Mouni (NR)

synopsis

"Mouni" juxtaposes through two protagonists the irreconcilable conflict between the historical-pragmatic and the intransigent-elemental dimensions of human nature. Appanna Bhatta and Kuppanna Bhatta personify these two opposing dimensions. Appanna Bhatta exemplifies the spirit of resilience that enables human beings to come to terms with changing circumstances whereas Kuppanna Bhatta symbolizes the utterly uncompromising spirit that transcends the pulls and pressures of historical forces, especially of the manipulative kind.
