In a village in Tiruvannamalai district, one section, which calls itself the dominant caste, oppresses the other section on caste grounds. Both sections, who rely solely on wage labor, go to a factory in Karnataka for work when there is no work in their hometown. What are the problems that both sections face there because they are Tamils?, ‘Barari’ is a story that makes some people who live in the dominant mindset of “I am big, you are lowly” think.
Harishankar, who plays the hero, has proven that he is the right choice for the role not only in appearance but also in acting. Harishankar, who plays an innocent village youth, does not like conflicts and has his own job, but his performance in the climax scene where he shows aggression against the injustice done to a woman from his village, and in the climax scene, remains in the minds of the people.
Sangeetha Kalyan, who plays the heroine, has been a great strength of the film with her simple face and strong performance.
All the actors who have played the villains, including Pukhal Mahendran, Premnath.V, Samrat Suresh, Guru Rajendran, Raju, Premnath, even though they are new, have lived as characters through experienced performances.
The songs and background music composed by Shawn Roldan have traveled as characters in the film.
Cinematographer Sridhar has filmed the lives of ordinary people very realistically and has increased the quality of the film many times over with his camera.
Sam.RTX’s editing, sound design, art direction, and selection of actors and actresses have all conveyed a life story to the audience without any adulteration.
Debutant director Ezhil Periyavesdy, who has written and directed the film, has boldly exposed the political background to the caste-based inequalities among the people and has given a whip to those who seek profit from it.
The director, who has forcefully recorded the atrocities committed on the basis of caste, religion, and language across India, whether it is discrimination based on caste in the locality or discrimination based on ethnicity in the state, makes the hearts of the entire audience heavy in the climax scene.
Although the film’s flaw is that some of the caste-based issues shown in the first half of the film seem to be imposed, the second half forgets those flaws and makes us think about the politics behind the caste-based issues.
