Balaji Tharaneetharan's Oru Pakka Kathai

In this second episode of the Balaji Tharaneetharan series we discuss the recent direct to OTT release Oru Pakka Kathai. @gradwolf & @anantha are joined by special guests @equanimus & @milified to discuss: - The fantastical nature of the topic and how it presents its social commentary - What is the film trying to say about science, religion, and how both interact? - What is the portrait it draws of the children in the film? - Is the film pro-life? How do Balaji's films portray women? - Female centric films in the male gaze - Ranking the 3 films Balaji has made thus far A huge thanks to our guests for joining us in this engaging discussion!
