Life is not a simple question with a simple answer and Deva brought it onto screen really well. I watched Prasthanam the first time and felt the way everybody felt, movie is too good without the songs. I went back again and watched the 2nd time with couple of my friends and thought WOW what a great movie. I thought since I was a smart person I got the essence of the movie. I read almost all the reviews and felt there are many smart people (the numbers are growing day by day).People started writing about the many different aspects of the complexities of a human life (they are done yet) that was showcased so well and thought provoking way in the movie. The biggest of biggest emotional moment to subtle cinch in the forehead to the jealous look by the Characters were so well planned and showcased by the director.

I was, am and will be forever amazed by Deva’s perseverance and conviction in making this movie 5 yrs after releasing his 1st movie the way he wanted it to be. Doing small things like going to grocery store on time is the biggest thing in my life sometimes. I say I am amazed because I was there most of the time when he was writing the movie. My journey with this movie was put on hold when Deva went to India to start the actual production. I was very tensed all throughout the production and like china says tension movie release timeki nashalaniki vekkindi.(pardon my telugu am very bad at it unlike Deva). I probably was more tensed than Deva himself.

After seeing and Hearing all the accolades he is been getting from everybody there were instances where I jumped up and down out of joy and instances where I felt very sad of not being in India sharing his joy. Then it suddenly hit me. I am the one person who is most fortunate to share a little permanent spot on this earth beside him as the love of his life. This gave me more happiness than anything. I am proud to say that he is not only a great film maker but an extraordinary human being. Ok I think I was enough humble till now. If there is anybody who can change the image TFI has today and take it to greater levels it is going to be the one and only Deva Katta my partner in love, sorrow and every essence of life . Love u a lot kanna am really proud of you and forever will be.
