What happens

Kalloori (transl. College) is a 2007 Indian Tamil-language coming-of-age drama film by director Balaji Sakthivel. The film was produced by S. Shankar via S Pictures. The story, based on a college campus, stars Akhil, Tamannaah Bhatia, and Bharani alongside an ensemble cast including Hemalatha, Maya Reddy, Rajeshwari, Sailatha, Prakaash, Kamakshinathan, and Thisaigal Arunkumar. The music was scored by Joshua Sridhar, and lyrics were written by Na. Muthukumar. Kalloori drew inspiration from a real-life incident in which three college girls from the Tamil Nadu Agricultural University were burnt alive in the 2000 Dharmapuri bus burning incident. Released on 7 December 2007, the film became a success and is recognized as a milestone in Bhatia's career. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
