Pariyerum Perumal

DramaRomance155 min

Pariyan, a law student from a lower caste, strikes up a friendship with his classmate Jothi, and her higher-caste family treats that bond as a line he should never cross. Kathir is Pariyan, moving through lectures, friendships, and mounting harassment as hostility follows him beyond the classroom. Anandhi’s Jothi brings an open, affectionate presence to a relationship that others around her quickly turn into a source of suspicion and threat. As pressure from the men in her family grows, the film tracks how caste prejudice reshapes ordinary college life into something precarious.
