Ceylon, titled Inam in Tamil,[1] is a 2013 Indian war film written, directed, filmed and produced by Santosh Sivan. The story revolves around a group of teenagers in an orphanage set during the civil war in Sri Lanka. The film premiered at the 2013 Busan International Film Festival[2] and had a theatrical release in India on 28 March 2014.[3] Although it was positively reviewed by critics, the film was withdrawn by Linguswamy(who bought the distribution rights for the film) from theaters, after it was met with protests from various Tamil groups in Tamil Nadu.[4] The film was a "U" censored, and had a Govt Tax free tag.
