Watching a film like Kumbalangi Nights (2019), you notice how the characters speak. The educated, anglicized brother speaks differently from the rustic, broken fisherman. The film uses dialect as a marker of class and trauma. Similarly, Perumazhakkalam (2004) relies entirely on the intensity of verbal confrontation rather than physical action.
