Watching the special scene of the film Aram Sei, created by director S. Balu Vaidyanathan, Thol. Thirumavalavan praised and spoke:
We watched the film Aram Sei, which was created by director S. Balu Vaidyanathan, who took on all the responsibilities of story writing, direction, and cinematography.
Suwetha, the co-producer of the film, also plays the protagonist of the story. He has made this film with the theme of political change, not regime change, as the main goal. He has made this film based on the theme of how the students belonging to the community of the wise are affected by the privatization of colleges as a storyline and on the basis that no new change can be made in politics without fundamental change, he has created this story on the basis of the youth who are fighting by forming a movement called Aram Sey political organization. Medical college students are leading a hunger strike to prevent the college from being privatized. After starting a continuous hunger strike and then ending it with a hunger strike until death, the students become targets of violence due to political interventions. A student who is protesting is murdered. The director has also created a position in this film that the struggle is moving towards the next stage. On the one hand, a change in politics should be created as a whole. Politics should be run according to the constitution created by the revolutionary Ambedkar. The thoughts of people like the genius Kar Max should reach the people. Anjana Keerthi has taken on the role of the young heroines on the basis that the working class including the farmers should be mobilized. She has played the role of a vibrant young woman with revolutionary thoughts. They form a new organization with the slogan of doing good deeds and politics. Armed struggle is not a solution to bring about fundamental change, the constitution created by Ambedkar is enough, he teaches that the people are our weapons. She was born in a noble family and is the granddaughter of a Supreme Court judge but was inspired by the poems of Mahakavi Bharatiyar. She was fascinated by Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose’s thoughts. A young woman who was energetic and wanted to make the dream of the revolutionary Ambedkar come true, formed a political and ideological army under her leadership and declared a protest when they besieged the Secretariat. That protest turned into a mass protest. People belonging to various organizations joined the Sixth Amendment political organizations to besiege the Secretariat. In addition, at the instigation of the Chief Minister and the ruling party, goons caused violence in the rally and threw bombs and went on a rampage. Two militants lost their lives in it. Anjana Keerthi played a role that taught the Leftists that even in the face of such deaths, our journey should not stop and the journey towards the goal should be intensified. Even though his grandfather, a Supreme Court judge, tried to correct him, the politics you taught me is what drives me. You planted it as a seed that day, and that seed has grown and blossomed today. So when he leaves, saying, “I am ready to face anything for the sake of this nation and for the freedom of the people,” his grandfather tells him, “Your path is dangerous. Keep my gun for your safety.” When he gives him the gun, he returns the gun to his grandfather, saying, “The struggle we are waging is dangerous. Weapons are not the solution. The people themselves are our weapons. The trust people have in us is our security. Therefore, we do not need weapons.” He returns the gun to his grandfather. In this way, director S. Balu Vaidyanathan plays the role of Thileepan. He leads and directs the college’s struggle. But the struggle did not reach a solution and did not take the form of a mass struggle. Therefore, he decides to join the Aram Seyi political organization and fight for political change. In such an environment, when the young woman who can lead the constitution and lead the organization is yearning for weapons, there is no solution to the struggle that you think. People cannot be an organization, we must use the people as our weapon, we must politicize the people, we must travel towards the goal of fundamental political change. Director S. Balu Vaidyanathan concluded this film by saying that everyone should continue our journey together, taking the example of medical college students among them. How is the student community ruined by political interference, how are the youth affected? Ganja is being used among students in colleges
He has included scenes like how Thai habits are spreading and how they are deteriorating due to alcohol addiction. His aim is very admirable. The one-line concept of this film is that our people should stage their struggle not as a struggle for regime change but as a struggle for visible change. With a revolutionary mindset, knowledge should be used as a weapon, not a solution. Leaders have guided us by example. We should absorb those leaders like Max Ambedkar and Periyar and work in this field. This film by director S. Balu Vaidyanathan, Araam Sey, is a film that teaches everyone who is striving for revolutionary change. My congratulations to the director, said Thol Thirumavalavan.
