| Karie (Malayalam: കരി, English translation: charcoal) is a 2015 Indian Malayalam-language film. It is the debut feature film by Naranipuzha Shanavas.
Karie transcends and travels with time. It encapsulates the essence of travel from north to south of Kerala and a mythical dance form named Karinkaliyattam (Karie). Even though south and north differ in all aspects of life the only one thing which doesn't change in common is caste/class difference.
The Karinkaliyattam has a color revenge, as when the lower caste people come as Karinkali (God) the upper caste has to bow their head in front of them. The artist who is in the skin of Karinkali the god is dual personality as he is lower caste human being and God at the same time. Then the real travel begins and goes through troubled waters of real life and Karie, God and human being all become inseparable from each other.
Karie was nominated for the National Award in 2015. |
