Maaveeran Kittu

Set in 1987, Kittu dreams of becoming district collector and pairs with Chinnarasu to challenge a caste-biased system. They begin by questioning how police, courts, and everyday life favor the upper castes. This marks the start of a relentless fight for Dalit rights in their village.

Chinnarasu funds Kittu's education and uses his influence to push back against entrenched hierarchies. The alliance gives Kittu confidence and a tactical understanding of local power dynamics. Their collaboration signals the broader push for justice in the community.

Gomathi publicly shames a Dalit girl, triggering a public confrontation. Kittu steps in, admonishes her, and this act plants the seed for a personal transformation in Gomathi. The moment foreshadows a fragile, forbidden connection between them.

Gomathi's encounter with Kittu unsettles her, stirring guilt and self-reflection. Over time, she grapples with a forbidden attraction that clashes with social boundaries. Her growing inner conflict adds a human layer to the caste-politics drama.

Rumors spread that Gomathi's love for Kittu triggered the violence surrounding her father's death. Kittu is framed for murder and ends up in jail, with bail granted only when evidence is scarce. The episode deepens mistrust and intensifies the clash between the Dalits and the authorities.

Inside the police station, Kittu confronts Inspector Selvaraj, whose prejudice against Dalits colors his actions. The clash becomes a public display of oppression and hardens the rift between communities. It foreshadows the tougher road ahead for Kittu.

With his fate uncertain, Kittu slips away to a tribal village near Kodaikanal as part of a calculated strategy. He aims to uncover the true culprits behind Gomathi's father's death and to force a fairer examination of the case. The move relies on Chinnarasu's discreet support and signals a shift from courtroom battles to direct exposure.

Gomathi, aware of Kittu's innocence, tracks his location and chooses to leave her home to stand by his side. Her decision marks a personal risk that mirrors the broader struggle against caste oppression. The two become a symbol of steadfast commitment amid danger.

As truth edges closer, upper-caste leaders and police mobilize to reclaim Kittu and bring him back to the village for humiliation. They also aim to undermine Chinnarasu's leadership and the broader anti-caste movement. The upcoming confrontation promises to test the community's resolve.

In a piercing act of sacrifice, Kittu leaps from a cliff rather than allow the system to stain Chinnarasu's cause any longer. His death becomes a stark indictment of caste-based hatred and oppression. The moment shifts the village and demands a reckoning with its history.

The funeral procession winds through the village's main street, a route long barred to Dalits, turning memory into a public assertion of dignity. The ceremony becomes a powerful symbol that challenges entrenched hierarchies. The crowd's emotions reflect both sorrow and a stubborn hope for change.

The film closes with music, memory, and a procession that finally crosses old barriers, hinting at potential change. The narrative emphasizes courage, love, and sacrifice as catalysts for social awakening. It leaves viewers with a somber yet hopeful note about justice in a caste-conscious society.
