The take on death penalty told through the story of a temperamental villager caught in between two village clans. Told through an offbeat screenplay inspired by Kurosawa's Rashomon, the film narrates two versions of the same incidents. 'Virumaandi' is exhibition of filmmaking & culture of the land it depicts at its very best.

    A great movie by kamal with all the struggles it faced . A well written character driven movie made us feel betrayal,love , revenge and a story that links a small village in theni with the opposition of capital punishment. Brilliantly written movie with rashoman effect, one of the best edited . Great. Great. Great.

    Raw, bold and brutally honest Kamal layered narrative hits hard even today, a proper Tamil cinema classic.
