Synccinema Quickie - Major

  M ajor - Sincerely Celebrating the Unsung Hero Sesh’s  writing has brought a new wave to Telugu Cinema. His thrillers are that finest quality of binding smart with art, that you feel like your IQ has been raised by a few points after watching his film.  Major  has similar characteristics – the characteristics of a  Sesh  thriller.

Quite recognisably challenging to take this subject to the screen, Mani Ratnam   mostly succeeds in the daunting task of cinematically telling the first half of the novel. Why mostly?  The intimidating task to bring a novel (which is utterly dense in breadth and depth) to the world of cinema always has an inevitable sacrifice to regress the story. Ratnam said that he would be sticking to the core thread, which is, Vandiyadevan ’s journey as an agent as well as a messenger in reticently knowing and
