By Rinku Gupta The Vetrimaaran Grassroots Films Sanga Thalaivan marks the debut of VJ Ramya Subramania n as lead heroine. Though the actor has done roles in Aadai and OK Kanmani, this is her debut as leading lady. Paired opposite Samudrakani on the film, she was all praise for the team at the audio launch press meet recently.  Talking about her role she said, " I play a village girl and mom to a kid in the film.

Review: KANNI MAADAM

By Rinku Gupta Rooby Films' Kanni Maadam marks the debut of actor Bose Venkat as a director. A Madurai couple elope after an inter-caste marriage  but Kathir 's ( Vishnu Ramasamy ) parents are baying for their blood and come searching for them to Chennai where the couple have found a sanctuary. But somwhow fate intervenes and Kathir is killed in an accident.  Now his pregnant wife Malar ( Chaya Devi) is left all alone. 2 good samaritan neighbours Anbu and Shankar  ( Sreeram Karthik, Murugan) rescue her but fate has other things in store. What happens next? Bose Venkat scores as a director not only in choice of subject but also in the handling of it. The  practical aftermath of elopement, all the more so in the case of  inter-caste rivalry, and the tragic effect it can have ( especially on the woman in case the spouse dies) is well brought out through scenes, situations and dialogues which are mature and kept to what's necessary.
