     15Designed as an action melodrama blockbuster 
     16to follow the successful Eenadu (1982). The 
     17film addresses the 1921 Moplah rebellion when 
     18poor peasants, mostly Muslim, rose against the 
     19landowning aristocrats, mostly Hindu, while 
     20the British operated their characteristic divideand- 
     21rule policy after the defeat of Tipu Sultan. 
     22The historical and political contexts of the 
     23rising are treated in terms of a catalogue of 
     24cartoon-like cliches and stirring nationalist 
     25speeches. The meat of the movie is in the 
     26rapes, battles and other nastiness perpetrated 
     27upon the innocent. The film-makers explicitly 
     28stated their wish not to support nor to 
     29contradict any possible interpretation of the 
     30historical events to which they allude.
