Mari Sevaraj’s sports drama, Bison Kaalamaadan, is making a lot of noise as the film has hit the theatres on October 17, 2025. The film, which stars Dhruv Vikram in the lead role, is a gripping tale of a young man’s rebellion to overcome violence plaguing his village while succeeding as a professional Kabaddi player.
Bison storyline
Bison Kaalamaadan narrates the story of ‘Kittan’, who is played by Tamil star Dhruv Vikram. He has always dreamt of becoming a national Kabaddi player; however, as cast oppression is common in rural India, Kittan too faces several challenges to achieve his dream. While the antagonists lead violence in the community with their malign actions, it is Kittan who reacts and stands against the evils of the society.
The ‘bison’ in the film is used as a metaphor to signify strength and resistance. A story on the oppressed, Bison reflects many such people caught in the web of society. It indicates what it takes for even one of them to emerge from this world and find some sort of stability and respect in their lives. ‘Kittan’ is the hope for many faceless Kabaddi enthusiasts in his village, who could never achieve their sporting ambitions.
