π Hi friends Good day π
π Here we talk about story of 1947 Tamil new movie released & Review π
Story from August 16, 1947:
In pre-Independence Madras, a remote imaginary community is governed by a terrible British general. The three-day narrative centres on the lives of the downtrodden and illiterate villagers who are unable to learn about India's independence because of their seclusion. A rebellion to rescue them all is led by a local thug named Param.

Param and Deepali, who are portrayed by Gautham Karthik and Revathy Sharma, fall in love. The townspeople, however, won't allow the Twain to have a happy ending. The antagonist Robert (a OTT Richard Ashton who resembles a cross between The Undertaker and Kabir Bedi) presents this destined pair with another another issue. We seldom feel for the characters, their problems, or their suffering in August 16 1947, which is a concern. Even if some of the pictures by cinematographer Selvakumar S.K. are stunning, the accompanying music can't save it from feeling hollow.
Sengadu is a hilly community with little communication with the outside world mostly because of its difficult terrain. In Sengadu, a brutal British general named Robert (Richard Ashton) governs, ordering men, women, and children to labour for sixteen hours straight in the cotton fields without a breakβnot even for toilet breaks. Those who act weakly or violate the law receive brutal retribution from him. Jason Shah, Justin's father, is a rapist who targets all village women past adolescence. When their daughters reach adolescence, the men of the community turn to killing them because they believe it to be a better outcome.
A small-time burglar named Paraman (Gautham Karthik) works for the Zamindar (Mathusudhanan) and despises the locals. He is secretly in love with Revathy Sharma, the Zamindar's daughter, who everyone believes to be dead but who is actually Justin's father using as a ruse to flee. Robert intends to keep Sengadu in the dark about India's declaration of independence while Justin learns Revathy wants to rape her. The central question in "August 16 1947" is whether Paraman would be able to save the woman he loves and whether Sengadu will ever be able to celebrate the hard-won Indian independence.
According to historical accounts, one of the key reasons the initial uprising for Indian independence did not ignite the desired spark was a lack of communication channels. Therefore, even though we know that the community will eventually hear of their freedom, the circumstances leading up to it create a certain amount of intrigue.
There are simply too many scenes that repeatedly evoke the same emotion, whether it be the romance between Paraman (Gautham Karthik) and Thenmozhi (Revathy Sharma), the suffering and violence that the villagers experience on a daily basis, or the templated dialogue and actions of the British General Robert (Richard Ashton) and his son Justin (Jason Shah). In comparison to Rakhi Sawant, Richard Ashton is a bigger, more violent Brit who regularly hams it up online. He oversteps every boundary that may have prevented him from becoming a caricature because he is so loud and obnoxious.
Both Pugazh, who plays his dependable friend, and Gautham, who plays a young man who is bitter but happy-go-lucky and whose mother falls victim to tyranny, do well. Revathy portrays a 20-year-old woman in trouble who is kind-hearted and performs admirably. Richard Ashton stands out as the cunning ruler who suppresses the news of Independence from the villagers on purpose in order to leave Sengadu looking like a king.
August 16 1947 has good production values and a fascinating subject, but it lacks a crisp and compelling story due to dragging sequences and a confusing plot.
