The streaming date for Yaavarum Vallavare on OTT platforms has been announced. The movie, featuring Samuthirakani in the leading role, is set to premiere on Aha Video on April 19. Additionally, it will be accessible for streaming on OTTplay Premium. Yaavarum Vallavare served as Rajendra Chakravarthy’s first directorial venture and initially hit theaters on March 15. From the trailer, the film tackles a significant socio-political matter in the nation.
The movie delves into the vices of caste and highlights how society’s fixation on it disrupts the peace even after death. It powerfully asserts that an individual’s caste identity persists throughout their entire life, irrespective of their personal preferences. Samuthirakani appears to embody the archetype of a virtuous individual, a character reminiscent of the protagonists in traditional Tamil classics. However, such characters have become scarce in an era dominated by anti-heroes. The movie adheres to a familiar narrative, highlighting the notion that acts of goodness may not always be acknowledged by society. In one particular scene, the protagonist’s wife advises him to shift his focus from societal concerns to the issues within their own family. Nevertheless, as anticipated, the hero dismisses his wife’s wise counsel and asserts that the entire village stands by him, relying on his actions. It becomes evident to us immediately that the hero is destined to face a series of heartbreaks and disappointments, ultimately leading him to the realization that “every man for himself.”
The primary source of conflict in the film arises from the disorder that ensues during the preparations for the funeral of a soldier who died in combat. As the village prepares to pay their respects to the fallen soldier, who is deserving of recognition for his bravery, the proceedings are tainted by the presence of hate and discrimination based on hatred and caste divisions.
