ALTERNATE PERSPECTIVE: A STUDY TO THE NATURE OF THE ‘STORY’ ITSELF OF TAMIL FILM “MAARA”

Narratology is the study of narrative structure, which is a branch of structuralism. Describing about a certain thing in detail is narrative and the process of narrating things in detail is known as Narratology. The shift of narration from first person and the third person makes us shift the perception of the whole story itself and it makes us understand the narrator's side of the story. The Narratologist basic distinction lies between the ‘story' and the ‘plot'. Dhilip Kumar who directed the film “Kalki”(2017) is the director of the film “Maara”(2021), story adopted from the Malayalam movie “Charlie”. A fairy tale attraction towards both Paaru and Maara had been shown in the film from the beginning itself through the story of ‘in search of the lost fish'. The process of restoration revolves throughout the film through the characters Paaru, Maara and Vellaya as they withstands all the modernists and post modernists in a unique way.
