Ka Pae Ranasingam, based on a true incident, is also about a political bureaucracy that could not care less about a young widow's anguish. The story unfolds in a small village in Tami Nadu's Ramanathapuram district, where Ranasingam is a local activist, adored by his people. He puts their plight before his own or his family's, and when he dies in Dubai, Ariyanchi is forced to trek from one office to another, one city to another to get her husband's body back.
