Set in Trivandrum, Kerala, *Uttavar* is a powerful tale inspired by true events. Padma, born into the privilege of a Nair family, dares to defy societal norms by falling in love with Chandu, a man from a tribal community. Their love, considered forbidden, triggers a brutal backlash. When Chandu becomes a victim of honor-driven violence, Padma is thrust into a harrowing choice vengeance or justice. What unfolds is a journey of transformation as she rises against oppression with fierce resilience. Directed by Anil Dev, *Uttavar* is not just a film—it’s a visceral experience, a bold statement against entrenched prejudice, and a tribute to the indomitable spirit of a woman who refuses to be silenced. Some stories demand to be heard *Uttavar* demands to be felt.
