Sivapathikaaram - A cleaning powder that actually tries to clean.

Sivapathikaaram is another film which throws light on india's political system.It is another film that tries to educate the public about our dirty political system.

Sathyamurthi (Vishal) is a student of lexicon college madurai.His dad is a watchman in the same college. As expected sathya is the best student of the college, as rightly said by him the taste of education is more delicious for the underprivileged who have never got a chance to study( hope our Reservations Neta and HRD minister Arjun Singh is listening to it).sathya's professor is Prof Elango(Raghuvaran), he is an ex collector and currently his passion to clean up the society and educate the students as to what is correct and wrong drove him to take up teaching.sathya's department undertakes a project of conducting a opinion poll for a by election , which pits them against the losing candidate.The losing candidate tries to implicate the college in a false case and as a result of the violent clash between police and students , 40 innocent students and college staff get killed in a fire accident ( masterminded by the losing politician ). One amongst the dead is sathy'a father.How sathya avenges his father's death forms the climax.

The story is similar to the one's which have actually come in the past 2-3 years.what makes the difference is the question which the director asks the audience.To become a doctor MBBS is necessary , to become a lawyer BL is necessary but for becoming a MLA being 25 years is sufficient. Is it high time that we need some basic qualifications for contesting polls too ?
