An atheist accompanies an alcoholic ward on a journey to Sabari Mala. He witnesses a stampede and experiences another tragedy at this famous Hindu place of worship. He comes back a changed man with a little more understanding about the ways of the believers.
What a ridiculous premise for a film made in 21st century India.
Alcoholism and atheism are the least of India's problems. It is extreme religiosity as a result of organized religion that is destroying this country. How many alcoholics in India declare openly that they are alcoholics? In Kerala, they tried to introduce alcohol prohibition in 2014. Also, who are the prominent Indian atheists like Hitchens or Sam Harris? There are none. In fact, some of them like Kalburgi were murdered over the last few years.
But the religious folk, led by the Hindu fundamentalists march on in 21st century India. Yet, this film suggests the atheist must understand the point of view of the believer.
How about believers try to understand the point of view of alcoholics and atheists?
