Aboorva Sagotharargal - Opening Sequence.

Last Saturday, I saw Aboorva Sagotharargal after many years. I have seen the move twice in Theatres - Coimbatore Archana and Jai Shanti - during my 3rd std annual holidays and few times on the TV too. But only, this time, I was intrigued by the opening sequence. The first shot opens with a duck swimming(but we see only the close-up of the duck's neck) and then it starts running in a narrow mud path quacking with other ducks following this one. In the next Shot, we see a man herding these ducks; a baby crying in front of a hut. A Granny comes and picks up the baby, and the baby's father asks her to give the baby for mother feeding; then he gets into the hut. The moment he gets in we see a car crashing through the hut by a sidekick with the Hero chasing him in the Bike. My question is: What's the point to show all these details which are no way related to the chasing. Straight away the director could have shown the Highway with Hero chasing the villain's man. But the director didn't. First he creates a calm atmosphere and then all of a sudden this chasing happens.
