You are right on track. Documentary is Realism, but cannot be entered into motion picture category, but works like Kamaraj even though filmed in doc format enters the motion picture category as it had a proper release (ref. post #44). And with a telescopic lens, you can infer that Vazhaku Yen is in the doc format. What approaches it to Classicism (Realistic Classicism) are the songs and some exaggerated corruption affairs. But the songs are masked as the feeling of the character under a given situation, which is acceptable.
Not all films irrespective to its type should get sentimental with the audiences. I take myself as an example, I have a problem with the Romantics films churned out of TFI & Bollywood. That's something I have to deal with rather than "bad-mouthing" VTV for exemple, which I have not seen and will not either. So a movie approaches an individual how he approaches it and the degree of getting influenced determines the message received.
Again, personally you can like or dislike the film, the above is just to justify the position the movie holds. To add, not in its support either as we have not yet entered into comparing it with other nominated films.
