Description

According to the director,

the background for “Asani Varsha” is a true

incident that was reported in a local newspaper. “The

actual incident like in the film is the son who was searching

for his father for a long time going to meet him on a one

Vesak day. And the reaction he received there really touched

me and disturbed me very much. Following on the newspaper

article and police reports I collected the full story which

was a real tragedy”. Thus I started to write the

script.

This film indicates the

relationship between a father and his illegitimate son. The

son seeks recognition while the father rejects him as he has

done so since his conception. This type of relationship is

ambivalent and Vasantha says that 60% of our society’s

children can be considered as illegitimate offspring of the

wealthy upper class.

Pradeep a by-product of such

an upper class society is a failure from the word go.

Whatever or which ever he tries to do comes a cropper. Thus

the film that takes on a lone journey of wrath hope of the

hopeless ends when the hopeless loses hope.

This

film is not a message on social evils or morality. It is a

simple story of an unfortunate who had the misfortune to be

born on the wrong side of the blanket.

His birth

itself is the omen of his life. As such there is not a

question of justice or, it is a question of the feelings and

expressions of bitterness and loneliness experienced due to

the action of the very person that society has placed on a

pedestal, A father. The action of a moment’s pleasure

of one human being and the displeasure and disharmony

experienced by another who is indebted to renegade for his

very life, a jealousy static life that ends in a static

stance.
