Manusangada is streaming on Netflix.įrom the MGR-era where the lead character in a movie usually belonged to the upper caste and was seen discussing caste-based issues to the recent Article 15, where a Savarna officer saves Dalits, several films have shown upper-caste protagonists as saviours, who uplift the lives of the oppressed. Every step of the way, he is met with humiliation because of the caste-ridden system.īy basing the story on the struggles faced by a protagonist who wants to give his father a proper burial, the film mirrors the harsh ground realities of how caste-based discrimination deprives people of their right to bury or cremate their kin with dignity. In an attempt to find a way to bury his father with dignity, he reaches out to the local police station, the Revenue Division office, and subsequently the Madras High Court. Moments later, we find Kolappan taking charge and dealing with the practicalities of his father’s demise, avoiding any display of emotion. He holds it together till he breaks down under the shower, in private. The movie opens with Nelson Mandela’s quote: “To deny people their human rights is to challenge their very humanity.” In the film, Kolappan (Rajeev Anand) wakes up to the news of his father’s demise. In the critically acclaimed Tamil movie Manusangada that premiered at the 19th Jio MAMI Mumbai Film Festival, director Amshan Kumar challenges this very notion by underlining how that’s not quite the case. Many songs, poems and films have spoken about the insignificance and temporary nature of money and titles, since people cannot take these things with them when they die. Peraanmai is streaming on MX Player.ĭeath is a leveler, or so we have been told. The NCC cadres training under him, who are women hailing from privileged backgrounds, as well as his superior do not miss out on an opportunity to pass condescending comments or taunt him.Īs the film progresses, it turns into a riveting adventure flick when Dhruvan, along with the women cadets he trains are caught in the midst of a forest range and face the seemingly impossible task of stopping a group of foreigners, who are on a mission to sabotage a rocket launch programme undertaken by the Indian government. Dhruvan (Jayam Ravi), who trains NCC cadets in an academy, is constantly under scrutiny because of getting admission through reservation. Offering a different perspective, the late director Jananathan’s Peraanmai features an Adivasi forest guard, coming from a Scheduled Tribe, as the protagonist. The argument is often centered around merit and is presented from the point of view of people from the dominant caste groups who believe that they are missing out on opportunities despite being equally or better qualified. Ore Oru Gramathiley, Gentleman, and a number of Tamil films have taken an anti-reservation (reservation for marginalised groups when it comes to jobs and in educational institutions) stand. Karnan is streaming on Amazon Prime Video too. Much like his directorial debut, Mari Selvaraj’s second film Karnan, starring Dhanush in the lead, also garnered critical acclaim for its hard-hitting portrayal of caste. Pariyerum Perumal is available to watch on Amazon Prime Video. As the plot progresses, we get closer and a more disturbing picture of caste divide and inequality, especially when Pariyan is at the receiving end of gut-wrenching violence after he falls in love with Jo (Anandhi), an upper-caste woman. In the film, Pariyan, an aspiring lawyer, does not shy away from asking tough questions about power politics and socio-economic hierarchies. The last scene of Pariyerum Perumal is arguably one of the most intriguing closing shots in Tamil cinema. Throughout the film, we find Mari Selvaraj weaving in dark metaphors through brief shots that ironically help us see the larger picture. Before the director takes us closer to the central theme of the film, Karuppi, the beloved dog dies. Pariyerum Perumal opens with visuals displaying the bond between the protagonist Pariyerum Perumal (Kathir) and his dog Karuppi. Five minutes into the film, director Mari Selvaraj presents a clear picture of what’s coming the viewer's way.
