Arivu
About the movie
Set in 1996, Arivu follows Kathir, a young man who receives a government teaching post in Kaani, a remote tribal village in the Western Ghats. There, he discovers that only boys attend school, as the villagers believe educating girls will anger their deity and bring disaster. Determined to challenge this belief, Kathir secretly gathers a group of 13- to 14-year-old girls who have never attended school and prepares them for examinations as private candidates through the National Institute of Open Schooling. Using Kolam patterns, bead chains and honeycombs, he teaches them at dawn.
As the exams approach, Kathir must help the girls travel to the nearest examination centre in Theni, overcoming their fears and deep-rooted traditions to claim the education they deserve
