Sangeetha is one of the girls in the colony. It turns out that he is the adopted son of Varatharajan. He is the son of lawyer Varatharajan (Raghuvaran) but he lives separately. I score it 8/10 (one extra point for the nice production). Overall I think A SELVA is one of the best movies in Leonel Vieira's career and undoubtedly one of the best (co-) productions of the Portuguese cinema ever.
The soundtrack has the typical music of an epic story but it's a bit unoriginal and repetitive. It was interesting to see actors from three different nationalities work together so well. And about the production I must say it's above the average Portuguese movie! Probably because it's an international co-production and probably because it had more money than the Portuguese movies use to have, but a nice job was done anyway. I think it's visually very strong and beautiful. I didn't read the book so I can't tell about the novel itself or its adaptation to the screen, but I can tell you I did enjoy the movie and the way it was directed and produced. Adapted from a Novel by Ferreira de Castro (a Portuguese writer from the XX century) A SELVA is nice co-production between Portugal, Brazil and Spain, directed by Leonel Vieira.
