Director's note
                The epics ,myths and legends of India are the interpretations and expressions of its Vedanta Philosophy. The ultimate aim of life is to study, experience the Vedanta and to practice it in our day to day life, to reach the culmination of bliss and the attainment of salvation (Moksha).To reach that goal our forefathers propounded four ways.They are the path of action(Karma) knowledge (Njana) devotion(Bhakthi) and meditation(Yoga).On this foundation of thought Kandethal(Revelation) has been created. Here, through ancient Vedantic philosophy, one can overcome the contemporary trials of life and attain peace and bliss.
                  The enquiry of parents -having their one and  only child abandoned them, the reason behind that, the enquiry of the father quite worldly, resulted in grief and frustration. While the enquiry of the mother, that she evolved from her lineage, the knowledge of the self becomes intuitive. The result was the experiencing  of peace and bliss. That is why the film picturised , not giving importance to wide shots, leaving aside the life situation and giving importance to persons and their personal problems. Besides this film focuses on the search of inner and outer minds of mother and father and establishes the presence their respective Gurus
                         But about the four wide shots- represents the aspects of fire, water, air and sky of the five  elements(Panchabhutangal) .The camera is used as an expression of a person  or as the movement of a person
                          The film is created ,considering the eyes of vision of the sitting spectator and denying the present technological complexities. The film very simply narrates, like a philosophical revelation, the personal grief of characters and to get  the  concentration for emancipation from them ,Kandethal (Revelation) created by me on belief that cinema should be an application of the vision to get transformed and attain peace through the wisdom of visual experience
