Is Narivetta based on Kerala’s Muthanga incident?
Narivetta, which was released on May 23, 2025, actually re-tells the story of the Muthanga incident. It was a protest carried out by the Adivasi that had escalated and also led to death. The music director of the movie, Jakes Bejoy, according to a News 18 report, had appreciated the efforts of the director who gave a voice to the voiceless with a pretty strong message. For the unversed, the Adivasi community wanted land rights, and it turned into an important chapter in the history of Kerala.
