✊ MediaFx’s Take (Working‑Class Vision)
From banners at a modest cinema to directing a national icon, Maruthi echoes the working‑class revolution—ordinary folk can rise and shake the system! ✨ This flaunts the power of collective dream and struggle, aligning with our Marxist belief: it’s not about elitist rule but equality, solidarity, and peace. We hope The Raja Saab uplifts common voices, not just entertain—because cinema is a tool for social change too. 🚩
