Varnam

Varnam presents a compelling narrative centered on a seventeen-year-old named Mani. The film addresses complex social issues as Mani navigates the challenges of privilege and prejudice in his environment, particularly through the exploitation of lower caste farmers by his uncle, Durai.

The film features a strong cast, including Giridharan, Monica, Sampath Raj, Aathish, Aswatha, and Vijay Sethupathi. Their performances add depth to the exploration of Mani's inner turmoil and the violent consequences of his actions. Raju S. M. directs this thought-provoking drama, making it a notable entry in Tamil cinema from 2011.
