16 august 1947 movie

By Janani K: India’s independence is one topic that has been an intriguing idea to explore in films. In Tamil cinema, films like Indian, Madrasapattinam and several other movies enjoy a special place in the hearts of people. AR Murugadoss’ production venture, August 16, 1947, was cut from the same cloth. The fictional story is about a secluded village called Sengadu, where people do not know that they have attained independence. . Paraman (Gautham Karthik) is a petty thief and an orphan in Sengadu. The village is headed by Robert (Richard Ashton) and his son, Justin (Jason Shah). While Robert tortures the villagers physically, Justin yanks away the young women to rape them. Meanwhile, a zamindar (Madhusudhan Rao) and his family keep their daughter (Revathy Sharma) hidden so Justin doesn’t set eyes on her. What happens days and hours before they finally attain independence forms the story. Director NS Ponkumar’s August 16, 1947, has an interesting plot. The idea of getting independence after enduring several years of slavery and torture has ample scope for emotions. Add a love story to it, the film will have enough meat to make it engrossing. Despite having all the necessary elements, August 16, 1947 is a damp squib, thanks to the orchestrated proceedings. We are introduced to the village of Sengadu, where slavery is prevalent. People are made to work for the British for 15-16 hours. They are not allowed to drink water or urinate. Women get kidnapped just to be raped by Jus...

Abhishek Agarwal: 'I want to build India's equivalent of LVMH' Mohaan Nadaar's Footprints on Water bags top honours at international film festivals August 16 1947 is a very intriguing title, and equally fascinating can be to make a film on this very title. What exactly happened a day after India’s independence and partition? Just like Anil Sharma’s Gadar- Ek Prem Katha, producer This is the story where love blossoms between Param and Deepali, played by Gautham Karthik and Revathy Sharma. But the villagers won’t let the Twain have a happy ending. This doomed duo also faces another conflict in the form of the villain Robert (An OTT Richard Ashton who looks like a hybrid of Kabir Bedi and The Undertaker). The problem with August 16 1947 is we barely feel for the characters, their issues, and their plight. And no matter how hard the background music tries, it all feels hollow, even though some shots by cinematographer Selvakumar S.K. are impressive. The makers across the country are currently suffering from the Pan-India syndrome, where the performances are dialed up, the grandeur is gargantuan, and the background music is audible till the moon. What began as decent attempts have now morphed into desperation. Look at the culminating reels of the period drama, a never-ending barrage of the heroes and the villain overpowering one another ad nauseam. Murugadoss’ films, even the ones wholly underwhelming, have had some moments of pathos and genuine thrill, even Darbar and Spyder. ...

Express News Service Many films, over the years, have documented the independence struggle, usually culminating with nationwide celebrations on August 15, 1947. There have, however, been barely any films that speak of the immediate aftermath. It’s this period that filmmaker NS Ponkumar seeks to explore in his debut film, August 16, 1947. “Our story spans three days, between August 14 and August 16. It is set in a fictional village that doesn’t receive the news of independence due to its geographical setting and illiteracy. Though the film isn’t based on real life, I have looked to keep the treatment as real as possible,” he says. The film marks the return of AR Murugadoss to film production five years after he produced his last, Rangoon. On returning to production with a film that marks the debut of his assistant, Murugadoss says, “I usually don’t ask my ADs to narrate their dream script to me. However, my ADs recommended that I give Pon Kumar’s script a shot. I was impressed by the writing, but I was apprehensive about it being a period film. Good dialogues aren’t enough for a project; they need good music, production value and visuals too. Though I have known Ponkumar for years, I took a leap of faith with this film, and I can gladly tell you that the results are promising.” Interestingly, Gautham Karthik, who played the lead in Rangoon, also headlines August 16, 1947. The actor believes this to be an important film in his career. “I can’t thank Murugadoss sir enough for...

What if a village in the hinterlands of Tamil Nadu, one that is in the southern tail end of the Western Ghats, doesn’t get the message that India has gotten its independence on August 15, 1947? Worse, what if the local British officer chooses to keep villagers in the dark about the biggest news in the history of the country? That’s the premise of Gautham Karthik’s upcoming period film August 16 1947, produced by ace director NS Ponkumar, an erstwhile assistant director of Murugadoss, has written and directed the film. The trailer of the movie released on Tuesday promises a brutal story about a village that suffers at the hands of a menacing imperialist. The trailer also hints at a love story between the lead character played by Gautham and the daughter of a zamindar, who is not let out of the house by her family. Earlier, during a media interaction, the director said that August 16 1947 is essentially about freedom. It is not just about the emancipation of the country, it also deals with what freedom means for an individual. The lead character is a brat, who doesn’t bother about the greater good of the country or his village. All he cares about is his lover, and when he realises the ultimate freedom of his whole village will only save his love, he hits back at the white supremacist.
