The cellular jail, a place where freedom fighters by the thousands were sent to years of rigorous imprisonment; a place that tells the tale of sacrifices that built India, of lives that were laid at the altar of freedom. Sirai Salai told through the eyes of a prisoner, the price of the freedom that we enjoy today. Convicted for fighting for one’s motherland, thrown into the gallows for voicing against atrocities, beaten, bruised and tortured, yet, they never gave up hope. The vast expanses of the huge prison, the dark cells and the darker motives of the overlords were all quite fittingly brought out on screen.
