Differently made

This 'City of God' is a movie with feelings and appeal for the proponents of differently made experimental cinema. Director Lijo, Anil Mathew and their crew needs to be applauded for the efforts in keeping away cliches and commercial thrusts on the narrative structure, though they may find it a little difficult to cruise in the box-office( which is already ruled by such 'Christian brothers' and 'China towns'). May be, our viewers may take a little more time to befriend such varied attempts.(more)

But here the viewer is required to invest his intellect and undivided attention to grasp the proceedings.(more)
