Pariyerum Perumal might just be the best Tamil movie of this decade and one the best movies of this year. Haven't seen anyone portraying the caste problems in South India with this much reality and grittiness. Mari Selvaraj had crafted a near perfect movie with daring dialogues and realistic characters. There is an anime movie "perfect blue", in which the colour red has been used to convey strong emotions. After that movie, pariyerum Perumal is the only movie which used a colour (blue) to create emotions. Santhosh Narayanan has done a phenomenal job with the RR and songs. Cinematographer has done a great work showing how villages look in real. Not the lush green fields, clean roads and pure water which the other glossy movies show. Kadhir's best movie till date and might be his best even after he acts in several films. Anandhi's character might seem cliched, but as time goes on we get to know how much good that character realisation is. One of the best antagonists ever. Kadhir's dad character needs no mention. Yogi Babu's best after aandavan kattalai. Principal's character and all the teachers. It's hard to remember these much characters who don't have much screen time , but this movie makes us remember them. Lots of deep metaphors inside. And the screenplay deserves special mention. The film perfectly flows. A clean 10/10.
