All Dalits should watch ‘Palasa 1978’: Tammareddy

Producer Tammareddy Bharadwaj has said that ‘Palasa 1978’ is a film made for Dalits and that they should encourage the well-meaning movie without fail.  

“Our movie has got very good ratings from film critics.  It has opened well at the box-office.  It’s saddening that there is no encouragement from Dalits themselves.  The film talks about their oppression.  We have made it for their betterment.  I am not saying that ‘Palasa 1978’ seeks to demean any community.  All that I want to iterate is that Dalits have to watch the film in theatres because it has been made for them,” Tammareddy said.

Directed by Karuna Kumar, the social-crime drama hit the screens this Friday.
