An international recognition of a different kind, that is what Pandiraj got for Tamil cinema through his debut directorial venture Pasanga – the Golden Elephant for the Best Director (judged by the Asian Panorama jury) at the International Children’s Film Festival. It was a rare and proud moment. Pasanga was not an offbeat, only for children flick which aimed to please juries and critics. It was a carefully crafted entertainer which held everyone in its spell; the proof is its success in theaters. Pandiraj, through his novel and path breaking efforts has definitely taken a big step towards initiating change in Tamil cinema. Great work Pandiraj! Keep it going!
