A wonderful movie around the Sri Lankan Tamil war. Nandita Sen a Tamil refugee ends up in Rameshwaram and gives birth to a girl child. But she wishes to go back to fight for Tamil Eelam. So she leaves the child in Rameshwaram and goes back.
Madhavan an engineer by profession is inspired to write after seeing the plight of the refugees and he becomes a famous author. He uses the pen name of his neighbour. Simran, with whom he is in live. Simran prods his conscience and he tries to adopt the girl child from the refugee camp but it is denied as he is single. He marries Simran and they bring up the child.
At the age of nine they decide to tell the child the truth. This leads to a series of disasters as the child now wishes to meet her biological mother.
Finally they go to Sri Lanka to in search of her.
The child meets up with her mother amidst the war torn Tamil Eelam. It is a heart rending movie to watch.
The question is raises is, should the child be told about it being adopted or should it not? If it is told should be told when it much older and can possibly understand better?
Good to see a film on adoption.
