Exactly 32 years ago, the Shawshank Redemption was released in the US, and it was a theatrical flop, recovering just $16 million in its first run.
But like Andy Dufresne, the film came back. Word of mouth made sure it dominated the video rental market, its re-release made $73 million dollars and it is still gets huge audiences. Today, it is regarded as a classic, the highest rated film on IMDB and preserved in the Library of Congress as a film of cultural significance.
“Remember, Red, hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things, and no good thing ever dies.”
Periyar on Arignar Anna
"Cheras, Cholas, Pandyas, Nayakars, Mohammedan, British, and many others have ruled India, but Anna was the only one to set up a rational government in India with no discrimination in the name of God, caste & sastra.
This is an exemplary achievement, not so simple as we think. Many benefitted by this don’t understand the significance of it whereas the enemies whom we are fighting with clearly understand the significance.
What Buddha could not bring into practice , what I couldn't achieve he has made them possible . We were just speaking to bring awareness but ANNA WAS THE ONLY ONE WHO ACCOMPLISHED IT AND IMPLEMENTED IT."

It's funny to see some half-baked politicians who have “Tamizhagam” in their party name comparing themselves to The OG "Arignar Anna"
the Man who boldly said in the Indian Parliament in 1962 ,
“I’m from Tamil Nadu, A country Which is a Part of india now .” 🐐💥
Glad he compared himself to MGR and NTR, and not Kalaignar. At least he knows his limits. 1000 jenmam eduthu vandhalum you can never be kalaignar da controli.
@ndtv@rahulkanwal Almost 600 people dead, over 2000 missing. Entire villages swept away in this apocalyptic deluge. It's expected the number could double or triple in the coming days. Close to $1.5 billion worth of infra damage. And this is the news you came up with?
FIRE YOUR EDITOR-IN-CHIEF.
No Airport. No new Industries. No new Cricket Ground and now Mega Sports City project scrapped.
If I remember, DMK fought tooth and nail to recover this 100 acre land from Jeppiar group and wanted to build a mega sports city.
And now our Current Finance Minister is son in law of Jeppiar Group.
Connect the dots. The CM is just dumb and all the people with vested interests surrounding the CM are fuelling the ego and narcissism inside of him and literally working everyday against the development of TN.
