Veerapandiya kattabomman [
www.imdb.com] was the movie that made every Tamilian hate the british. the emotion was created mainly by the acting of the late Shivaji Ganesan [
www.chennai.net] who acted as the King Veerapandiya kattabomman who (the king) was hung by the british..
still it is many tamilian's favourite movie. Shivaji is still many (most or even all) Tamilians favourite actor.. Many (most or even all) Tamilians still hate the british rule... my brother doesn't beleive me when I say that the present day British/English live in this country (brittain) are not the people (mentality-wise) who ruled us... he doesn't beleive me at all.
Actually I was looking for another one... siraichaalai, unfortunately I couldn't find a decent site to post here, it was about an island (one of the Andaman and Nicobar islands) maintained as prison during the british rule and the "treatment" prisoners got there etc...
I do not know whether you all know about mass murders in india during british rule.. Jalian valabagh was one among them (and the biggest bloody event was too). another one was shown in this movie [
store.nehaflix.com].. all indian females (in the meeting) were undressed knowing that that was worse than death for indian girls.. and they all (all females in the meeting) suicided themselves (straight away)..
