Excellent, finally Thanga Meengal got a theatrical release. Now it can go flying to many international film festivals - I hope.
Its funny that the journalist or the critics do not take up this issue but put questions why a tamil film does not get selected for national awards and film festivals.
How can it make it if a proper certificate is obtained but no theatre wants to release it. If this trend continues, then indie films journey would come to an end. Immediate attention is needed here.

Talking about Pon Maalai Pozhudhu I was buying a few CDs and when I went to pay for them, they slipped in the DVD of PMP saying it was free!

It was too preachy for me ! The main issue with Indian Indie cinema is just too many and filtering good quality ones becomes harder and harder. Every single NRI and Every single guy with good financial background wants to produce a preachy art movie about india's issue.

I am yet to see a single art movie (in recent times), which is light hearted and carries a good message. Edjampal Make a movie based on Abdul Kalam's Wings of Fire !! our movie industry needs a "LittleMaster82 Reset"

Whats the relation between a film releasing in theatres and going in for film festivals? It can happen in any order imo. You have a lot of films going in for film fests and national awards before its actual theatrical release. A good example is Aadukalam. The movie was officially released in theatres in Pongal 2011, but contested in the National awards along with the other 2010 releases. You also have Aaranya kaandam as another example. And I don't think this is an 'indie' film at all.
