Hey! Ram

Ram Ram, hey hey Ram Ram, Ram Ram Salaam Hey! Ram Ram

Where there is no longer poverty, there will be no-violence.
Where there is happiness, there a myriad lights will shine.
Darkness will not go, light will not come, it will not bring morning…
(just saying) Ram Ram, hey hey Ram Ram, Ram Ram Salaam Hey! Ram Ram
Who knows when Judgment Day may come?
Who knows when you and I may lose our way?
All that is in your power here is to act,
And the consequences of actions no one can avoid.
O Friends, let our religion be humanity! Friends, Let it be humanity!
Learn from what is past, but think of the present and future.
Those who are gone are truly gone, not even their shadows remain.
Today, O People, light the lamp of love, O People, light the lamp of love!

Ram Ram, hey hey Ram Ram, Ram Ram Salaam Hey! Ram Ram

Watching Hey! Ram, a glimpse of yesterday, from a vantage angle, but a temporary height called today last night, I was struck by the detail and also the way Kamal presented past and present. He changes the cinematography concept of past and present. Where most directors would portray the past in black and white footage, Kamal reverses it. He portrays the present in black and white. I thought that was brilliant. Hey! Ram is an important and must-see film,

a visceral and visionary experiment in mainstream Tamil/Hindi cinema.

Hats off to Dr. Padmashree Kamalhassan.

Hey! Ram

btw, look out for the English version of this marvelous movie titled Confessions of the Assassin.
