Bala has won the national award for best direction .I am sure that most people who saw his film 'Nan Kadavul' would have been repulsed by the stark depiction of human deformities without any frills or fancies and may have even skipped their meal that day in sheer revulsion unable to stomach the factual existence of such creations in a world that puts a premium on perfection. Perfect mind and perfect bodies.
Most people are of the view that people with such strange deformities are sub humans to be exhibited in circuses to be looked at curiously and to be a source ribaldry.
Bala has torn this veil and has done a great service to people trapped in their deformities.He has exposed the fact that they are human beings ,like you and me. They laugh and cry.They are not only stirred by emotions but are also fired with desires and ambitions common to all human beings.
Good work !The prize is well deserved.
