Kovilpatti Veeralakshmi is a 2003 Indian Tamil language film directed by K. Rajeshwar.[1] Simran dubbed in her own voice for the first time in this film with some dialogues dubbed by Deepa Venkat. The film was the last to have music composed by Aadithyan, who went on to host a show on Jaya TV.
Plot[edit | edit source]
The film is about a woman who is battling against untouchability in a village. Veeralakshmi (Simran) and her fellow Dalits undergo unbearable torture due to casteism from a brutal police force. In their village, the inspector of police is the feudal lord, who beats up the poor men and rapes the women, with his behaviour emulated by his officers. Pushed to the limits by the extent of her subjugation, Veeralakshmi rises in revolt.
