Vijay Kumar's Uriyadi perfectly portrays caste-based politics. On Throwback Thursday

As director Vijay Kumar's Uriyadi turns 5 today, let us look at the impact the film had on everyone.

Many South Indian films showcase caste-based violence and most of them glorify it for commercial purpose. Seldom does a film showcase the harsh reality accurately and still makes people feel the impact. Director Vijay Kumar's Uriyadi is one such film and it needs to be treasured. Today (May 27), Uriyadi completes five years of release and still remains relevant. On this week's Throwback Thursday, let us look back at this gem of a film, which created a lasting impact on people. Uriyadi remains one of the most important Tamil films in the last decade. Apart from directing, Vijay Kumar also played the lead and produced the film. Mime Gopi, Sivakumar and Chandru play important roles. With Uriyadi (initially titled Vidiyumvarai Vinmeengalavom), director Vijay Kumar gave the audience a film that brings to the fore how caste politics have an adverse effect in everyone's life. The film at no point shies away from showing the violence inflicted upon people. It is brutal and it is the truth.
