Synopsis
Indira is a 1995 Indian Tamil-language drama film directed by Suhasini Maniratnam and co-written by her.
The film features Arvind Swamy and Anu Hasan in the title roles, alongside Radharavi, Nassar, and Ashwini.
A.R. Rahman composed the film's score and soundtrack, while Santosh Sivan handled the cinematography.
The movie revolves around a group of villagers from Maranur, India, who clash with their neighbouring village leader as their community begins to prosper.
As money and greed threaten peaceful coexistence, the film explores the role of the caste system and the younger generation's struggle to overcome it.
The title role – Indira – was offered to Anuradha, daughter of producer Chandrahasan, who noted that the subject was heavy for a newcomer but was moved by the storyline.
