Mithivedi (Tamil: மிதிவெடி, transl. Minefield) is a 2012 Australian Tamil-language war-drama film starring Daniel Balaji and Neelima Rani. The film is directed and produced by Anand Maiyur Srinivas, an Australian-based finance consultant turned short filmmaker. The film talks about the struggles of a mother who is trying to save her baby after getting stuck in a minefield in Sri Lanka during the civil war.[1] The film released online directly and is the first Tamil film to do so. The film was shot in around five days near Chengalpattu.[2][3][4]
Plot
[edit]The mines planted by both the LTTE and the Sri Lankan army kept the people living near the battleground in constant fear. The film shows the struggles of a mother who is trying to save her baby stuck in a minefield. The film explores themes of survival, human resilience, and the collateral damage of war on civilian lives.[1]
