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