Synopsis:
The movie tells a true tale of a man named Kolappan who seeks justice for being mistreated as a Dalit. The casteist viewpoints do not show any reprieve even in the death of Kolappan's father, whose body cannot be carried in the common pathway, towards the crematorium. The officials believe that this would "pollute" the pathway for others, and do not help Kolappan. The man then decides to protest, and to his surprise, sees that his fellow villagers are in his full support. This movie is a must watch in order to understand the plight of Dalits in Indian society.
