However, the industry has also been criticized for historically viewing these issues through an upper-caste lens. It took decades for films to center the experiences of the marginalized. That ice broke with films like Chemmeen (1965), which, while beautiful, romantically coded caste tragedy. The real reckoning came with the 2000s and 2010s, led by directors like Lijo Jose Pellissery. His film Jallikattu (2019) is a primal scream—a single night of a village descending into animalistic chaos to catch a buffalo. Under the surface, it is a violent deconstruction of male aggression and latent caste violence in the Kerala Christian and Ezhavas communities. More explicitly, films like Kanthan: The Lover of Colour (2019) and Aedan: Garden of Desire (2021) by Sanal Kumar Sasidharan starkly depict the lived reality of caste discrimination, breaking the myth of Kerala as a purely "casteless" society.
