About Thangalaan
Thangalaan is inspired by the true story of tribal communities living in the KGF during the British gold mining era. Vikram stars as the tribal leader who assists a British colonel in locating gold by sacrificing his own village for the benefit of his people, only to confront the wrath of a vengeful antagonist. The film has attracted significant attention and positive reviews and continues to perform well in theaters.
Talking about the film, Director Pa Ranjith told HT, "It’s an interesting film that takes place during the colonial period. It’s set in the KGF gold mines and about the freedom the oppressed people, who worked in the mines, wanted. Was their leader able to fulfill their wishes? The story revolves around this."
