"The malignant attitude of distorting the minister’s statement and misappropriating it as a call for genocide is unacceptable. The growing hate and hunt for the minister’s is very disturbing," read Pa Ranjith's post on X.

Mari Selvaraj, ‘Maamannan’, and the cinema of caste in Tamil Nadu

Loved #PaRanjith's latest film "Natchathiram Nahargiradhu". Another powerful film in his arsenal. This gives me hope about future of #ArtCinema or #Indian #Cinema in general.
My favorite #film that came out this year. :)
A must watch #MastIndia.
