Movie Review : Parari
The story revolves around two factions of a village, who share a common area outside the village. One faction who feels superior to the other, led by Jayakumar( Premnath), is bent on causing trouble for the other side, led by Maaran ( Harishankar).
Men and women from both sides go to work at a juice factory near Bengaluru where they are subject to language politics by local goons who beat them up because they are outsiders.
Tbings take a terribme turn during a grusome attack on the Tamil workers , when Maaran and his lady love Devaki ( Sangeetha Kalyan) are stripped and tortured by the goons led by Samrat Suresh ( Samrat).
What happens next? Do Jayakumar and Maaran give up their infighting? Is Samrat arrested? Does true love succeed?
The film has excellent and realistic performances by the lead pair and the rest of the cast. The climax scene is both gripping and traumatic to watch.
The film is partly in Kannada but has Tamil subtitles. The village life and accompanying problems of caste wars are well brought out.
The film seems to have a clear message one of unity in diversity and drives home the point quite clearly, though accompanied by gore and stripping sequences that may make you avert your eyes.
The importance of social harmony and it role in mental health is underlined quite well.
Raw, rustic, with powerful performances, Parari deals with an unusual subject, handled with a racy screenplay, that make it a sound watch. However, the blood and gore and the climax scenes are not for the faint -hearted.
Rating 3 / 5
