Vasantha Balan has brought a shocking addition to Tamil movie theater. Targeting his attention on the sufferers of today’s workers, he creates a film detailing the injustices that these people are subject to on a day to day basis. The poor workers have nowhere else to go, and they live a life of misery and torment. He tells this story, all while creating a fantastic film to enrapture audiences and critics alike. His eye-opening addition is undoubtedly going to win awards for its excellence.
Just this year (2010), the Tamil film has been brought to the public and considered without a doubt a new masterpiece in Tamil theater. It is Angadi Theru. The film hit theaters in March, winning fantastic reviews by both critics and viewers. The film brought to light a painfully real story of young people who travel to Chennai, hoping to find better lives to live. Unfortunately the grass isn’t as green on the other side, and the film’s characters are met with suffering.
People who work on Ranganathan street have a difficult life. This is the theme and the image that Angadi Theru portrays for the audience. Jothi and Kani work on Ranganathan street, but live in entirely different villages. The textile shop they work at shows the suffering within the place of employment. Women are sexually harassed, men are physically abused, and all at the hands of their supervisors. Love blooms in the harsh conditions, and horrible consequences begin to show through. Talking to the opposite sex is banned, and from the beginning to the end of the film audiences are taken on an emotional rollercoaster as they feel the pain of the suffering men and women of Ranganathan street.
The shocking part of this compelling story is the fact that is based on real life experiences that Vasanthabalan feels strongly about. The writer knowingly developed this controversial film of the real lives of workers, placing it to the hands of harsh critics and audiences alike. His leap of faith proved fruitful, as the film has unanimously been decided as emotional, entertaining and compelling to watch.
Viewers of the movie have claimed to be completely moved by their experience. Visiting fan sites of the film reveal a shocked audience who recognizes their lack of concern for suffering salespeople in India. This Tamil movie is not only a fascinating story, but it also may play a strong role in altering people of what is happening behind the scenes of the stores and markets that they frequent.
