Dravidianist separatist Thirumurugan Gandhi launches a tirade against the martyred Major Mukund Varadarajan that crosses all bounds of respect. After baselessly condemning the Amaran biopic for portraying Indian Army chants, Gandhi is now slandering Major Varadarajan himself—labelling him a “war criminal.”

Amaran Controversy

The controversy around Amaran, the biopic of martyred Major Mukund Varadarajan, does not seem to die, with Dravidianist separatist and terror sympathiser Thirumurugan Gandhi labelling the martyr a “war criminal.”.

After making unfounded allegations against Amaran, in which he objected to the portrayal of Indian Army soldiers shouting “Jai Bajrangbali,” he failed to realize that this is the battle cry of the Rashtriya Rifles and the Rajput Regiment military units of the Indian Army. He further claimed that the film allegedly depicted the entire Kashmiri population as enemies, calling it a “one-sided” narrative that undermines the rights of the people of Kashmir.

Gandhi said to the press, “In the film, he (Mukund) catches a Kashmir terrorist before interval. He gets beaten up and then the hero kills the injured person. This is an encounter. It is called Summary Execution. This comes under war crimes. If the director says that this happened in reality and Mukund Varadarajan did it, that means there must be a case filed against Mukund Varadarajan at the international level and he must be tried for war crime. I don’t know whether the director intended to show Mukund Varadarajan as a war criminal or if he was really one. How can you shoot someone who is lying down injured without any weapons in hand? You can kill an army, a terrorist, a rowdy, a mafia, an enemy or a villain. How can a hero kill an injured person? Army cannot kill an unarmed person, it must only arrest them and produce them in court, an investigation must be done. If he had made a mistake or murdered someone, he has to be punished”.

The post Dravidianist Separatist Sympathizer Thirumurugan Gandhi Says Major Mukund Varadarajan Who Gunned Down Terrorist Altaf Baba Must Be Tried For War Crime appeared first on The Commune.

M H Jawahirullah, the MLA from Papanasam and the leader of the Manithaneya Makkal Katchi, has surprisingly raised strong objections to the film “Amaran”, accusing it of portraying the entire Muslim community as terrorists. The movie is based on the real-life story of Major Mukund Varadarajan, who played a key role in the 2014 counter-terror operation in Shopian, Jammu and Kashmir. Jawahirullah urged political leaders to reconsider their support for the film.

Directed by Rajkumar Periyasamy, “Amaran” features notable performances by Sivakarthikeyan and Sai Pallavi and has garnered attention for its action sequences shot in the challenging terrains of Kashmir. The film is based on the heroic deeds of Major Mukund Varadarajan, a soldier in the 44th Battalion of the Rashtriya Rifles, who was involved in significant military operations in the region.

Despite receiving widespread praise from political figures such as TN BJP chief and former IPS officer Annamalai, Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M. K. Stalin, and Anbumani Ramadoss, the film has been starting to get criticism from some Dravidianist and now Jawahirullah. He took to social media platform X to express his concerns, claiming that “Amaran” unfairly portrays land rights activists in Kashmir as extremists and terrorists, while also casting a negative light on the Muslim community as a whole.

Jawahirullah argued that the film injects harmful ideological elements, similar to films like “The Kashmir Files” and “The Kerala Story” and accused it of fueling hatred against Muslims.

He wrote, “A recently released movie titled Amaran portrays the land rights activists as terrorists and engages in micro-ideological terrorism that spreads the hatred on the entire Muslim community. Progressive critics have established with evidence that Amaran is a film that artfully injects the deceit ideology of films like Kashmir Files and Kerala Story like a needle into a banana.”

“The film is produced by Kamal Haasan’s company, which has been condemned for artistically imposing the stigma of terrorism on the Muslim community by making and acting in the films Unnaipol Oruvan and Vishwaroopam. Mrs. Vanathi Srinivasan, the BJP executive who defeated him in the election, appreciates that the film should be screened in schools,” he added.

“What other proof can there be that this film is the mold that emerged in the action plan of the Sanghi’s battlefield war movie, to seed poison in the hearts of youth. In the name of art, the film stigmatizes the thousands of miserable women living in the brutal condition of ‘half-widows’ in Kashmir. Many of those who fought democratically for land rights and independence were hunted down by ferocious beasts hiding in uniforms. Tens of thousands of people disappeared. How cruel it is that the film portrays all of them as terrorists without showing any sympathy towards them…!” he questioned.

“The reception from “sanghis” proves that the movie Amaran has done the same kind of distortion that flawed movies like Thuppakki and Viswaroopam did. The political leaders of Tamil Nadu should come to a simple stance that anything that the Sangh Parivar and their political wing BJP is praising is not good for Tamils ​​and is against social justice. The communal BJP government’s justification for abrogation of Article 370, which gave special status to Kashmir, is not art but murder of justice,” he stated.

“It is also sad that many leaders are praising the film for its toxic anti-Muslim elements without knowing its micro-politics, and this should be avoided in future. We have awarded and honored the directors of the films of the talented artistes of the film industry such as Maanaadu, Maamanithan, Ayothi, Merku Thodarchi Malai, Jai Bhim on the conference platform of Manithaneya Makkal Katchi. Films like Nandan and Meiyazhagan that have been released are commendable. The above films were films promoting humanity and social harmony rather than promoting hatred, a agenda of the Sanghis,” he further added.

“Let us honor the heroic sacrifice of Veer Mukund Varadarajan and at the same time note that hundreds of lives sacrificed belonging to Muslim, backward, most backward and underprivileged communities have been blacked out without giving such light. Just like Tamilnadu is fighting for its state rights, people of Kashmir are fighting for their land. Throwing a artificial darkness of cinema and distorting their struggle for rights and hiding the atrocities done to them and continuing to portray them as terrorists in people’s minds is an act of ignorance without knowledge,” he further added.

“The RSS Sangh Parivar is the only organization which has not adopted the Indian national flag for half a century and has not hoisted it in its office. Its descendants need not lecture Muslims on patriotism. We urge the film industry not to continue the work of destroying social harmony through films that distort history and sow hatred. Indian Muslims have never been in a situation to learn about patriotism from Sanghis,” he stated

“The people who lived by the catching tail and foot of the white man should learn patriotism by reading the histories of thousands of Muslims who fought against the white imperialism of slave India and laid down their lives for this land in the many battlefields for independent India. Our soldier Havildar Abdul Hamid, who took part in the war against Pakistan in 1965 within a few days of his marriage, lost his life by destroying 8 army tanks in Pakistan. He was also awarded the Param Vir Chakra, the highest military award of the Government of India. He was also praised in the Government Gazette of 1965. In the Kargil war too, many Muslims including Kunnoor Abdul Sattar from Tamil Nadu, our Tamils ​​have sacrificed their lives for our country,” he finally stated.

அண்மையில் வெளிவந்துள்ள அமரன் என்ற திரைப்படம் மண்ணுரிமைப் போராளிகளை தீவிரவாதிகளாக சித்திரம் தீட்டி அந்த வெறுப்பின் வீச்சை ஒட்டு மொத்த முஸ்லிம் சமுதாயத்தின் மீதும் பரப்பும் நுண்ணிய கருத்தியல் பயங்கரவாதத்தை கைக் கொண்டிருக்கிறது.

In 2023, Jawahirullah’s party erected banners that derogated Hindu gods and Bharat Mata to target the Modi Government on the Manipur violence. The banner showed caricatured images of Narendra Modi as Lord Ram and Amit Shah as Lord Lakshman holding bow and arrows standing on either sides of a naked woman (Goddess Sita), hinting at the horrific incident in Manipur in which a woman was paraded naked and sexually assaulted. Following The Commune’s report, he apologised for erection of such banners by his party cadres.

Contradicting to what MMK chief Jawahirullah said, the film sparked controversy, particularly among some Dravidianist groups, who felt threatened by the rising nationalist tone in cinema. These critics claimed that “Amaran” wasn’t just promoting nationalism but was dangerously leaning into Islamophobia. This criticism fueled a heated debate, with Muslim leaders denouncing the film.

The post Head Of MMK Jawahirullah Whose Party Slandered Hindu Gods And Bharat Mata Has Meltdown Over Amaran Which Celebrates Indian Army appeared first on The Commune.

The film Amaran, based on the life of Major Mukund Varadarajan, is said to be inspired by the book India’s Most Fearless by Shiv Aroor and Rahul Singh ambitiously seeks to capture the spirit and sacrifices of a remarkable soldier. However, despite its earnest intent, the execution falls short on a few fronts, detracting from what could have been a powerful film. There are several spoilers, so please read with caution.

From the opening scenes, where army personnel each speak a different language while praying, it’s clear the film aims to depict diversity within the ranks. Yet, the attempt feels forced, with two soldiers performing namaz in the backdrop of Hanuman Chalisa on the player prominently displayed to emphasize inclusivity. The next few scenes introduce us to the character where Sivakarthikeyan, playing the role of Major Mukund Varadarajan, calls for a rallying cry akin to Uri’s “How’s the Josh?” – in this film, they shout “Rashtriya Rifles!” but without the same impact – at least in the opening scenes.

Sai Pallavi, cast as Major Mukund’s love interest, seems to have been cast in the role because of her curly hair and the fact that she played the role of a Tamil-speaking lecturer in Premam, a Malayalam film. In this film there is a scene where she speaks to her professor in Malayalam, even though her character is shown to study media and is spoken to in English. This choice appears incongruent, especially as she remains the only one speaking her native language in scenes where others use English, creating an odd dissonance. Sai Pallavi’s Malayalam dialogues could have been dubbed by a Malayali rather than herself, it would have felt more authentic.

While being from Kerala, her dialogue about Kerala’s cultural relevance in Mukund’s life feels like an attempt to connect Mukund’s heritage, yet the film fails to acknowledge he was born and grew up in Kerala, a detail even Wikipedia missed—this point could have added meaningful depth to his character’s background.

Portrayal Of Major Mukund’s Family & Community

The portrayal of Mukund’s family is another area where Amaran stumbles. It is still unclear why the director decided not to portray Major Mukund’s family as an Iyengar family. The film depicts his father as a silent figure – almost like a background prop, overshadowed by a stern mother who openly disapproves of his career choice multiple times, refusing to take part in significant moments like his pipping ceremony during the passing out parade. Sivakarthikeyan is also seen addressing his father as “Naina” all through the film and it seems deliberate.

Why is it a problem for the director, producer – part-time politician Kamal Hassan, (and probably the distributor – Red Giant owned by the DMK first family) to depict a hero to be from the community he really is from? Is the director playing his part in staying true to the “Brahmins in Tamil Nadu do not join the Army” Dravidianist narrative?

We respect soldiers as soldiers, not for their caste, creed, religion or whatever – they are all our guardians without whom we will not be safe even for a minute. But when care is taken to highlight Indhu Rebecca (Major Mukund’s widow) as a Christian in almost every scene, one wonders why this care is not given to Major Mukund equally. In reality, in the pictures available on the internet, Indhu is hardly seen with the cross around her neck. She is also shown as very god-fearing, it is not clear how much of that is true – if all these intricacies could have been made note of, the same effort could have been taken for Major Mukund’s character as well – there is only one scene where he shows his “ishta deivata” – Swami Ayyappan and that’s all.

One cannot call it a biopic if such important details are missed deliberately. We saw this distortion in films like Soorarai Potru, said to be the biopic of Captain Gopinath, a Tamil Brahmin, but in the film, he is portrayed as a follower of the anti-Hindu bigot EV Ramasamy Naicker and from a different community.

Some Other Inaccuracies

While the mother would be one of the most influential figures in Major Mukund’s life, her character is reduced to someone who is unsupportive of his choice of bride, disapproving of his choice of profession – it is in very tiny bits that the parents’ love is shown in the film.

Yes, we see the film through his wife’s eyes but for a biopic, every detail is important.

In the film, Mukund is seen modestly denying coming from an “army family,“ however, their role in shaping his aspirations definitely needs acknowledgment – his grandfather and uncles were members of the IAF, and he wanted to emulate them. This part is completely left out.

In terms of character portrayal, the physical miscasting of Mukund as a 5’9” actor instead of the towering 6’3” stature of the real Major diminishes his presence to some extent.

One of the film’s biggest letdowns is its slightly unbalanced focus on the love story, which often eclipses Mukund’s illustrious military life. Youth in the audience seemed to cheer more for romantic gestures than for the courageous acts he performed on duty. While a love story could be the perfect ingredient for a biopic like this one, is the director trying to send a message that interreligious marriages must be encouraged, and only then one can find success in life? Or, come what may, stick to your selfish interest and ignore your parents’ words?

In the film, the couple faces hardships over the parents’ acceptance of their love – in reality, Mukund’s parents yielded first and pretty quickly rather than Indhu’s parents. It is also unclear why Major Mukund’s mother who in reality is from Kerala is shown dissing his choice of bride for being Malayali! She says, “Respect is for Tamil only.” – a dialogue that again feels out of place – was it forced fit to suit the Dravidianist agenda?

In the scene where he is inducted into 44 Rashtriya Rifles by his CO AS Dabas, the history of Kashmir, from the time of partition to the ascension of J&K to India and its status to date, is updated to Major Mukund by the CO himself! It is a fact that soldiers are expected to read national and international history during their training days.

The CO may give the incoming officer the latest updates, but teaching him lessons on the entire history is funny—it could have been narrated in the background instead of reducing the CO to this stature.

Most Glaring Addition

One wonders why the song on Azadi was even a part of the film – is the director in appreciation of the terrorists’ slogans? The lyrics of the song and its placement are a total misfit and come across as supportive of separatist sentiment rather than respectful of the Indian Army’s efforts.

The slogans chanted by terrorists make up the lyrics of this song:

“Hum kya chahthe?

Are zor se bolo!

Are saare bolo!

Hai haq humaari!

Hai shaan humaari!

Jaan se pyaari!

Hum cheen lenge

Hum kaat denge

Tum he deni padegi

Chaahe dande maaro

Chaahe goli maaro

Aag laga do”

This is interspersed with lyrics in Tamil that seem to adulate Major Mukund and his bravery. But having these slogans as a part of the lyrics will make every single youth start singing along without understanding the meaning and intention of these slogans that are only chanted by terrorists!

What Works

Sivakarthikeyan shines through in the role, his development over the years from a college goer to a Gentleman Cadet to a Major in 44 RR is remarkable.

The BGM by GV Prakash in crucial portions works well, it helps to show Army officers in the same light as other film heroes – this jingoism (or not) is necessary especially to drive the point about an Army man being a real-life hero among the youth who have been fed fantasy and Dravidian nonsense all their lives. It is high time that our real-life heroes – our army men, the guardians of our country, are shown in a positive light.

The terrorists are not glorified, the issues in Kashmir are shown fairly well without any bias, and the gory scenes seem to have been cut off a little as mentioned in the censor certificate.

It was a joy to listen to Jai Bajarang Bali – the war cry of Rashtriya Rifles which is not a common feature in Kollywood films, let alone chants of other deities.

The depiction of the counterterrorist operations is handled pretty well in the film. There are 2 times when Major Mukund begins to become larger than life = when he neutralizes the wanted terrorist Altaf Baba and says “This is the face of the Indian Army” and the scene where he carries his team member Waheed on his shoulders rescuing him from a daredevil operation just as he is going to be beheaded – that moment Major Mukund shone like a bright star – the film should have had more such moments.

The words “When you go home tell them of us and say, for your tomorrow we gave our today” seen a couple of times in the film leaves one with a lump in their throats, as does the final moments and goodbye of the martyr.

What Could Have Been Better

Staying true to the reality could have been a better strategy. Amaran could have honestly shown that Major Mukund was from an Iyengar family. Better characters could have played his parents. The relationship with his parents could have been depicted reasonably well. His love for his daughter seems underwhelming compared to his love for his wife (as shown in the film).

His love for the Army and country was not portrayed realistically—it could have been better. The focus seemed to be on showing Major Mukund as the hero. Yes, he is a hero, but also showing what he loved the most, more than the human relations he valued—the Army.

The final moments, where Mukund’s last wishes are conveyed, also suffer from a reductionist approach. He is said to have wished to have his parents, wife, and child cared for – but it gets distorted a bit. It would also have been better if they had shown his words to his CO in English rather than in Tamil. The last respects for Major Mukund were a revelation – people from all walks of life travelled to his residence to pay their final respects – even neighbourhood autorickshaw drivers – unfortunately, that is not shown. It would have added to the majestic image that the biopic aimed to create about Major Mukund.

While Amaran has its negatives, it also has all the elements of a blockbuster – a hero, a love story, a mission. For Kollywood, this is a start, this film can be the guiding light of sorts for nationalist-themed films, films on the armed forces, real-life heroes, freedom fighters etc, to be made in a state that has given the country 1 Param Vir Chakra and 4 Ashoka Chakras. The director could have done a little more homework and tightened the script further. But for a state that churns out action movies and over-the-top stuff, this is a good beginning especially when there are people in the state and the country who are allergic to “hypernationalistic nonsense”.

The post Honest Review Of Amaran: A Tribute That Falls Short Of Authenticity, Could’ve Been A Lot Better With A Little More Honesty appeared first on The Commune.

The much-anticipated biopic on the martyred Major Mukund Varadarajan, Chennai’s own hero was released on 31 October 2024 to house-full shows. It is noteworthy that Major Mukund Varadarajan was the fourth recipient of Ashoka Chakra award from Tamil Nadu. 

While the cinematic depiction of the martyr’s life has probably motivated several youngsters, the film does not exactly show all the details.

The film is said to have been inspired by the chapter on Ashoka Chakra awardee Major Mukund Varadarajan in India Today anchor Shiv Aroor’s book India’s Most Fearless, co-authored by Rahul Singh. The chapter on Major Mukund details how he neutralizes the targets he sets his mind to – Altaf Baba and Altaf Wani (Asif Wani in the film) – the Qazipathri operation to neutralize Wani becomes fatal and his final operation as an Army officer.

Childhood & Early Life

While the film shows his life from 2004 during his postgraduate course study at Madras Christian College, it does not trace his family background or his early life much. Here’s something on that.

Major Mukund Varadarajan was born on 12 April 1983, in Kerala’s Kozhikode district in an Iyengar family. Mukund was a courageous kid right from his childhood and was always said to be surrounded by his friends – we do not get to see this aspect of his life in the film. He was a very naughty kid at that – In an interview with Rediff, his mother Geetha Varadarajan states, “I lost count of the windowpanes I have paid for! But he was a brave, courageous child who led from the front even at that age.”

Since Mukund was deeply passionate about joining the army, Varadarajan considered enrolling him in a Sainik School. However, he had to set aside the plan when he was transferred from Thiruvananthapuram to Alappuzha.

Major Mukund earned his bachelor’s degree in commerce from Sri Chandrasekharendra Saraswathi Viswa Mahavidyalaya in Enathur, Tamil Nadu, and later completed a diploma in journalism from Madras Christian College in Tambaram.

Major Mukund’s Parents

Mukund’s father and mother who are not given ample screen time in the film need to be spoken about. His father worked in a public sector bank, and he came from a family where his father and two of his cousins served in the Indian Air Force. Varadarajan himself hoped to join the Air Force like them, but as the only son, his parents persuaded him to pursue a different path. More importantly, Major Mukund would not (in real life) address his father as “Naina“, but rather use the term “Appa“.

While Major Mukund’s mother was adamant about him joining the Army, the film registers her dislike in a very uneasy way. They do not show how he had asked his father for Rs 10000 to get a modelling portfolio which he refused and decided to join the Army as an alternate profession. His mother later laments that had they agreed to give him that money, Major Mukund would still have been around in flesh and blood.

His Love For His Parents

The 2015 Rediff interview with Major Mukund’s parents also shows how much he loved his parents – something that is not shown sufficiently in the film – it tends to focus more on his wife. While it is not right to belittle the strength of an Army wife, the parents who brought him into this world and loved him to bits are not depicted as well as they should have been. Major Mukund’s mother reportedly stopped making sweets after his martyrdom since it was her son’s favourite.

In the film, he is not shown how much time he spent talking to his mother and how much he said he missed his family. It is reported that after he joined the Army, he would speak for hours with his mother whenever he spoke. The fact that the Army was his life was not depicted enough. He loved the forces so much that while his heroics need to be spoken about, his real love for the Army did not shine through adequately.

Before every operation, Major Mukund would tell his mother to Pray for him, he would not divulge the details but he would tell her to do this. However, for the operation to neutralize Altaf Wani, he did not tell her to. The last time he spoke to his parents was on his birthday and that is not shown in the film. In the film, he is seen telling his wife that he will be in town after the elections and asks her to keep it a secret from his daughter. In reality, he had told this to his father and asked him to keep it a secret from his mother.

His Love For Food

Yes, it is difficult to depict as many aspects as possible of a person’s life, especially if it is a biopic, but small things like his love for food was nowhere to be seen. Rediff reports that he loved dosas and since he grew up in Kerala, his love for puttu and kadala curry was also noted.

Last Words

The dying words of Major Mukund have also not been depicted properly – the officer accompanying his mortal remains home stated that the last words still echo painfully, “Please take care of my parents, wife, and child.”

The post What ‘Amaran’ Didn’t Reveal About Major Mukund Varadarajan appeared first on The Commune.

A leaked censor certificate for Sivakarthikeyan’s upcoming film Amaran, a tribute to martyred Major Mukund Varadarajan, reveals that the film promotes an inaccurate depiction of the Indian map. Netizens quickly criticised the film’s producer, Kamal Haasan, alleging the misrepresentation reflects anti-India sentiments. The Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) has reportedly demanded edits, instructing the removal of the flawed map visuals and a change in dialogue.

Amaran – Deepavali Release

Kollywood actor Sivakarthikeyan is set to captivate audiences with his upcoming film “Amaran.” Inspired by the life of martyred army officer Major Mukund Varadarajan, featuring Sai Pallavi as the female lead. The theatrical trailer was released on 24 October 2024, and the army-themed storyline has already garnered an impressive response.

However, the inspiring narrative has not been without controversy. The film has recently completed its censorship process, and a censor certificate of the movie that went viral on social media displayed an inaccurate representation of the Indian map, leading to backlash from netizens, particularly targeting producer Kamal Haasan, who is also a full-time Kollywood actor and part-time politician.

Netizens criticized the certificate, arguing that the crew’s changes reflected derogatory and anti-India sentiments. The certificate stated, “Remove the visuals of the map, as it does not accurately represent the country,” and requested modifications to the dialogue from “And India rescues…” to “…annex aatchu.” This backlash comes in the wake of recent incidents in Tamil Nadu, where the ruling DMK misrepresented the Indian map by depicting parts of Jammu and Kashmir as belonging to Pakistan and China.

The Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) granted the film a U/A rating, and its runtime is 169 minutes (2 hours and 49 minutes), suggesting that the screenplay needs to be particularly engaging to hold the audience’s attention. “Amaran” is written and directed by Rajkumar Periyasamy, known for his work on “Rangoon.”

Produced by full time actor and part time politician Kamal Haasan, R. Mahendran, and Sony Pictures International Productions, the film features a score by GV Prakash Kumar and was primarily shot in Kashmir. With significant buzz and the Diwali festival approaching, “Amaran” is anticipated to perform well at the box office on 31 October 2024.

Following the leak of the censor certificate, netizens lashed out at the production house. Here are some reactions.
