Film: "Thanga Meengal"; Cast: Ramsubramaniam, Shelly Kishore, Sadhana, Rohini, Padmapriya, Lizzy and Poo Ramu; Director: Ramsubramaniam; Rating: ***1/2 - Artsy, gutsy with minor flaws.
Ram's "Thanga Meenal" is not your ordinary Tamil film that comes week after week. It's a rare children's film that rises to live up to its purpose while stumbling along the way. Despite being overly sentimental and bravely taking a dig at primary school education system and a few other things, "Thanga Meengal" is a coming-of-age story of an unfit father struggling to make ends meet, told through the eyes of his eight-year old daughter.
