Have you noticed only white people are giving this movie 5 stars? It's because they are unaware of how dirty the director did all Tamil people. The movie itself is a white washed portrayal of the book. How you may ask? An example, Look at the last line of the movie. Something along the lines of "we are all free slaves now" Nobody was a slave. You can't just try to group minority oppression to make it relatable to sell the movie harder.
