New kinda film for tamil cinema , this was never spoken so openly by anyone before which exists everywhere . that content may be a political thing but the way it was told was purely art related as a movie also it stands tall

Something we don't notice in our daily civil life, something we get to see only if the situation arises or if you live in a caste infested area. Amazing how this movie brings it out in the open, compel us to think and also keeps us engaged throughout. The story is not complex, yet it brings you to the edge of your seat at moments. It is filled with symbolism, especially a scene where it symbolizes that casteism commits suicide. Beautiful. It doesn't show oppression solely by creating sympathy and showing the oppressed class getting further and further oppressed unlike in some movies. You feel for the hero, you're with him and cheer for him. Overall, it's an important part of movie history about casteism.

A must watch movie for all. Go and watch with your families.Lets the change begins with our generation atleast.

I don't want to be spoiler by saying the whole story. Pariyerum perumal is not a film. It's a life. This is a film about a castism. But this is not a film only about castism. The film explores our daily life of rural people who are crushed by a higher class people. This film explains whatever the rural people do for there development they can't reach their destination in this society. First of all hatsoff to the director MARISELVARAJ for given this wonderful art. This film make the audience to journey with a whole characters in this film. The film turned in to good film only by good written work, good cinematography, good music and all the good technical aspects. And this film deserved all this things. And again i don't want speak more about this film. This is the milestone film of tamil cinema. so the audience must suppport this type of films instead of dumb commercial films.

A simple, engaging story with heavy content. Big kudos to the team Mari Selvaraj, Santhosh Narayanan, Pa. Ranjith , Kathir, Anandhi, Yogi Babu for giving this gem. Please do watch it in theatres.

This is one of the best Tamil movies in recent times, and is worth every praise that's coming its way.

I watched this movie with no idea of what it was about or what to expect. Right from the first frame, the movie looked different, and by the time the first song played out, I was rubbing my hands in anticipation of something out of the ordinary. This movie grabs you by the scruff of your neck, shakes you out of your slumber, and keeps you rooting for the protagonist throughout the run-time. Your soul cries when he is hurt. Your mind gets angry when he is angry. And then, your heart aches when he bears all the torment single handedly, before his spirit gives him enough courage to stand up and fight for what is rightfully his.

The fact that there is a very strong message of how casteism maims and kills humanity - literally and in spirit - is brought out inherently, and yet very strongly.

Pariyerum Perumal also straddles the line dividing art-house and mainstream cinema without resorting to any formulaic solutions. Direction is top notch, as is the screenplay and editing. The songs are out of the ordinary, and downright wacky at times! It adds to what is already a good movie, making it even better. Art direction and cinematography is again beautiful and brings out the drama on screen very effectively. The production team has used colors and symbolism to match the story intrinsically. The role of Karuppi, the dog, as the flesh-and-spirit companion and metaphor for the hero is commendable.

Kathir, as the protagonist, has done a stellar job and is well supported by all the other actors. Marimuthu, Lijeesh, Karate Venkatesan, Anthony Dasan, and others have all played their roles very well, and Yogi Babu adds a comic touch to the proceedings without the comedy track being any way detrimental to the story-telling.

The one possible sore point to bring out is the portrayal of the female lead as someone who is very sweet and innocent and is kept completely isolated from all the raging violence and caste oppression. However, that portrayal forms the very basis of the story-line and gels well in the story. In her own way, the heroine is true to her heart and stands up for her beliefs without fear of ostracization or retribution, albeit in innocence. Also, without giving away too much in terms of a spoiler, the Director does not paint every character from the upper caste as being inhumane.

This movie is as much about oppression as it is about optimism. Add this movie in your watch-list as a must-see.

Master piece movie of the year Really liked the movie One of the best film in Indian cinema about caste system and stuff, every Indian must watch this film, hats off to the director. Pride of Tamil cinema.

Respect from Kerala. Watched this after 96 & Ratsasan. This one has made a wound in my heart. A deep & intense story.Making has reached another level.

Painfull life story of dalit people All indians should must watch this movie

Way to go mari selvaraj!!also kathir...aanandhi ..played their role best!!!even the role by yogi babu was awesome...what a heart warming movie!!!gonna be one of the must watch milestones in tamil film industry!!!

The hero is a law student who belongs to a lower caste. He befriends the heroine who belongs to a higher caste n all hell breaks loose. #PariyerumPerumal has some brilliantly executed scenes, 1-when the heros dog is brutally killed, 2-when a higher caste man pisses on the unsuspecting hero, 3-when the heros father is disrobed. These scenes will stay with u long after u exit the theater. Kudos to actor #kathir n director #mariselvaraj for creating such a masterpiece. Do watch it. Rating 3.5/5.

Though the topics discussed are important to the society, the movie itself falls extremely short. The movie felt disjointed, overly stretched with a song every 5 minutes.

There's a parallel track about a serial killer which again made no sense. The acting was also very average. And what was the point about the dog ?

The protagonist is shown as loving the dog beyond limits, but at the end mentions the dog as a low lying creature ?

Its hard to describe the feelings I've after watching the movie. Only one issue I've with the film, it didn't get the appreciation it deserves. This is the kind of movies I would love to go to the theatre to watch. Watching from home in Amazon Prime wasn't bad either. Just that, I wanted to spend for this movie.(That is coming from somebody who has watched only 1 movie in a theatre in the last year)

We need to watch these kind of movie in theater so these movies will be evaluated and gain more profit. Such a great performance by all actor but little more credit goes to Director. Santhose Narayanan your ecstasy music made me mesmerized Lastly thanks Ranjith for producing, even it is not produced now someone in tamilnadu would have done coz we r little knowledgable

Excellent Movie. Kathir and everybody acted very well in the movie. Yogi Babu's comedy in the movie was also excellent. Songs and BGM in the movie was also so good. The movie had no boring scene. Some scenes are so sad. The movie has an excellent message. One of the best movie of 2018.

Pariyerum Perumal, by the young filmmaker Mari Selvaraj, is one of the best Tamil films about caste discrimination and the suffering of the oppressed. This is highlighted because it is not a preaching and the filmmaker did not trust the message in his face. Mari Selvaraj has visibly described the cruel practice that exists in society and has let the public make the final decision. The film begins with a group of young people from the oppressed community who move around a pond in the village after another gang of the upper caste has approached the same place. A member of the oppressed community said that they should fight hard against the opposite side, but his friend said that nothing would change until they stop working under the superior caste. Then, we witness the brutal murder of Karuppi (dog) Pariyerum Perumal (Kathir), who belongs to the lower caste. Later, we learned that the director Mari Selvaraj establishes an analogy between Karuppu and Pariyerum Perumal. If Kathir's character has been represented as the face of all the youngsters from the oppressed community, there is an old man who executes honor killings as suicides and deaths, he has been portrayed as the face of the heartless animals in the society. Kathir has given his heart and soul to the film, some of the scenes where he gets beat up look very real. There are scenes where Kathir addresses important topics on oppression but it doesn't sound preachy mainly because of his realistic performance and solid writing of Mari Selvaraj. Anandhi looks pretty and homely as a small town girl, there is a brilliant emotional scene in the pre-climax where she scores extremely well as a solid performer. The old man who comes as the pride upper caste guy who converts honor killings as murders and suicides is menacing and create shivering moments. There are many shock values in Pariyerum Perumal, the death of the dog, the scene where Kathir gets beaten up and the revelation of his dad.

Simple storyline, powerful filmography with down to earth realism. A Milestone in Tamil film industry. Must watch.

The struggle of a college student, who tries to bud to life but forced to hide his scars and love as well. Kathir has portrayed his role up to the notch. You only see pariyerum perumal in the screen. Yogi Babu nails his role. Anandhi has done her job perfectly. The metaphors and comedy gels with the screenplay, never stands alone.

The references to Karuppi stirs your soul from the deep. Dialogue and cinematography plays a pivotal role in the film. The climax is bittersweetness at it's best. If you watch this movie at night, it will surely keep you awake for hours after the movie had ended. Hoping to see more movies from Mari Selvaraj.

This is one of my favorite movies ever. It's well written, well directed and the actors did complete justice to their roles. Pariyerum Perumal is one of the few Indian movies which actually deserves the rating it got. Doesn't matter how progressed we are, we can't escape from our past that easy. Casteism is a cancer we just can't get rid of. And it addresses transphobia as well. I recommend this for everyone.

Headlines in newspapers about honor killings were just words to me and so as to many, after watching this movie everyone could feel the real pain and struggle to live a life which each person deserves to live, though rich or poor. Kathir has done his character a great justice. Direction, Story, Screenplay, cinematography, music altogether an awesome package to create an awareness about humanity.

10/10, 9/10, 10/10, Best movie of the century, Seriously?

Dear Indians, dear friends, I know, you are proud and you love your country and everything that is produced in India, everything with Indians in it. Fair enough.

But please, come on. You are telling me this movie is at the same level as Pulp Fiction, Schindlers Liste, the Godfather or Lord of the Rings?

Please, please, please try to be a littttllleee bit more objective.

Pariyerum Perumal is one of the best movie made in Tamil. It depicts the truth about how the lower caste people suffer from the higher castes in every aspect of their life.

Perumal acting is naturals, and his was scandalous scene more emotional silent hat's off team

Pariyerum Perumal (2018) : Brief Review -

Tamil Cinema is BLESSED to have such a Socially Powerful Classic film. I remember watching Nagraj Manjule's "Fandry" for throwing a stone at many issues of the society and then "Sairat" for stunning classification of Honour Killing and Casteism. The reason i mentioned these two films is that i have not seen many filmmakers trying to make such cinema in all realiatic manners to showcase brutal reality from lower areas and try to stop it somehow by sending a tight slap through cinematic medium. Finally my wait seems to be ended with Pariyerum Perumal and if i can say so then this is an Intermediate version of those two films yet finding complete originality and credibility of it's own storyline. The film has a heartbreaking and disturbing concept causing anxiety towards how lower cast people bear so much humiliation and torture afterall. A law student from a lower caste begins a friendship with his classmate, a girl who belongs to a higher caste, and the men in her family start giving him trouble over this. This might seem highly repetitive concept but wait.. you have different problems, different conflicts, different issues and different society here to deal with so please try finding something new in it because it is there only somewhere hidden in small small nuances. I literally broke down while watching couple of scenes and some scenes made me jump out from my seat. I mean, it was so connective subject to any common man unless you belong to those evil tribe of inhuman creatures. Acting, writing, cinematography, dialogues, background score, lyrics, direction and overall presentation everything is top class here. I have no complaints to make except for the predictable positive climax being too generous. I think there could have been something stunning, sensational and mind shattering in the final scene which might have left our brain thinking over it for sometime. Rest, it's a Top Quality Classic from Tamil Cinema, yes the same industry who make cheap films in mainstream orientation.

RATING - 8/10*
