Awashethi Murgan Review: How is the experience of innovative and stressful ‘content’?

Caste discrimination is rife in Thekkupatti village of Ramanathapuram district. Murkaswamy (Arul Nithi) from Melet Street and Bhoominathan (Sandosh Pratap) from an oppressed community are lifelong friends. Murkaswamy opposes his own caste by supporting Bhumi Nathan who is fighting to free his people from caste discrimination. As such, Muniyaraj (Rajasimman), who has been stripped of his position as the district secretary of the town, plans to kill Bhoominathan for political gain. Did his plan come true? How Murkan became a victim in this is the screenplay.

Kalvethi Murkan depicts various things including two different communities, the caste discrimination between them, the ups and downs in two sections of the same society, the oppressed communities who progress by using the opportunities around them. Stands apart from other conventional village tales. In particular, the need for other communities to stand on the side of the oppressed people, and how selfishness can sacrifice one’s own caste, adds intensity.
