Takes the Hero's Journey and the cliche underdog storyline seen many times before, but delivers it with a fresh execution, Pa Ranjith treatment of caste and social issues, period (70s) effects and political commentary. Despite the 3 hour running time, it is a great watch due to the script, the performances, cinematography, and a soundtrack to Die Iconic!
Comparisons with Toofan are natural (two 🥊movies on same OTT platform in a week) but Sarpatta Parambarai towers over Toofan like a Main-board boxer over a sidekick 💪
