Thank you, Shyamala ji. (i am from the late 70s, and as a mark of respect will maintain Shyamala ji).
You bet, i am on board/continue on MK through your posts.
On Maya, I completely agree with your thought process, that, if the makers intent was to get the viewers grasp any esoteric hidden meanings, then it would have been made explicit. One would expect them to know their market better, and, what a futile exercise if much of the research/effort is not grasped by the masses.
The only Maya who has ever impressed me was in Gautham Menon's - Kaakha Kaakha - Tamil movie. She is introduced as a beautiful illusion, in an otherwise monochromatic lifestyle of a IPS officer. The few movies i watched, makers/writers experimenting with Maya as a connotation to illusion, have grappled with re-creating the enigma on screen.
