A week back when people watched Vijay’s “Puli”, they have some complaints. Quite surprisingly, even “Rudhramadevi” flaunted similar mistakes in couple of scenes. In Puli, in the first ever song of the film, Vijay is almost wearing a pant and a shirt.
With the film’s story setup in some fantasy medieval backdrop, showcasing a hero in a pure shirt-pant where modern collars and figure hugging cut of the pant are clearly visible, is nothing but making mockery of audiences.
People would be accepting any historical deviations and cinematic liberties in Rudhramadevi too, but not these costume errors. The character Naga Bhairava played by Baba Sehgal is shown wearing a modern-day low cut vest (baniyan).
Period of Rudhrama dates back to 13th century and there is no fine manufacturing of such vests here in India, though we are spinning clothes. In what way Gunasekhar would justify that costume?
