Periyarum perumal should automatically go up the list for watch along.. be ready to be scarred :)

Divya

Im 100% with you on this Josiah! Yes u should re-watch Korbin

Josiah Mahendran

I feel like you should both, especially Rick, rewatch "Karnan" as I remembered Rick not overall liking it and Korbin enjoying it while having some issues with the film artistically. Would be interesting to see if you guys have the same opinion of the film from then 😅

Josiah Mahendran

The next watchalong should be his directorial debut film Pariyerum Perumal!!

I watched the film today and went straight to rewatch it again with you guys. What a film!!! Great watch along, thank you for this!

That one shot in the Oru Oorula Raja song where the boys are carrying the banana loads on their heads while in class... what a powerful portrayal of what privilege is.

Really enjoyed the watch along, and as others have said, yes it is autobiographical. It is tragic as the story by itself is, knowing that it is autobiographical and imagining the sheer strength and courage it took from Mari to make this movie just left me speechless. It took me a good few days to kind of get my head out of the movie. It made me reflect on Mari's other movies and I learned from his interviews that all his movies draw some inspiration from something that he dealt with in his life. As someone else said, this movie is an answer to people who kept asking why Mari always takes movies about caste or socioeconomic oppression. This is an answer to who is Mari Selvaraj. Next one I would recommend is Pariyerum Perumal, which was his debut. I also agree that it probably wouldn't work for the Oscars for similar reasons you guys mentioned, but it really doesn't matter. The importance of this movie and story is already cemented. Nominations and awards are secondary.

I really appreciate watching this together! As someone else mentioned, I wont look at a banana from a grocery store in the same way again.

Thank you for watching and praising this movie !! :) <3

Yes, it is straight out of Mari's ( Director's) life events, and the main lead kid of the film is himself. Also, except for 10 or 11 artists in the movie, all are Mari's relatives or those living in that village. Realizing that Mari, the movie's director and the main kid in the film, grew up to take films with such a strong voice is inspiring. How hard it would have been for the director to write such a script and how courageous he was to do so. The trauma is enormous to overcome. It is not only inspiring but also painful to think how many people's/ children's stories of hardships and their talents are unheard of or wasted because of such norms in society for blue-collar workers. The mere thought of how an owner's decision could directly affect the worker's kids or the next generation haunts me whenever I think about this movie.

Can you watch Munjya as we didn't get a Hindi comedy horror film yet?

Adithya Krishnamoorthy

Yes.. as Many said , This is the original story of the director Mari selvaraj.. His own sister and cousin died in that lorry accident.. The teacher story happened with Mari and his teacher and he calls her one of his Angels in life. Not just this Pariyerum perumal was also the story of Mari

Divya

Well put 😇❤️

Yes it’s Mari’s story. The lead boy is Mari’s character! The story is just one year of his lifetime. This movie is an answer to those who often complain about tamil cinema making movies about oppressed ones all the time. The reason is that the makers had been through Vaazhai kind of experience… loved this watch along 😍

Sweta

Wow 🤩 looking forward to watch this with you guys…

FilmFreak

Just remembering the day watching this one in theatre. And it received all cheers & celebrations from audience, nothing lesser to that of any mass hero movie… ❤️

Priya

I wasnt expecting this watch along so quick... Korbin you are the man of the day/weekend😅

Laila

One of my favourite films of the year! Excited to rewatch with you all😊

Laila

Korbin there have been no hindi watchalongs since so long. Hope you watch "HUMPTY SHARMA KI DULHANIA" and "BADRINATH KI DULHANIA" next ❤ Both of these movies are definitely worth not missing !!

FilmFreak

What is Vasaahai😀

Api

Amazing choice 😍 can’t wait to watch with you both !

Divya

Korbin it is based out of real life story that happened to Mari, he has also done the same job with his family.. And those 2 boys who acted actually do that job of banana lugging...also that kid who played the friend' role was the one who played the younger version of Dhanush in Raayan 🤩
