Cineplex Entertainment has cancelled an Indian Tamil film playing at theatres across Toronto after apparently coordinated attacks with a noxious substance at three of the theatres Friday night. The substance is said to be similar to pepper spray and was released at three separate movie theatres at the same time Friday. This occurred around 7.20 p.m. in Brampton, Mississauga and Scarborough during peak evening viewing. There was also a spray attack at the Scarborough Town Centre theatres on Saturday, April 16, 2016. The film, Theri, was released last month. An Internet synopsis says Theri is “an action film that has a message for society. The film tries to stress the importance of raising our children well and making them responsible citizens of the country. And safety of women is stressed. It is loaded with emotions and action sequences to satisfy all sorts of viewers.” The troubled history of Tamil peoples in Toronto is said to be largely healed but in recent years violent strains of Tamil Tiger activity rocked the city and saw widespread blackmailing of Tamil families and businesses to support the now ended civil war in Sri Lanka. Trailer shown below is very entertaining even for non-speakers of the language.
