PA. Ranjith's Cinematic Vision: Comparing Themes, Aesthetics, and Politics in Direction and Production
Abstract: PA. Ranjith has redefined Tamil cinema through his roles as director and producer, weaving Ambedkarite ideology into narratives that spotlight marginalized communities, especially Dalits. This paper compares his directorial works, such as Kabali and Thangalaan, with his production ventures, like Pariyerum Perumal, analyzing their thematic focus on caste, class, and resistance, alongside distinct aesthetic and political choices. It argues that Ranjith?s dual contributions challenge mainstream conventions, enrich subaltern representation, and reshape Tamil cinema's socio - political landscape while nurturing new voices.
Keywords: Dalit Films, Pa. Ranjith, Ambedkarite Politics, Subaltern Aesthetics, Tamil Cinema
