Nari Kurava folklore in Mysskin's 'Nandhalala'

After tasting sweet success with his first two films 'Chithiram Pesudhadi' and 'Anjathey', director Mysskin is on a high and is currently acting and directing the film 'Nandhalala'. The film is about two characters, a seven year old boy and a thirty year old 'child-like' man embarking on a journey in search of their respective mothers.

They meet a number of people on the way and end up being influenced by them. One such influence comes from a group of Narikuravargal (also known as Kurivikarargal). In what can be termed as the very first attempt, Mysskin has roped in an old Nari Kurava woman to sing a song that hitherto has been exclusive to their community.

The association with 'Nandhalala' and Nari Kuravas does not end here. Many of these gypsies have also been made to act in the film. The song features probably to bring about authenticity to the portions that they are involved with.

According to reports, Saroja, the name of the Nari Kurava woman hesitated initially when she was brought to the recording studio. After a while she asked if she could get some liquor. After she did have her request fulfilled, the woman sang the song 'Hallile' which stunned everyone present there.

Director Mysskin is of the opinion that 'Hallile' could very well be the next 'Vaale Meenu'. The director is also happy that he has been successful in bringing a folk song that has been trapped due to social constraints to cinema. Cinema however will take care of publicizing this song.

Incidentally the song 'Hallile' is all about praising God in his entire splendor. '

Nandhalala' introduces 'Kathala Kannala' fame Snigitha as the heroine.
