Annamalai

Annaamalai, a period drama which will be one of its kind in the Singapore Tamil Media Scene. With suspense and melodramatic effects, this 52-part drama series will bring back 1940’s where the modern day skyscrapers were forests and Kampungs once.
This drama also highlights the plight of our pioneers and their determination to endure challenges. It also gives a perspective of our social, economic and political realities in the early days. All these will set it far apart from regular drama themes.
When we watch this series, we can take a breathe in the storm of the days where our forefathers grabbed a few clothes, took a loan to sail the seas; found jobs in rubber plantations and construction sites, worked on the hard earth; all for the sole purpose of earning a living whilst melting their years and age away.
The characters in the drama depicts the common human motivation such as likes, dislikes, anger, jealousy and betrayal. After watching the drama, we have to conclude that the people of the yesteryears were just like us.
