Special screening of 'Dr. Ambedkar' evokes good response in Hosur

Staff Reporter

KRISHNAGIRI: A film on the life of Dr. B.R. Ambedkar, the architect of
Indian Constitution, evoked good response from the audience in Hosur
on Sunday.

The film, screened at Raghavendra Theatre on the Denkanikottai Road,
attracted students, officials and members of Dalit associations in the
district.

The screening was organised by the Tamil Nadu Progressive Writers' and
Artistes' Association. More than 1,000 people viewed the film, said
State Deputy Secretary of the Association Aadhavan Theetchanya.

Association secretary N. Gopal, and president R. Tamilselven
co-ordinated the special screening.

As many as 150 students from John Bosco Girls Higher Secondary Higher
Secondary School also watched the film on Sunday.

The film, starring Mammootty and Sonali Kulkarni presented a vivid
picture on the major decisions taken by Dr. Ambedkar during critical
moments in Indian history. The film captures the leader's efforts for
the socio-economic uplift of the downtrodden. The Tamil Nadu
Progressive Writers and Artistes Association had approached the
National Film Development Corporation (NFDC) for screening the film in
various parts of the State.

The film had already been screened in Chennai, Madurai, Coimbatore,
Salem, Tirupur and Erode districts.
