Wiki.
Munnel (transl. Sand/Soil) (Tamil: மணல்) is a 2023 Sri Lankan Tamil language drama film written, directed and produced by Visakesa Chandrasekaram. The film was screened at the International Film Festival Rotterdam and opened to positive reviews from critics. The film had its theatrical release in Sri Lanka on 3 November 2023. This is also regarded as potentially the first Sri Lankan fully fledged home-grown local Tamil film in the history of Sri Lankan cinema, as most of the crew members who were on board had been native Sri Lankans.
The film revolves around a former rebel who was accused of having close links with the LTTE members and he eventually returns home after being released on bail from the military detention. He goes in search of his missing girlfriend and the fate of the rebel was yet to be revealed by his soothsaying mother.
