DIRECTOR SEEMAN CRITICISES RAMESWARAM FILM
BY, N.THYAGARAJAN
Director Seeman was very eager to know about the story-line of the Rameswaram which talks about the Sri Lankan Tamils. He was disappointed after coming out of theater and criticised, the film was shown as a Sri Lankan refugee who arrive here falls in love with a daughter of a land lord, which was unacceptable. He also criticised, that the film had failed to picturise anything about the Sri Lankan Tamils who were suffering a lot in practical in the Island. Whoever comes to India as a refugee thinks about going back to their native place to lead peaceful life. The Rameswaram had failed in this respect also, said Seeman.
He also recalled that when he was in Sri Lanka, in Kandy he was shown the temple of Lord Buddha. He was told that the Lord Buddha's tooth were safely guarded in the temple. When this news was narrated to Seeman, the director at that time thought himself that those people had been guarding the Buddha's teeth safely but left to guard and practise the 'Teachings of Buddha'..
