Synopsis
Ore Oru Gramathiley is a 1987 Indian Tamil-language film directed by K. Jyothi Pandian and starring Lakshmi alongside Nizhalgal Ravi.
The movie is based on Vaali's play Gandhi Gramam and centers around Gayathri, a Brahmin girl whose father strongly desires for her to become an IAS officer following his deceased wife's wish.
Gayathri faces challenges due to the impact of caste-based reservations and her Brahmin status, which denies her reservation benefits. Seeking advice from the Tahsildar adds another layer to this story.
The film initially sparked controversy for its critical portrayal of caste-based reservations but underwent modifications before receiving clearance from the Supreme Court of India.
Ore Oru Gramathiley went on to win the National Film Award for Best Film on Other Social Issues, with changes in the climax helping to clear it for release.
