GV Prakash Kumar, with all his typical range of expressions, fits the part. His physicality actually helps the movie, as he never really becomes a larger-than-life hero & does carry the whole movie on his shoulder... Mamitha Baiju, as the female lead, is mostly an on-looker who never really causes any trouble to the narrative...

The structure of this movie by Nikesh RS is extremely basic. Instead of fleshing out the story with a layered study of discrimination, Nikesh just throws a Kerala story-like imagination into this film. It is completely okay to have a fictional setting in movies. But when you are doing that in a story that talks about real places, a level of conviction is required... The movie actually simplifies the complex nature of the conflict into a mere hate campaign...

We all have seen a segment of the population, who shows hate towards a category of people based on their caste or language. Films addressing such political and sensitive topics are indeed a necessity, as art has that political layer to its credit. But when you monsterize everyone from a region in order to create a mass hero, the gross generalization is something that is extremely problematic...resulting in creation of unnecessary hatred...

There is no Malayali character with a positive role in the film.

The movie has a cliched format of storytelling and is melodramatic.

There are no lighter moments anywhere because it is a serious story.

Poor writing makes it predictable. Director Nikesh RS fails in the execution...

Overall Rebel keeps all the political fronts on the wrong side and focuses only on the political friction or the injustice done to the TSP.

For a movie that tries to talk about how education is the key to eradicate sentiments of racism and tribalism, the movie pathetically falls victim to that which it tries to preach against. It's a movie that can't seem to shut up about how so innocent and just Tamil people are, while at the same time portraying their Malayalam counter-parts as a group of vile, evil racists. You have to be a special kind of stupid to not see how you are exactly that which you're trying so hard to criticize. It's just an ugly movie with less to nothing redeeming about it. Excusing the blatant racism, all you find is inconsistent writing with no room for logic; cliches; tropes; bad acting and dull music. It's not worth your time. Movies like this are best ignored.

Don't ever watch this movie, even imaginary wise the story,s Tamil and Malayalam conflict is worst and the ending of film is Pathetic. Most of the scenes in movie is not at all needed, a fight turning into a murder is such a long scene which runs for 24 hours in which they show each and every person from film crying for funeral.

Last scene mothers delivering a speech and side characters keeps crying and shouting, ena scene da ithu

Pata than thirunthuven nu pakravan pathutu neum review podu.

Director please don't try creating any other movie it's enough
