Honorary Kadalu Delay in the meaning of death, a concept touched his previous films by the director (Galipata, God,, In his latest film, he goes deep into the idea of ​​life and death. Problem with Honorary Kadalu The director intends to express a lot of things quickly. We are served with history, generation gaps, relationships and lessons on philosophy, making it too much to digest after a point.
