I wish the film avoided showcasing the character playing Justice Chandru with slo-mo shots and rousing music every-time he said or did something. I also wish the film showcased more of the Irular community’s anger, not just their helplessness. Nevertheless, this is a powerful film that offers a view into deeply entrenched institutional casteism, police brutality, and systemic dehumanisation of tribal communities. It shows us how Institutions, systems, incentives and accountability structures are altered to protect oppressors alone when they, in theory, must ensure justice and protection for all people.

Okay! Some of the comedy worked well, some fell flat. The dad angle felt forced. The romance felt underdeveloped. But ngl, for some reason I liked the placement of aval varuvala 🎶

Worstu da dei. Inexcusable amount of blatant misogyny and patriarchy even for the times it came out in. It’s one thing if these themes are present in a movie, but the whole point of this movie seems to be to justify and glorify gendered roles and female submission. By the end of it, when the female protagonist gets a high from his slap and embraces the submission, I lost the will to live, lol. 
  
Goundamani and Rajini’s escapade to the movie theatre was fun to watch but other than that, simply waste.
