forte,
the lyrics. So, one would expect the movie
to have a poetic touch about it. Directed
by Jeevan, the movie has Sreedevika as Pa.
Vijay’s heroine. She plays a North
Indian girl in the movie and to her credit
has dubbed for herself. The movie is said
to be a very clean and neat story of a young
man, with absolutely no glamour. In fact,
the makers claimed that Pa. Vijay has ‘not
touched the heroine’ in any part of
the movie.
Gnabagangal has been shot in a wide range
of locations ranging from Ooty, Madurai,
Salem, Delhi an Agra. The climax scene of
the film, which was shot for three days
on the premises of the Taj Mahal is a highlight
of the movie. When was the last time that
a movie’s climax was shot at the Taj
Mahal? A set replicating a huge bungalow
in Haridwar and a set in front of the Pariyoor
Amman temple are other highlights of the
film that have come out very well.
Music for Gnabagangal has been scored by
James Vick. Coming from the pen of an acclaimed
lyricist, having him in the lead, one really
expects Gnabangal to be a memorable film.
Let’s hope that Pa. Vijay’s
poetic touch remains intact in the story
too. |
