    injustice by communist - 1980 Kerala,india

    "Rebel" is a powerful Tamil movie that sheds light on the harsh realities of discrimination faced by Tamil estate workers at the hands of Malayali plantation owners. Inspired by true events, the film delves deep into the complex dynamics of caste and class prejudice that plague Indian society.

    Set against the backdrop of a university, the film follows the journey of a Tamil student who becomes a victim of relentless bullying and discrimination due to his ethnicity. The systematic marginalization and mistreatment he faces from his Malayali peers highlight the deeply entrenched biases that exist within the caste system.

    The movie skillfully portrays the struggles and challenges faced by the Tamil community, who are often relegated to the lowest rungs of society. It brings to light the stark contrast between the privileged position of the Malayali elite and the oppression faced by the Tamil laborers.

    What sets "Rebel" apart is its unflinching portrayal of the harsh realities faced by marginalized communities. It doesn't shy away from addressing uncomfortable truths and forces viewers to confront the pervasive nature of caste discrimination in India.

    The film is driven by powerful performances from its cast, who effectively convey the pain, frustration, and resilience of their characters. The director's sensitive handling of the subject matter adds depth and authenticity to the narrative, making it a compelling and thought-provoking watch.

    "Rebel" is not just a movie; it's a poignant commentary on social inequality and injustice. It serves as a reminder of the urgent need for change and highlights the importance of standing up against discrimination in all its forms.

    Absurd bloated disgusting movie

    What kind of fool will write and direct such a movie...please show some conscience to not generalize your story as it may cause hatred especially in this new generation era..it will only spread hatred between Tamil and kerala people..Your story telling is too narrow and biased .Such substandard stories and films are a waste of time and money ..your sheer brilliance of absurbity is evident in each frame...Dare to take such endeavour not from your hallucinations but from a neat perspective, that which won't hurt the sentiments of the masses..deliver it in a general way and not biased .. This area won't suit you brother and you deserve more flop movies if you have such kinda evil mindset...utter waste movie ,obliged to be in waste bin.

    Wonderful Movie which shows how Tamils are I'll treated in kerala

    Such movies should be encouraged and people from tamilnadu must unite to fight against such injustice shown towards them by other state people. People from Tamilnadu should get educated and also elect correct government which supports them. Also in Tamilnadu reservation and priority should be given to tamil people. Moreover keralites deprive tamil people of their rights in all sectors especially border places like coimbatore, kanyakumari, nagercoil, pollachi are all affected. Tamil people should be United from now onwards and stop atrocities like this against their fellow tamilians. Tamilians should stop being emotional and give importance to tamil language and support tamil people outside tamilnadu. Other language people are United whereas tamilians are not. It's a lesson to be learnt to save and develop ourselves.

    Utter waste film in entire life

    Don't ever watch this movie, even imaginary wise the story,s Tamil and Malayalam conflict is worst and the ending of film is Pathetic. Most of the scenes in movie is not at all needed, a fight turning into a murder is such a long scene which runs for 24 hours in which they show each and every person from film crying for funeral.

    Last scene mothers delivering a speech and side characters keeps crying and shouting, ena scene da ithu

    Pata than thirunthuven nu pakravan pathutu neum review podu.

    Director please don't try creating any other movie it's enough

    This Imbd is requesting 600 words what can I write for such a naunces movie.

    A intense movie based on true events

    The film is based on true events that he had heard about a rebel student in Munnar, happening during the 1980s. Good cinematography. Speaking of the cast, all actors do their parts well, even though GV Prakash Kumar misses the mark when it comes to a crucial breakdown scene. Mamitha Baiju is good in whatever little role she has been given. Like her last film Premalu, there's also a professor character played by Karunas in Rebel, who plays a key role in the narrative. The characterization of the professor is truly sublime, probably the best in this film.

    Directed by debutante Nikesh RS, has put a great effort.
