Navarasa is a 2021 Indian Tamil-language anthology streaming series created by Mani Ratnam and Jayendra Panchapakesan. The title refers to the nine "rasas" or human emotions central to Indian aesthetic theory: love, laughter, sorrow, anger, courage, fear, disgust, wonder, and peace.
In 2021, the Tamil film industry (Kollywood) delivered an ambitious and artistically driven project titled . Conceived by the legendary filmmaker Mani Ratnam and the late, iconic actor-politician Kamal Haasan, the anthology was not merely a collection of short films; it was a curated response to the emotional and economic devastation caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. The stated mission was twofold: to explore the nine fundamental human emotions (the Navarasas ) from classical Indian aesthetics, and to raise funds for the film industry’s workers who were left jobless during the lockdowns. navarasa xxx new 2021

In a world of content, we usually watch a movie and then ask, "What emotion did that make me feel?" Navarasa flipped the script.

In a sea of cynical anti-heroes (a dominant trope of 2020s media), Karuna dared to be gentle. It told the story of a reluctant elephant mahout. The segment didn't have a villain in the traditional sense; it had circumstance. It reminded popular media that empathy is just as dramatic as revenge.
