Yes.
Iam not able to get rid of it and was constantly thinking what the director has
really intended to convey through this film? Why this movie has received such
rave reviews, awards and recognitions? My mind didn’t accept the fact that I
like a movie because majority people liked it too. Of course, this is not a
mainstream commercial drama where the entire movie goes along with a single
theme. In fact, I have even been asking some of my friends as to why they like
this movie. But there were no readymade answers made available for me. Well,
that has what made me to think a little bit deep into it about this movie. Thanks
to Sunday for giving me some time to do it.
Aptly
suiting to the title, the movie flows in multi layered directions adding to it,
the non-linear narrative and the sudden revelations and by the time we think
what the movie unfolds, we reach the climax. The flamboyant title character ARUVI
(Need not be gender specific here) has strictly conveyed some life rules which needs
to be designed and reserved with us throughout our life.
To
start with, the movie pre-dominantly conveys only one message. Learn to live
your life independently. Don’t depend on others. Because, we don’t know when
that others will become strangers in our life. Like how a full stop is used in
a Para to make the sentence meaningful, even life requires a full stop to
certain people to make it meaningful. We should not worry about the full stop
made, rather be happy that it will lead to the start of a new sentence.
Life
will become easier when problems are viewed with a sense of humor. The
satirical scenes will not only make you to laugh rather question yourself that,
when there are people with so much of problems in their life who are still
happy, what you are facing is nothing at all. It altogether throws a diverse standpoint
on the way, life is to be viewed.
In
fact, the ending scene where the lead character was proposed by a boy question
you to think that whatever happening in the current era in the name of love is
not the real one at all. Love is something which must be felt on someone
without any reason, without any expectations, without any benefit in return. If
you can list down the reasons why you are loving someone, believe me that is
not love at all. It is called like.
Nowadays,
leading a happy life means changing your social network DP’s once a week, partying
with friends, going on monthly tours etc. The movie even touches upon this. Real
happiness does not lie in captivating things from others rather lies in giving things
out to others. That cannot be explained rather than be felt.
You
need not be serious even when things are not going as per your wish in life. In
fact, you must be happy because if everything happens as per your wish and you
are not at all struggling in life, you have not gone into the real-life phase
yet. You are like in the phase of a kid whose wish will always be fulfilled by
its parents.
When
life throws dis-appointments at you, rather than bending down to it, stand up
and convert those negatives into positives. The only one place where impossible
has a real meaning is in the dictionary. In our real life, there is nothing
called impossible. It is just lack of involvement. Your habits are designed
prima facie by your friends and for this movie too, the story takes a U turn
(which we may not even know at that time) only because of a friend. So, be extra careful
when accepting friend requests.
Having
said all, Aruvi (Waterfalls) metaphored to life here will look good when we see,
but the force it penetrates can be handled only with rock-rollicking calm happy
helping mindset. With this, I can positively say that ARUVI has joined with
Mayakkam enna to convert my list of favourite film from singular to plural.
