Jathi (film)

Jathi is a Tamil word meaning "caste." The term, when appearing in the context of a film title, often indicates that the film's narrative will explore themes related to the caste system prevalent in India, particularly in Tamil Nadu. Such films may depict the social hierarchies, discrimination, and inequalities associated with caste, and their impact on individual lives and communities. The portrayal can range from highlighting the negative consequences of caste-based prejudice to examining the complexities of inter-caste relationships and social reform movements aimed at dismantling the caste system. The title itself acts as a signifier, alerting audiences to the film's thematic focus and potential sociopolitical commentary.
