The voice of the oppressed gets heard in the most hard-hitting fashion in @beemji produced and Mari Selvaraj directed #PariyerumPerumal, which is easily the most accessible and thought provoking film in this space. It moved me to tears. @am_kathir delivers a knockout performance.

#PariyerumPerumal [4/5]: A hard-hitting movie, that emotionally moves u from within.. A movie that stays with u for a long time, even after u leave the theater.. About the injustice of caste discrimination.. Set in Tirunelveli-Tuticorin belt.. Law College Backdrop.. Powerful..

#PariyerumPerumal 4/5. Brilliant. A little gem on the caste cauldron in south TN from Dir @mari_selvaraj, handled it sensitively without being preachy backed by a solid realistic performance by @am_kathir as a Dalit youth ably supported by @anandhiactress, #Shanmugarajan & others

#PariyerumPerumal – The best film I’ve seen so far on oppression in Tamil cinema. An artistic masterpiece from debutant @Mari_selvaraj. @am_kathir and @anandhiactress ‘s career best performance . Kudos @beemji for backing this project.
