Thangalaan Movie

THANGALAAN is the story of a brave man. The year is 1850. Thangalaan (Chiyaan Vikram) is the chief of the Veppur village and resides with his wife Gangamma (Parvathy Thiruvothu) and four children. Though he is a chief, he has to work as a bonded labourer. After the zamindar's (Vettai... Muthukumar) men set fire to his land, his produce is destroyed. He is unable to pay taxes, and he is forced to give up his land. This is when a British Officer Lord Clement (Daniel Caltagirone) arrives in Veppur. He is seeking gold from a nearby region and asks Veppur villagers for help, as he's aware of their ancestral expertise in tracing it. Everyone at first refuses as the story goes that the gold mine area is infested with ghosts. Thangalaan's great-grandfather Kaadaiyan (Chiyaan Vikram) was one such expert too. Thangalaan agrees and a few villagers also join him in the gold finding exercise. Thangalaan, however, is harassed by hallucinations of Aarathi (Malavika Mohanan), a sorceress and protector of the gold land. What happens next forms the rest of the film.
