THE ’REFORMERS’ FROM TAMIL CINEMA

Every society needs a harbinger of change. In real life, they happen once in a generation. In cinema, they happen nearly every Friday. But, by harbinger of change we do not mean superheroes or their likes that fight, fly and preach their way to change. We are not looking at ‘Robin Hood’s or super cops. We are looking at the common man and people among them who showed courage to stand up for what they felt are right. We look at some of the best social reformers that have been created by Tamil cinema on screen.




	Vijayakanth – Ramana

	Ramana had the potential to spark off a silent revolution in Tamil cinema. It told the story of one man who decided that his country was going to be free of corruption. So, how did he go about it? Not by the usual commercial ‘bang-bang’ approach. Youth are the force that can transform the destiny of a nation; Ramana unified them for one cause. Intelligently scripted, sensibly treated, Raman seems contemporary and relevant even today, around eight years after its release. Inspiring film making!
