PC films? Take any MGR movies, anytime.

Actually, I would say MGR movies are fascist rather than pc -- the emphasis on taming women into patriarchal values, the exaggerated hero uplifting the cowering masses etc.

A pc movie like Avan oru Sariththiram has an element of hero worship as well, but it's a bit more explicitly inclusive of women, workers etc., talks about collective action, the role of the press etc. The disdain for religion as an opiate of the masses expressed in Anal Kattru is something I could not imagine in a MGR movie!

I was remiss in not mentioning Prabhakaran's movies, I've never seen Puratchikaran (though I want to), I saw the one with Khushboo as a battered wife and it was pretty bad though in an entertaining way, the epilogue was great though.
