It’s a known fact that Veyil was screened
under the Tous les cinemas du monde (all the
cinemas of the world) section in Cannes. Veyil
was the first Tamil movie to be screened in
this famous film festival, but the movie was
in the non-competitive section. Still it was
no mean achievement and it has unquestionably
put Tamil cinema on the world map.
If this is considered to be great news for Kollywood then
wait to hear about this. Veyil has been selected by the
famous Shanghai film festival in the competitive section.
The movie is being nominated in the Asian best newcomer’s
award. This is indeed a very proud moment for Tamil cinema
and all credits must go to Vasantha Balan the director
of the movie and Director Shankar for believing in such
an offbeat theme. The date of the screening of the movie
is said to be on the 19th of June. Lets just pray that
‘Veyil’ is successful in enticing the judges
and the viewers alike. All the best Vasantha balan.
