Independent films are less known in Tamil industry.
It's one of the realistic forms of cinema.
I think that one of the major reasons for the lack of realism in art is due to the artists compromising themselves in the name of mass desires and the fans' expectations.
Leena Manimekalai is one among the uncompromising filmmakers who express their thoughts wholly through their works of art regardless of good or bad, liked or disliked. She was introduced to me through her poems when her collection 'OTRAI ILAI ENA' was published fifteen years ago. Today I have read, watched and followed all her works. I personally had a little more exposure about her hard work and untiring efforts.
Maadathy is her recent and important work. Caste is a lethal effect of man's sixth sense. It's an awful result of his identity politics creating division amongst his fellow human beings.
A society that is oppressed as untouchables and even considered as a sin to look at. Showcasing the violence imposed on them even after being enslaved, their state of mind, problems faced in day to day life and their traumas, Maadathy is filmed amazingly illustrating a young woman living in the slopes of the serene western ghats. It is a must watch film which should be rightly appreciated and taken through a critical discourse.
