Warning: Spoilers
If u guys never seen a Indian movie..better start with this one..Indian movies are generally very superficial with lot of dance and fights...but this movie is very deep....with vikram's national award acting ,,actually surya did equally good.. and the only Indian movie which can be compared to international standards.Though there are lot of bollywood movies which are doing pretty good but the difference between them and Pithamagam is Unique....the B'wood are heavily influenced by other foreign movies but Pithamagan is a genuine material. somee other movies like nayagan which is a pure rip-off of "godfather" & once upon a time in America has got more credits than this movie..thats very SAD... the film is said to be based on a short story by jayakanthan. the story revolves aaround a vetian(who burns dead bodies accord to Indian tradition) who is detached from the society and how he gets close to some superb characters played by Surya. Laila, Sangeeta

Whats soo great about director Bala, he creates a world with characters so different and extreme at the same time very realistic. words really can't describe....its a must see..if u guys could get this movie with subtitles ...grab it..u will cry
