When the first and second styles combine to form a gripping tale which can catch the pulse of the mass, the odds are that it cannot be ignored as mere triviality or entertainment. In the recent past we have come across such movies and to name a few Anbe Sivam, Anjathey, Subramaniyapuram, Azhagi.
Kunguma poovum konjum puravum is a movie that falls under this category, a movie which has a gripping narration and elements of social importance tightly sewn together. At the first viewing it moves the viewer and also asks a series of questions which rock the foundations of our social setup. Its a stark reminder of our times where we have changed a lot on the surface while deep down we hold on to a series of archaic thought processes.
Its a tale of a vibrant and intelligent gal who gets the wrong end of fate time and again challenging her to move on in life. It reminds one of movies like Chinatown where "hope" never materializes into reality for the protagonist.
Kudos to the moviemakers for coming up with a gripping narration at a time when commercial movies rake in the moolah.

Most of the movies nowadays are made for money. But I do see movies that combine the first two types as mentioned by you. Tare zameen par was one such movie to add to the list.
I'll try to see this movie. It better be good!
its definitely worth the watch... on the surface its hard to recognize the point the director tries to make... but a good attempt...
"no-brainer entertainers " - totally disagree.
