Amidst the raging controversy over ‘Sanātana Dharma’ in the country, Actor-Director Cheran-starrer ‘Tamil Kudimagan’ was released on Thursday to bring about a transformation in the society at a large. It is an engaging social drama, which depicts the evils of caste system that is prevailing in rural Tamil Nadu.

Despite the birth place of Periyar, Dr CN Annadurai, Dr Kalaignar and the establishment of Samathuvapurams, Tamil Nadu needs to trail a new blazer in wiping out the caste system. This is one more attempt in right time and direction.

As usual actor Cheran delivers his stellar performance in the social drama. In recent times, the Tamil Cinema industry is producing films that were against the caste system and oppression of lower caste by upper caste.
