Kovilpatti Veeralakshmi is a 2003 Indian Tamil language film directed by K. Rajeshwar.[1] Simran dubbed in her own voice for the first time in this film with some dialogues dubbed by Deepa Venkat. She got a very good image as a diversified actress through this film. The film was initially planned to be started in 1996 with Shweta Menon in the lead role, but was delayed.[2] Notably it was the last film of music composer Aadithyan who went on to host a show on Jaya TV.

Plot

The film is about a brave woman who is battling against untouchability in a village. Casteism is a curse for Veeralakshmi (Simran) and her ilk, who undergo unbearable torture on account of their being Dalits. However this time it is not from the upper castes but from a brutally inhuman police force. It is a village where the inspector of police is the feudal lord. He beats up the poor men and rapes their women — and the rest of his menials in the force enjoy the leftovers. Subjugated to an unbearable extent, Veeralakshmi rises in revolt.

Reviews

A thread of sincerity runs through the entire film that makes different from the action flicks one is used to.[3]
