Pada

One of the rare movies that gives 100% satisfaction. Must watch.

I cant find any fault to this movie. Never bored and directed very well.

Watch and support these kind of movies .

Being someone from Palakkad, I suggest that this is a must watch for all malayalees. It shows the atrocities shown by communist Kerala government towards Adivasi community. It shows the actual facts as it is without twisting anything.

The shameful fact is that, government still continues to deny Adivasi any justice and they are still suffering.

I am proud of the actors, directors and the film crew for their courage and guts to openly portray governments inaction and injustice. Kudos to them.

This movie points our finger to the fact 'Right to live', no one in this world has the right to question 'the existence of any other living being'. Earth belongs to each and every self survivors.

Though the way they forced to protest for a group of human's freedom for land and equality with threat, this era deserves the act.

Live and let live with respect!!

Pada is based on real life incident of collectorate coup happened in Palakkad during 1996. The group who calls themselves Ayankali pada made the government machinery stand still for 9 hours with the demand to with the demand to withdraw tribal bill passed in legislative assembly.

Director doesn't divert anywhere and show us what was really happened. There are no surprise elements except the one in the revealed at the end. So keep your expectations low. If you are a person who knows already or if you have read all these somewhere regarding what happened in 1996 better stay away there is nothing left for you in theatres.

The problem with the movie you will be expecting something big to happen but nothing happens at all but at the end of the movie a news reel with snippets tells us why this kind of movies should be made.

There is not much change for them in these 25 years, be it left or right.

I know nothing about the situation so I don't know how true or inaccurate this movie is but it is well done. Nice pace, pretty good acting by the main principals and most of the supporting actors, showed the different agendas local, state of national agencies have in times of crisis and a glimpse (hopefully accurate) of what it's like in this region of India. Hotel Mumbai comes to mind but this one it deeper and richer. Definitely worth see if you can handle the subtitles.
