Mumbai: ZEE Tamil has announced that it will telecast the TV premiere of "Kavalthurai Ungal Nanban" on 29 August at 5 p.m.

Starring Suresh Ravi, Raveena Ravi, Mime Gopi and RJ Munna, the film based on true events showcases the gruesome custodial deaths that have taken place in the state of Tamil Nadu and the state of police affairs.

The film follows the life of a food delivery agent named Prabhu and his wife Indu who works in an IT company. The story unfolds the life of a young couple in love who eloped and got married and started their life in a friend’s flat. While facing the daily struggles and building their lives together, their hardships seemed never-ending but they still found solace in one another. One day, however, a group of robbers steals Indu’s jewellery at knifepoint and one of them even ends up misbehaving with her. Furious after learning about the incident, Prabhu decides to file a police complaint. From being stopped and questioned about his vehicle’s papers to being beaten up by the police, Prabhu and Indu’s low-key life turns into a chaotic mess.

“The idea of the film is to showcase the ill effects of institutional power. This eye-opening, gripping film is sure to leave the audience at the edge of their seats as they witness the clash of a common man’s frustration and the ego of the police," said the channel in a statement.
