Pariyerum Perumal’s storyline

Pariyerum Perumal is a 2018 Tamil film directed by Mari Selvaraj and produced by Pa. Ranjith. The meaning of its title in English is ‘The God on a Horse’. It is the story of a young man from a Dalit caste who dreams of becoming a lawyer. With this dream, he joins a law college in Tirunelveli without any hint of caste bias that was going to pose as one of the biggest hurdles in his life.

After entering the college, he befriends Jothi Mahalakshmi, a girl who belongs to an upper caste. Their friendship is not looked upon with high regard by Jo’s family and her friends. Her family starts having issues due to their caste supremacy. As the boy tries hard to focus on his studies, he faces a lot of humiliation, beatings and is mentally tortured for crossing the boundaries and becoming friends with an upper caste girl.

The film ends with the boy walking into his college with his head held high. His confidence and urge to be treated equally finally won.
