Renowned Malayalam cinema actors Mohan Rao (Rakshit) and Ranga Rao (Thiruveer of dy George Reddy's fame) are all-weather siblings from Palasa, Srikakulam. Also in the late 1970s, he has crossed paths with his high-caste oppressors, primarily Linga Murthy (Janardhana). With this, he has been drawn into politics, risking circumstances. In Guru Murthy (Raghu Kuncha), Linga Murthy's rival sails for fishing in the water. Also, as the story progresses, the plot thickens with a change in allegiance and violence. Also, can good brothers destroy bad brothers? Writer-director Karuna Kumar has prepared 'Palasa' well on the lines of Pa Ranjith's films, as far as social commentary is concerned with the real story.

 At the same time caste-based oppression and the horrors of hierarchy in Indian society are indisputable. At the same time the film speaks for oppressed Dalits, and offers both an embedknight solution (welcome in every respect) as well as a radical path (incompatible with the values of modern society).

Also, the opening scenes build a tempo around a character named Bairagi, a low-caste person who has a cult status in the village. Humor is organic in open defecation scenes. The film does this with all sincerity, ranging from constantly reminding the audience of the arrogance and inhumanity of the upper-caste oppressors to the political aranyagram of the famous NT Rama Rao. Along with this, the iniquity of Palasa is a witness to raw violence between members of upper and lower castes. Apart from this, the characters make fun but they do not save themselves from their senses. Two prominent men from the family of street singers, Jai Ho and his folk songs are integral parts of the film. Also, the scene where Mohan Rao successfully lifts the legendary Bairagi stone is a flaw in the moment of 'Bahubali' where Mahendra (Prabhas) picks up the Shiva Linga. However, the scene of the film is a moment. Also the brothers' identity crisis (they were artists and now call themselves rowdy) is subtle. The film does not deal with rebellion against the cruelty of lower caste men in an escapist manner.

The character of a soldier named Sebastian speaks in practical terms. The film promotes that a rebellion against Macabe men can take you on a path caused by thorns, gray ideologies and worse conditions. A Naxalite depicted in the film is actually a forthright person who is hardly ideal. The final 20 minutes are noteworthy at the moment, the run-up in this segment may be too much. At the same time the taste of some scenes seems repetitive after a point. The conspiracy and counter-attack could have been narrated better. In a film full of seductive performances, Thiruvir portrayed it. As we reviewed in our 'George Reddy' (and we want to repeat ourselves), he is here to stay longer. Right there Rakshit proves his talent, and music director Raghu Kunch excels in the role of a quiet elitist who is nevertheless wicked.
