Rebel

Good story and screenplay. One of the best efforts from GV Prakash. Cast and crew is the big backbone of this story. Shows the real face of politics in one word dialogue after interval. Hats off to the team. Please do watch. Kindly ignore the negative comments. Violence is shown but without that we can able to travel in this movie. Over all I liked the movie. I don't know why this movie does not get too much support in theatres. If promotions are made then it could be the blockbuster also. Thanks rebel team for making a good story. All please do watch. Overall rating for this movie is 8 out of 10.

Excellent movie plot. Reality/Facts depicted beautifully. The purpose of this movie is definitely not to create any animosity between Malayalis or Tamils. But the movie spoke the truth of how the minority Tamils by treated by SOME ignorant heartless people in Munnar. Till now the minority tamils are facing discrimination and exploitation by huge corporations and people. Hopefully the current generation can create a change ! Maybe the minority tamils can be better treated by giving a place of their own? Maybe the women can be treated equally in terms of gender instead of looking at them as cheap labour in Munnar Tea estates ? No one is a slave for anyone -The main message of this movie.

Please watch the documentary ' Mannu - Sprouts of Endurance' for a better understanding of the issue discussed in the movie.

"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.

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.

"Rebel, boasts solid direction and commendable acting performances that kept me engaged. However, the film leaves a negative impression on Keralites due to its portrayal, which may not accurately represent the community. Whether based on a true story or not, if the depiction is accurate, it's disappointing. Acting-wise, the movie falls into the "okay" category, with unnecessary sentiment elements that detract from its impact. It's a one-time watch, but the ending feels inappropriate, leaving viewers wanting more closure. Despite expectations for more scenes featuring the talented Mamita Baiju, the movie fails to deliver on that front, lacking promising moments.
