Sarpatta
Parambarai
has
been
topping
the
charts
since
its
release
on
Amazon
Prime
Video
a
few
days
ago.
Being
a
film
based
on
boxing
of
the
70s,
the
film
is
largely
male-dominated
with
Arya,
John
Kokken,
Santhosh
Prathap,
Shabeer
and
Pasupatthy
playing
the
masters
of
the
game
with
their
buffed-up
physique
and
perfect
punches.
Despite
that,
the
female
actors
of
the
film,
Dushara,
Sanchana
Natarajan,
Anupama
Kumar
and
Priyadarshini
Rajkumar
have
significant
roles
that
make
them
stand
out.
With
small
yet
substantial
roles,
these
actors
have
made
a
lasting
impression.
Dushara
Vijayan,
who
plays
the
character
of
Mariyamma,
Kabilan's
wife
is
shown
fierce,
unflinching,
and
not
one
to
hold
back
her
thoughts
and
punches.
She
speaks
her
heart
out
when
her
husband,
Kabilan,
spends
more
time
at
the
boxing
ring
instead
of
with
her.
While
she
supports
her
husband
in
his
game,
she
also
doesn't
hold
back
when
it
comes
to
fulfilling
her
needs.
Mariyamma
asserts
her
strong
nature
when
Kabilan
loses
focus
on
his
boxing
career.
She
helps
him
get
his
life
back
on
track
and
lets
him
achieve
his
dream
of
becoming
a
boxer
Anupama
Kumar
who
plays
the
character
of
Bakkiyam,
Kabilan's
mother
is
adamant
about
not
letting
her
son
pursue
his
sportive
interests
and
suggests
he
lead
a
peaceful
life
with
his
better
half
Mariyamma
(Dushara).
She
does
this
because
she
fears
that
just
like
his
father,
Kabilan
too
will
give
in
to
the
'other'
side
of
boxing
and
will
indulge
in
petty
crime.
Her
fears
are
not
baseless
as
they
do
come
true.
However,
when
Kabilan
returns
to
apologise,
she
realises
that
it's
only
boxing
who
can
redeem
her
sons
and
from
thereon,
she
supports
her
son
unconditionally.
Sanchana
Natarajan
plays
the
role
of
Lakshmi,
wife
of
Kalaiyarasan
(Vetriselvan).
Lakshmi
sees
her
husband
struggling
to
make
a
mark
in
the
boxing
ring
while
his
father,
coach
Rangan,
is
not
giving
him
the
push
he
needs.
During
his
struggle,
Vetriselvan
finds
his
biggest
supporter
in
his
wife
who
goes
to
various
lengths
to
make
people
realise
his
boxing
capabilities.
Lastly,
Priyadarshini
Rajkumar,
who
plays
the
character
of
Missiamma,
daddy's
wife
who
is
seen
supporting
Arya
in
every
path
of
his
life
and
helps
in
pursuing
his
dream.
She
even
tries
to
convince
Arya's
mother
to
let
him
take
up
boxing.
Set
in
the
70s,
Sarpatta
Parambarai
is
not
just
a
regular
sports
movie
about
boxing.
It
also
showcases
the
culture,
and
lives
of
the
boxing
clans
that
existed
in
North
Madras.
At
the
centre
of
the
story
lies
two
rival
clans-
Sarpatta
and
Idiyappa,
who
are
constantly
locking
horns
in
a
duel
for
the
pride
of
their
respective
clans.
The
film,
with
a
backdrop
of
sports,
illustrates
the
nuances
of
an
era
that
was
rife
with
cultural
and
societal
changes.
