Thangalaan (transl. Son of Gold) is a 2024 Indian Tamil-language action adventure film[b] directed by Pa. Ranjith, who co-wrote the script with Tamil Prabha and Azhagiya Periyavan. It is produced by K. E. Gnanavel Raja under Studio Green and Neelam Productions. The film stars Vikram in five roles alongside Parvathy Thiruvothu, Malavika Mohanan, Daniel Caltagirone, Pasupathy and Hari Krishnan. During the British Raj era, a fierce tribal leader sets out to stop an apparent sorceress, after earning her wrath when assisting a British general in tracing gold in their village.

The film was officially announced in December 2021 under the tentative title Chiyaan 61, as it is Vikram's 61st film as a lead actor, and the official title was announced in October 2022. Principal photography commenced the same month. It was shot sporadically in several legs, and wrapped by early-July 2023. Filming locations included Chennai, Andhra Pradesh, Madurai and Karnataka. The film has music composed by G. V. Prakash Kumar, cinematography handled by A. Kishor Kumar, and editing by Selva RK.

Thangalaan was released worldwide on 15 August 2024 in standard, 3D and EPIQ formats, coinciding with India's Independence Day. The film received mixed reviews from critics who praised the lead cast's performances (especially Vikram, Parvathy Thiruvothu, and Daniel Caltagirone), storyline, action and GV Prakash Kumar's background score but criticized the historical inaccuracies, visual effects and writing.[9] The film grossed ₹72–100 crore against a budget of ₹100–150 crore and emerged as a box-office flop.[10]

Plot

In 1850, in the village of Veppur, North Arcot, Thangalaan resides with his wife, Gengamma, and their children. As the village chief and a landowner, he is highly respected, unlike most of his fellow villagers who are bonded laborers on the Zamindar's land. Thangalaan often regales his children with bedtime stories, and one night, he narrates a chilling tale about Aarathi, a woman from the Nagar tribe, believed to be a sorceress and protector of the land in the deep forests.

Thangalaan's great-grandfather, Kaadaiyan, belonged to a tribe skilled in extracting gold from the Ponnar river sand. When a king, passing through the area, discovered the mountain's gold veins, he sought Kaadaiyan's expertise to retrieve the gold. However, Aarathi had set up obstacles, including snakes, to safeguard the territory. Kaadaiyan initially refused to help the king but was promised the land his forefathers had lost to the king's ancestors, which had been gifted to the Brahmanas. Kaadaiyan eventually agreed, but the king found the retrieved gold rocks to be fake, attributing it to Aarathi's sorcery. Enraged, the king beheaded a Buddha statue after being urged by a Brahmin priest, who cited Buddha as a sorcerer. A fierce battle ensued between Aarathi and Kaadaiyan's men, resulting in Kaadaiyan slitting Aarathi's abdomen, unleashing a torrent of blood that flowed over the land, transforming the sand into gold.

Gengamma interrupts Thangalaan's storytelling, as their children have already fallen asleep. In an attempt to seize Thangalaan's land, the zamindar's men set fire to the farm produce, rendering Thangalaan unable to pay the taxes. Consequently, his land is transferred to the zamindar, and Thangalaan and his family are forced into debt bondage. Meanwhile, British officer Lord Clement arrives in Veppur, seeking gold, and is aware of the villagers' ancestral expertise in tracing it. The villagers fear Aarathi, but Thangalaan, his son, Asokan, fellow villagers Varadhan, Gengupattar, and a few others embark on a journey northwest. Thangalaan begins hallucinating Aarathi's presence, warning him away from the forest, but he presses on, overcoming challenges like a river, black panther, sandstorm, and snakes.

Upon reaching a trench created by a lightning strike, Asokan discovers the beheaded Buddha statue, and Aarathi frightens him from underwater. Undeterred, they proceed to find the remaining remnants of the statue with gold traces at the bottom. However, during the gold extraction, lightning strikes Clement's son. Clement vows to find the gold ore at any cost, thanking Thangalaan for leading them to the site and gifting him his son's clothes. Clement also provides daily wages, while Thangalaan returns to the village, boasting of better pay and respect. He gifts the village women blouses, tempting them to join the gold mining effort. The entire village, including the women, set off to the barren forest, only to meet their fellow villagers lamenting for being exploited by both British and Indian middlemen, who had deprived them of necessities, as they had only found a few iron and silver ores so far. Thangalaan remains resolute in his pursuit of gold at the same site, despite Asokan getting possessed with Aarathi and warning the group to abandon the mining work and return to their village. Thangalaan, however, recalls his dream and finds a small rock matching the one in his dream, insisting on digging the lode deposits nearby.

But, he is attacked by snakes, one of which fatally bites his younger daughter. Aarathi's intervention prevents Thangalaan from saving her. Despite the lack of food, wages, and amenities, Clement, with Thangalaan's help, continues the work, and they discover a deep, abandoned mine. As they enter it, Thangalaan recognizes a place similar to his dream and finds streaks of gold. In the chaos that follows, the British claim the gold as their own, leading to a fight in which Arasani is shot. However, the gold stones turn out to be mere clay, courtesy of Aarathi's sorcery. Their settlements are destroyed in a fire, but they are given hope to continue mining. The starving population spots a buffalo, which Thangalaan, reminisces of Aarathi, and kills it, after which, they all consume it. Later, he motivates the group to dig deeper, where Aarathi, in her present birth, appears with her men, attacking them ruthlessly. Aarathi subdues Thangalaan, using her sorcery to reveal his past lives. Thangalaan recalls being Arasan "Aaran", a tribal king, and his wife, Aarathi, in the 5th century, together protecting the land's resources, mainly gold. Aarathi safeguarded the land while Aaran set off to fight trespassers, but was defeated and, in his subsequent births as Adhi Muni, Kaadaiyan, and Naga Muni, he became a slave to dominant communities, facing discrimination and ostracism.

He and his men were forced to labor and extract gold for their oppressors. Thangalaan pleads with Aarathi, acknowledging their duty to protect the land but also prioritizing the community's welfare, which had been neglected. The dying Aarathi grants permission for Thangalaan to fetch the gold, but only for his community's benefit. Enraged by Clement's attack on Aarathi, which fatally slit her abdomen, Thangalaan kills him and the other officers, declaring that the land and its resources are hereby their own, not to be exploited by foreigners. With newfound determination, Thangalaan single-handedly ventures deep into the mine and finally discovers an abundance of native gold, finally bringing joy to his community.

Cast

Production

Development

While working on Madras (2014), Pa. Ranjith had narrated a script to Vikram and planned to team up for the film but was delayed, due to their commitments on multiple films.[11] The project then materialized in September 2021 with K. E. Gnanavel Raja's production house Studio Green funding it, with Ranjith's banner Neelam Productions.[11] An official announcement regarding the project was made by the production house on 2 December, with the film being tentatively titled as Chiyaan 61, referring to Vikram's 61st film as a lead actor.[12][13] In a media interaction in May 2022, Ranjith stated that the film will be set in the backdrop of the Kolar Gold Fields in Karnataka, and that being a historical drama about working-class miners who discovered gold in the 19th century.[14] The official title Thangalaan was announced on the eve of Diwali, 23 October.[15]

Pre-production

"Ranjith fictionalises pieces of history to give agency to Dalits. Instead of showing Dalit people as those who went to KGF because they were dirt poor, without food and water, and presenting an account where the film sympathises with their sorry plight, Ranjith wants to show us that Dalits lived a dignified life and that they struggled to sustain and reclaim it."

Ranjith drafted the script after the release of Kaala (2018), describing it as his dream project. However, he halted working on the script after finding it too similar to the KGF film series and rewritten it to avoid such similarities.[17] He then gave the first draft of the script to Tamizh Prabha in early 2022, who admitted the metaphorical elements in the storytelling. Prabha then acquainted various resources to familiarize on the script, which included the documentary novel Living Dangerously by Fanny Emily Penny, and numerous fictional books on Tamil folklore.[16] Besides that, he also visited the Kolar Gold Fields to understand the landscape and the people, where he gathered information from the remaining descendants of those who worked in the gold fields.[16] Azhagiya Periyavan also co-wrote the screenplay with Prabha and Ranjith, as well as writing the dialogues.[18]

G. V. Prakash Kumar was assigned as the film's music composer,[19] dismissing initial reports stated that Anirudh Ravichander would score music for the film.[20] A. Kishor Kumar handled the cinematography, after previously working with Ranjith on Natchathiram Nagargiradhu (2022) and planned to shoot the film in 3D formats, instead of traditional 2D to 3D conversion.[21] Editor Selva R. K., production designer S. S. Moorthy, stunt choreographer Sunner Sam and costume designers Aegan Ekambaram and Anitha Sundaresan were recruited as a part of the technical crew.[22] Sivakumar and Sanjay Rupesh were appointed as the production controller and executive producer, respectively.[22]

Casting

In July 2022, Rashmika Mandanna was signed in to play the female lead role,[23] but was replaced by Malavika Mohanan that October, due to scheduling conflicts.[24] Malavika described her character Aarathi as one of her intense and physically challenging roles; to prepare for the character, she learned Silambam as well as following a stringent diet plan.[25][26] As a part of her preprations for the character, Ranjith made Malavika watch the Viola Davis-starrer The Woman King (2022) "to observe the physicality, power and the effortlessness within the power, of the women in the film".[26] Ranjith took the character's inspiration from a local deity, who was considered to be the protector of the Kolar Gold Fields, which Malavika added "The story that whoever has gone there hasn’t come back because of this witch-like figure was probably meant to scare greedy people off the gold mines."[26]

In October 2022, Pasupathy was cast in a supporting role collaborating with Vikram after Dhool (2003), Arul (2004), Majaa (2005) and 10 Endrathukulla (2015) and Ranjith after Sarpatta Parambarai (2021).[27] The same month, Parvathy Thiruvothu was also cast in the film, pairing opposite Vikram.[28] English actor Daniel Caltagirone was cast as Clement, ex-army officer who visits the gold fields to discover gold.[29] Caltagirone further attributed that his character would be different from other white characters which were portrayed in a stereotypical manner.[30] He added "I spoke to Ranjith, and he explained how these stories are India-centric and the idea was to bring in an English actor to portray a British colonialist. There might have been some great performances by British actors in earlier such films, but what Ranjith has done with my role is something quite different."[31]

Filming

Principal photography commenced for the film on 12 October 2022 in Chennai, with test shoots being conducted and preliminary portions being shot there for three days.[32] The team then moved to Kadapa for a minor schedule which went on for a week.[33] In late-October, the team moved to Madurai, where an action sequence with Malavika and Vikram being shot.[34] After a month-long filming, the team then moved to Hogenakkal Falls in early December for shooting few portions.[35] The same month, Ranjith shoot few sequences at Maldives with Malavika participating.[36] A week later, Vikram and Ranjith began commencing few portions at the Kolar Gold Fields where he interacted with his fans; a video of the same surfaced on social media.[37]

Filming for the second schedule commenced at a film city in Chennai on 5 January 2023,[38] where all the principal character's portions were filmed in this schedule, with the exception of Malavika's, who joined the shoot in February.[39] The month-long schedule ended in mid-February, and subsequently filming for the third schedule began at the Kolar Gold Fields that continued for six weeks.[40][41] Caltagirone started shooting for his portions the same month, with other principal characters.[42] By March 2023, only fifteen days of the shoot were left for the film, with ten days in Chennai and five days in Madurai.[43] The third schedule was completed on 7 April,[44] with the team taking a month-long break as Vikram was attending the promotions of Ponniyin Selvan: II (2023).[45]

The final schedule began on 2 May 2023.[46] During the schedule, Vikram suffered a rib injury while rehearsing for the role, that resulted in the shooting being temporarily halted.[47] He was advised to take a month-long rest for recovery, ultimately delaying the production.[48] Filming resumed on 12 June, with Vikram, Malavika, Parvathy and other supporting cast members participating.[49] Filming wrapped on 5 July, with the completion of the schedule.[50] Reshoots for the film conducted on late December, after Ranjith felt unsatisfied with few portions. Ranjith, in a media interaction, claimed that most of the supporting cast had returned to other projects, except Vikram, who had cooperated for the reshoot.[51] The film was shot within 120 working days.[52]

Post-production

Anthony BJ Ruban, who worked in all of Ranjith's films, handled the sound design.[22] On 21 November, Malavika began dubbing for her portions in the film and was completed within 10 days.[53][54] Vikram completed dubbing for his portions on December.[55] Hybrid360 handled the visual effects, under the supervision of R. Senthil Kumar.[22] Prakash commenced working on the film's background score on mid-April 2024.[56] It was completed on 1 July 2024.[57] The film was sent to Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) on 26 July, where the film was given U/A certificate without any cuts and the final duration of 155 minutes.[58] The final sound mixing works were completed on 13 August, two days before the film's release.[59]

Pre-release events were conducted in Hyderabad, Chennai and Bangalore from 4–6 August.[67] Promotional events for the film was initially intended to commence in Kochi on 1 August,[68] but was cancelled out of respect for the victims of the 2024 Wayanad landslides.[69] Kerala distributor Gokulam Gopalan further added that the expenses for the promotional programs will be given to the Kerala Chief Minister's Distress Relief Fund (CMDRF).[70]

However, the film's release was postponed again.[75] The film was cleared by the censor board with a U/A certificate without any major cuts.[1] The Hindi version of the film was released on 6 September 2024.[76]

Reception

Critical response

Thangalaan received mixed reviews from critics, who praised the lead cast's performance (especially Vikram, Parvathy Thiruvothu, and Daniel Caltagirone), and GV Prakash Kumar's background score, but criticized the historical inaccuracies, visual effects, screenplay and writing.[9]

M Suganth of The Times of India gave 4/5 stars and wrote "The film is a true-blue big-screen experience that immerses us into its world and keeps us glued with arresting visuals and intense drama."[82] Rohit Panikker of Times Now gave 4/5 and wrote "Thangalaan is a well-thought-of and well-produced experience in both visual and cerebral storytelling. What this film has managed to do is prove that magical realism and period dramas can work as well as any mass masala flick as long as the story is delivered with conviction. All in all, a definite theatre watch to feel the full effect of what the film's team has put together."[83] Avinash Ravichandran of The Indian Express gave 3/5 stars and wrote "Some of his [Ranjith] audacious attempts at storytelling in Thangalaan get overburdened by the novelty factor. He isn’t always ably supported by the technicalities of the film that keep us at an arm’s length at times."[84]

Sudhir Srinivasan of The New Indian Express gave 3/5 stars and wrote that although "not sparkly", Thangalaan was gold for its experimental story, clever craft and striking climax.[85] Janani K of India Today gave 2/5 stars and wrote "However, Thangalaan seems to be the weakest work in director Pa Ranjith's filmography. The film's screenplay is too abstract, which might not be everyone's cup of tea.[86] Latha Srinivasan of Hindustan Times wrote "Vikram has outdone himself in this film as Thangalaan and shows us how talented and committed he is, yet again. Whether it the emotional scenes or the action ones, Vikram makes you feel every emotion he goes through."[87]

Future

A sequel was announced on 17 August 2024, which was tentatively titled as Thangalaan 2 with Ranjith returning to the direction and Vikram reprising his role as Thangalaan Muni.[88]
