Maaveeran Kittu is a 2016 Indian Tamil language drama film directed by Suseenthiran, starring Vishnu Vishal, Parthiban Radhakrishnan, and Sri Divya in the lead roles. The film takes place in the 1980s and is set in a small town called Thiruvengadam, where communal tensions run high between the Tamil and Telugu-speaking population. The titular character, Kittu (Vishnu Vishal), is a young Tamil man who dreams of becoming a teacher. Despite being from a poor family, he is determined to pursue his studies and make a better life for himself. However, his life takes a drastic turn when he becomes embroiled in a conflict between the Tamil and Telugu communities.

Kittu's best friend is a Telugu-speaking boy named Kumar (Parthiban Radhakrishnan). Although their respective communities are at odds with each other, they remain close friends, much to the chagrin of their families. However, things begin to spiral out of control when a political leader from the Telugu community is murdered, and Kumar is falsely accused of the crime.

Kittu, who witnessed the murder, knows that Kumar is innocent and decides to testify in court. However, doing so puts his own life in danger as the real culprits behind the murder are powerful and influential people who will stop at nothing to keep their identities concealed.

The film's narrative focuses on Kittu's struggle to do the right thing and help his friend, while navigating the complex social and political landscape of the town. His actions have far-reaching consequences, affecting not just his own life but also the lives of those around him.

In terms of performances, Vishnu Vishal delivers a strong and convincing portrayal of Kittu, effectively conveying the character's sense of idealism and determination. Parthiban Radhakrishnan is equally impressive as Kumar, bringing depth and nuance to what could have been a one-dimensional character. Sri Divya, who plays the female lead role of Padma, Kittu's love interest, does well in her limited screen time.

The film's other technical aspects, such as cinematography, music, and editing, are also noteworthy. The visuals effectively capture the mood and setting of the film, while the music by D. Imman complements the narrative without distracting from it.

Overall, Maaveeran Kittu is a well-crafted and engaging film that deals with themes of friendship, loyalty, and sacrifice. It is a poignant reminder of the impact that one person's actions can have on the lives of those around them. The film is definitely worth a watch, especially for those interested in socially relevant dramas.
