Mamannan - A monotonous story that dominated Tamil cinema for over a decade, but still delivered an exceptional performance that was well worth it.

 Vadivel, who is predominantly known for his comedic roles that span decades. However, in this film, he played the role of a father who is a respected MLA in Kasipuram district yet a naive person who lives with the fear of upper caste people. In the movie, he requested that everyone take a seat so that they could speak with equality, but in reality, he stood in front of his district secretary, Rathnavelu, who belongs to upper caste.

Director: Mari Selvaraj
Cast: Udhayanidhi Stalin, Fahad Faasil, Vadivelu, and Keerthi Suresh
Language- Tamil
Genre: - Political/ Action Drama

If you enjoy political drama films, this one is for you. However, in movies ranging from Devar Magan to Karnan, an enormous number of films based on minorities' castes have been produced.


This film features excellent visual representations of communism and caste inequality that relate to the character. For instance, Keerthy Suresh's main goal was to provide free education to the poor, regardless of caste. The majority of the scene shows that Keerthy frequently wears red cloths , such as a red saree for her college's cultural events or T-shirts bearing the slogan "Power to the People."








Aadhiveeran, a martial arts instructor (Udhayanidhi Stalin). He used to keep pigs and cattle in separate cattle and had a tattoo of a pig on his hand, even though everyone believes keeping pigs as pets brings shame to the family. This demonstrates how society avoids and mistreats pigs. similarly, members of the higher caste have controlled the adhiveeran caste He claimed in a scenario that he once had dreams about flying pigs. In a scene from the flashback, we can see a group of children taking a bath in a well at a temple. When upper caste people learn about this, they beat the children to death. When Vadivel seeks help from the party head of ‘Samooga needhi makkal kazhagam.’ He explains to him that this was not the right time to seek revenge against them as they may lose the upcoming election, Obliging him Vadivel decides not to take any action against him. This made conflict between Mamannam and adhiveeran. After a few years When Aadhiveeran and Maamannan meet Rathnavelu one day, Aadhiveeran learns of the injustice being done to his father. This dialogue made a huge applause in theatre ‘unna okkaravechathu ennode arasiyal, unge appave okkare vekkathathu enode adayalam”.After He causes chaos there and bets against him that his father will be winning in the upcoming election. What are the challenges they are gonna face, who’s gonna win this election is this whole story.

The first half is dragging with flashbacks but it was mixed with Mari Selvaraj's original story where his main focus will be injustice happening to minorities people. In the second part the story revolves around the party campaign for the upcoming election who’s gonna win will be the entire plot of the story. A.R. Rahman's song Nenjame Nenjama plays a special role in our hearts.


“Overall it was one neat presentable movie from Mari Selvaraj.”
