Director SR Prabhakaran, who delivered some superhit Tamil films like Sundarapandian, tries his hand at a web series for the first time and emerges a topper!
The plot, in turn, is so refreshing and the story is so engaging that by the time you are done watching all nine episodes, you are left craving for more.
Sengalam’s plot initially revolves around Sivagnyanam (Sharath Lohistashwa), whose family holds the Chairman’s post in the Virudhu Nagar district administration for over 40 years.
MLA Ganesamoorthy (Vela Ramamoorthy), the ruling party MLA and his supporters are constantly on the lookout for an opportunity to somehow dislodge Rajamanickam.
It is under these circumstances that Rajamanickam, after the death of his first wife, chooses to marry again. He weds Suryakala (Vani Bhojan), the daughter of a rich businessman.
Sengalam is fascinating simply because it does not show women to be just puppets in the hands of men. Instead portrays how they are skilled politicians.
For a debutante, Shali Nivekas is impeccable and impressive as the manipulative strategist and close confidante of one of the central characters in the series.
