Bharathi Kannama is a Tamil film directed by Cheran. The film marks Cheran's debut as a director and screenwriter. It was well received critically and commercially upon release.
[edit] Plot
The story revolves around Bharathi (Parthiban), a worker for a rich Thevar Zamindar (Vijayakumar). He comes from a lower caste and falls in love with the rich Zamindar's daughter Kannamma (Meena). Kannamma fells the same way, however their differing castes become a barrier, and as Kannamma's marriage is fixed to a wealthy man, Bharathi hasn't the courage to express his disapproval or start a relationship with Kannamma. His allegiance to the Zamindar, along with his fear of the caste system make him unwilling to stop the marriage. Bharathi's sister, however, also falls in love with a rich young man from a neighbouring town, and their differing circumstances do not hinder them from forming a relationship.
[edit] Box office
- Although this film marked Cheran's debut as a filmmaker/screenwriter, it did very well at the box office upon release.
