Jai Bhim' to be screened at Indian Film Festival of Melbourne

T.J. Gnanavel’s critically acclaimed courtroom drama Jai Bhim, starring Suriya, Lijomol Jose and Manikandan in the lead, will be among the Tamil films that will be screened at the Indian Film Festival of Melbourne, which will take place from August 12 to 30. The film narrates the story of a brave activist-lawyer, who fights for justice when a poor tribal man, who gets falsely accused of robbery, goes missing from police custody.

Some of the other thought-provoking Tamil films in this year’s festival include the docu-fiction movie The Road to Kuthriyar and Perianayaki.

The Road to Kuthriyar, directed by Bharat Mirle, stars Dhruv Athreye, Chinna Dorai, Parvathi Om, M.K. Raghavendra, Mariammal and Saravana Dhruv.

Perianayaki, by Bala Murali Shingade, stars Jeyagowri Sivakumaran. — IANS
