‘Uriyadi’ director Vijay Kumar receives appreciation from Wroclaw University, Poland

The latest to join the admirers’ list of director Vijay Kumar’s gripping political drama Uriyadi is none other than the students of Institute of Political Science from Wroclaw University, Poland. They have sent an official letter praising the movie and the efforts of Vijay Kumar.

Dear Mr. Vijay Kumar, 

On behalf of the students and employees of the Institute of Political Science, we would like to express our gratitude to you for all you have done for our students. They had the opportunity to participate in a film screening that broadened their horizons and opened up to other political experiences. Those attending the show was impressed by difficult subject, realism, and intensity of the movie, as well as by unusual, untypical way of its narration. Before the film screening, Mr. Bartosz Czamotta gave a lecture on the Tamil Film Industry and the history and culture of Tamilnadu. Mr. Czamotta made his speech summed up as follows: Students and lecturers asked several questions about the caste system, its depictions in movies, and its possible political consequences. They raised interesting questions and made fresh observations about the way of creating political influence, as depicted in Uriyadi. There were also some questions about social reformers, such as Periyar, and how they influenced the socio-political landscape of Tamilnadu, The audience was interested in the education system in India and its comparison with the Polish one. And there were even questions about dormitories in India. The audience was pretty impressed by the fact that producer is so young and they expressed the desire to watch more movies like Uriyadi in future. We believe that lectures combined with film projection can be an interesting way to teach about politics and decision making in different countries. Thank you for allowing students to watch your movie Uriyadi.
