CE Features

GV Prakash's Rebel, helmed by debutant Nikesh RS, is now streaming on OTT platform Amazon Prime Video. The film stars Mamitha Baiju as the female lead and marks her debut in Kollywood.

The film's story deals with the oppression and harassment that Tamil students face in a college in Kerala, and how they rise against the injustice meted out at them. Rebel was released on March 22 and got mixed reviews from critics as well as the audience.

Our CE review of the film read, "Despite a promising story, Rebel unfortunately leans to the side that it feared and strived not to. This issue with the writing removes our emotional connectivity with the characters, so when we see them get in trouble, we don't feel any empathy towards them."

Rebel also stars Karunaas, Subramania Siva, Shalu Rahim, Venkatesh V.P., Aaditya Bhaskar, Kalloori Vinoth and Aathira, among others.

Rebel's technical crew comprises Arun Radhakrishnan (cinematographer) and Vetre Krishnan (editor).
