Not many people are even aware that such a film was made. It is indeed disappointing that a film about Tamil Nadu’s revolutionary and most inspirational poet, whose lines catalyzed the entry of many a people into the freedom struggle, ended up being a low key affair. But, the film itself was an extremely good attempt at documenting the life and times of Subramania Bharathi. The biggest surprise element of the movie was the performance of Sayaji Shinde as the poet. In a role that supposedly required excellent command over Tamil, the non-Tamil speaking actor did a wonderful job, convincing many that there was no such thing as a language barrier.
