so I don't know what you are mixing up with what. The mrigangam player in the movie is Delhi Ganesh (he gets drunk once and questions about alcohol). I think Janagaraaj is a liar, he only strums the tambura. :) However, I agree! Balachandar is obsessed with Sahana. What does the world expect of those who are compelled to sing? To carry the weight of tradition, or to simply be absorbed in music? And I like the fact that the name of the movie itself refers to two women: Sindhu and Bhairavi, who reflect the lifechoices that the singer is expected to make. Janagaraaj, who played the Ghatam/ or Mridangam (mory fails!) and his questions about alcohol, and what purity meant. The extra-marital affair, the burden of a marital bond, the notion of 'virtuous women' (Sindhu's mother), the notion of virtue in Carnatic Music, the 'purity' required etc. And of the internal and external conflicts experienced in Carnatic Music. The isolation experienced by musicians, especially true when their own spouses do not share their passion, but are devoted anyway. Sindhu Bhairavi dealt with music at various levels I think. And I think Balachandar's fascination revolves around that fact. The serial Sahana was supposed to take off from the movie Sindhu Bhairavi.
