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 JananathanвЂ™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 SelvarajвЂ™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 whatвЂ™s coming the viewer's way.
