A film on Tamil Eelam gets U Certificate

The film involves some hard-hitting ground realities that Tamilians are facing.

Sinam Kol by Ranjith Joseph is the first movie based on Tamil Eelam to get a ‘U’ Certificate without any mutes or major cuts, claim its makers. The film is about a character played by actor Aravindhan of Aandavan Kattalai fame who gets released from prison after 6 years only to see that his house had been taken over by Sri Lankan army and his family is missing.

An excited Ranjith Joseph says, “We decided to shoot the film entirely in places like Jaffna and Mullaitivu in Sri Lanka, so that the audiences get an experience of being closely connected to the premise. It’s the first ever time, the entire technical team involving 78 crew members had travelled to Sri Lanka for shooting this film. Some of the technicians were Sinhalese and there was complete unity on the sets.”

He adds that the film involves some hard-hitting ground realities that Tamilians are facing. Scheduled for a July release, Ranjith reveals that the film has been sent for the National Award nomination.
