Review of the film ‘Naandhi': What it Takes to Turn the Tables! Posted on 24 May, 2021
When a powerful man tells Surya Prakash (Allari Naresh) that his 40-year career is on the line, Surya retaliates by asking if his predicament, after spending five years in jail for a crime he didn't commit, doesn't matter at all. Surya has lost almost all that matters to him, and he stands to gain little by fighting for justice. Vijay Kanakamedala, a first-time producer, wants us to pause and pay attention to a fictional tale based on many true events. What happens when a person is wrongly accused of murder and is pushed to breaking point by police brutality? This conjures up images of the Tamil film Visaranai, but also of real-life police violence that has made headlines. Vijay isn't done yet. He discusses the likelihood of the survivor prosecuting the suspect under IPC Section 211.
