zero and beyond

If some one asks me to pick up 1 movie to represent Indian cinema, I'll pick Kannathil Muthamittal (a peck on the cheek),without any second thoughts!
[Run time: 2hr 16min]

The theme song that appears in the start & end credits,roughly translates to-

Let white flowers blossom everywhere in this world
Let the world wake up in peace
Let yellow sunshine embrace our earth
Let flowers blossom,awakening everyone
Let the child awake to the warmth of the mother
Let the world dawn to the innocent smile of a child

In that music,in which the wind rejoices
And in the music,in which the rain dances
Can that music replace the joy of silence ?
Can a billion words conjured into a poem,convey the meaning of a tiny tear drop ?
Where a child reaches its arms,can you fill that void,oh beautiful moon ?
Where humanity puts an end to war,Can you sing there,my dear white cuckoo ?

About the film, anything more will be spoiler to the movie <taken frm a user review at IMDb>
In Sri Lanka,a country divided by religion and language,the civil war between the pro-Sinhalese government and the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE), a separatist organization, has claimed an estimated 68,000 lives since 1983. Human rights groups have said that, as a result of the war, more than one million people have been displaced, homeless or living in camps. The impact on children and families caught in the conflict is sensitively dramatized by acclaimed Tamil director Mani Ratnam in his 2002 film A Peck on the Cheek, winner of several awards at the National Film Awards in India. While the civil war is merely a backdrop for the story of a young girl's voyage of discovery, the human cost of war is made quite clear and Ratnam gives the fighting a universal context, pointing the finger at global arms traffickers as the source of wrongdoing.
