Muthukumar Sundaram

Thangalaan, directed by the visionary Pa.Ranjith and featuring actor ChiyanVikram, is a cinematic experience that stands apart in Indian cinema. Set against the backdrop of the Kolar Gold Fields, Thangalaan is a historical drama that explores the lives of an ethnic group brought to these regions for gold mining. The film brought us into their history, tracing their experiences from 600 years ago and detailing their plight in the 18th and 19th centuries. It’s a attention to detail of their struggles, showcasing their oppression and the exploitation they faced due to their strength and innocence. Overall the story, screenplay and background score was awesome. Must watch a flim in theatres.
