Got some helpful and hateful mails :D.<BR/><BR/>Vadakkan Veeragatha is a very nice movie where a real life villain was portrayed as reel life villian . However there were controversies at that time by historians at that time . You wont find any article about the controversy now anywhere and I remember this from an MT interview.In fact the only authenticity of so many epics is based on what has been passed on through generations. There was an interesting argument in one of the Malayalam books which said that the actual villain in Ramayana is Rama and not Ravana because Sita's abduction was after the humiliation of Ravanas sister Shoorpanakha. It will be very interesting if we try to analyse more characters like this .N A R I YA L C H U T N E Yhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02604417510164019594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7722566.post-20049406215836406512008-04-03T12:48:00.000+04:002008-04-03T12:48:00.000+04:00There are a lot of books in Mallu that follow the ...There are a lot of books in Mallu that follow the same line. For example Randamoozham gives a very different perspective to Mahabharatha. (I see that deepak has already mentioned that!)<BR/>So does the book 'Urmila'<BR/><BR/>Vadakkan Gatha is one of my fav movies. Can't forget the songs and the final heart wrenching fighting sequence. Am not a Mammotty fan, but this movie is an exception for me :)Girl With Big Eyeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01805719199363814828noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7722566.post-83989758652737024702008-03-31T07:43:00.000+04:002008-03-31T07:43:00.000+04:00Havent watched the movie so far.

It shows Bhima of Mahabharata in a totally different light.<BR/><BR/>@Nikhil: The Tamil movie Dalapathy was a modern day version of Karna. That said, I think Karna was never an anti-hero in the epic.
