A milestone in Tamil cinema… 10 years of ‘Visaranai’; The film crew gathered together!!
Some films released in Tamil cinema are not just films, but become the voice of an era and a social witness. In that sense, the 2016 film ‘Visaranai’ has completed 10 years of its release today.
To commemorate this special moment, the film crew of the film gathered together at the studio of director Balu Mahendra for a discussion and expressed their happiness.
Director Vetrimaaran, writer Chandrakumar, actor V.Ira.Dhinesu, director & actor Samuthirakani, Karunas, director Saravana Subbaiah, Munnar Ramesh, Dileep Subbarayan, director Tamil, cinematographer Ramalingam and many other prominent personalities attended the event.
The film “Visaraani”, based on the book “Lockup” by writer M Chandrakumar and produced by Wunderbar Films and Grass Root Film Company, recorded all these on screen with great honesty and courage, the human rights violations taking place in the name of police investigation, the cruel face of power, and the pain of the common people. The film received great appreciation from fans and critics as a cinema that tells the truth without any major commercial compromises.
Directed by Vetrimaaran, natural acting, documentary-like visuals, and heart-wrenching storytelling turned ‘Visaraani’ into a social document that goes beyond an ordinary film. The recognition the film received at national and international film festivals was one of the key moments that raised the standard of Tamil cinema on the world stage.
Fans expect that bold, socially responsible films like ‘Visaraani’ will continue to be made. In that sense, ‘Visaraani’ remains a film that is still alive and speaking even after 10 years.
