PUYAL

Synopsis

Puyal revisits the haunting memories of the devastating 1964 cyclone that swallowed the once-vibrant coastal town of Dhanushkodi. In a single night, homes were destroyed, families were torn apart, and an entire town was reduced to sand, silence, and ruins. Through the intimate accounts of survivors, the film retraces that fateful night, the fear, loss, and struggle for survival. Their fragmented memories reveal not only the destruction caused by the cyclone but also the emotional scars that continue to live with those who witnessed it. Today, Dhanushkodi stands as a haunting reminder of what was lost. Puyal brings the forgotten voices of its people back to life, preserving the memory of a town that vanished beneath the waves but whose stories still echo through the sands.
