Podcast #3 in the Marupadiyum Podcast series.

We talk about Mani Ratnam's Iruvar (1997), in our view, the only honest political film made in India. Based upon the life of real life stalwarts MGR and Karunanidhi, Iruvar is a masterpiece in storytelling, acting, visuals and music.

Tune in to listen to our discussion on how a solid array of actors and performances brought a classic real-life rivalry alive on the screen.

References in the film to actual incidents are listed out in the blog below:
