Actor turned director Sidhartha Siva's debut feature '101 chodyangal' is a fine multilayered film that works for its simple, but poignant theme. Also with the genuine performance of its National award winning lead actor Master Minon , the movie stands out for its quality narratives.
Master Minon plays Anil Kumar Bokaro, the fifth standard student who has a jobless father Sivanandan (Murugan) thrown out of his factory ,plagued by ill health and mother Sati(Lena) who does manual labour under Government's Employment Guarantee Scheme to make the ends meet. The little boy is living with his family in an abandoned shop with his sister Anagha (Baby Diya), who is mentally challenged. Anil gets into crisis as his school stops the midday meals due to lack of funds. The officials ask the children who can afford to bring food to do so, as they can even share it with others. Anil manages to bring some on the first day to make an impression but refuses to go to school as he is not given any by his mother, the next day.. The recently arrived Mukundan master, who is also Anil's favorite teacher, convinces him that he can come to school and attend classes. The teacher who compiles cheap General Knowledge books that are sold in trains for some additional income but offers Anil a chance to make money, that is to come up with 101 questions for which he will be given one rupee per question. How this mission to accumulate questions changes the boy and how he starts to look into things around
