Angammal is a 2024 Indian Tamil-language drama film directed by Vipin Radhakrishnan and starring Geetha Kailasam in the titular role alongside Saran Shakthi, Thendral Raghunathan and Bharani.
The film was released on 19 October 2024 at MAMI.
Angammal refuses to wear the blouse of her sari when her newly returned doctor son, Pavalam, returns to the village to marry Sharada.[2]
The film was in making for two years and was shot in Padmaneri village near Tirunelveli.[3]
Tanushree Ghosh of Moneycontrol wrote, "The film Angammal doesn’t give easy answers, leaving the audience with questions and aptly casts Geetha Kailasam, who carries the story/film on her broad shoulders and majestic body language, so much so that even the commercial bits don’t take away from the essence of Murugan’s story".[4] A critic from The Indian Express rated the film 4/5 stars and wrote, "Vipin Radhakrishnan’s brilliance shines in the minimalist yet sharp way he has constructed the film’s environment, particularly since the story is set in a bygone era and that too in a remote village".[5]
