Sorgavaasal is a Tamil-language prison drama inspired by the 1999 Madras Central Prison riots. The film follows Parthiban “Parthi,” a man wrongfully accused of murdering an IAS officer. As he navigates the harsh realities of prison life, he encounters various inmates, including the notorious gangster Sigamani “Siga” and the reformed Kendrick, who has embraced spirituality. The narrative delves into systemic corruption, the struggle for justice, and the impact of incarceration on individuals, questioning whether prisons truly reform people or further entrench criminal behavior.
