Paava Kadhaigal – A Netflix Anthology on Honor Killing
An actual shady anthology it was! There’s an incomprehensible nervousness created by the miserable cradle-song, “Kanne Kanmaniye”, a Sivatmikha’s melody that leads all of the four movies in this Netflix anthology, “Paava Kadhaigal”. Was it the embarrassing intimation that the dotting parents who very much treasure and love their sons and daughters; celebrating them as Kanmaniye and Kanne, someway advance the intellectual disagreement essential to be intelligent to unbridle the appalling atrocities shoved onto them in the term of prestige, pride and honor?

The lacerations of bloodshot in the animated movie that plans the development of a daughter, the way she transmutes from a reliant-on youngster to an independent grown-up for falling in love that is foreseen in her wedding is an added gloomy mark of anything that is about to come in these four movies. I realize that Paava Kadhaigal ventures into the dismay of our nature, roughly as precise as Honor-killing. To get such a comfortable withdrawal from the collections based on nonspecific themes that have reached our doors so far. This awareness attends to deliver film directors as comparable as Vignesh Shivan and Gautham Menon a stage to arrive at fresh beginnings of which dimness unfolds strong energies like virginity and class and other societal standing and the outcomes lie from sensibly appealing to intuitive-injuring!
When you ponder of the prejudice or Paava Kadhaigal whether it originates in the shape of a person’s sexuality, caste-rooted ferocity, or honor killing; one can’t support but wonder how many of it is tolerated by the womankind who are habitually at the reception edge! The lively title chain of the anthology uses the colour red as a sign to show the numerous phases of a woman’s survival. It additionally pilots home the fact that women are the vilest amidst the burdened, regardless of whatever class or belief they fit into!
1. Thangam- A Sudha Kongara direction,
It’s rather captivating in what way a solo ploy of contriving up a transwoman in this movie, would then show as an emblematic rustic love tale that spins into parental antagonism, becomes pervaded with as many novel sheets. Nearly every single viewpoint touches the “new simple” since the dominant part: a burdened, chastened transwoman, Saththaaru (a delightful Kalidas Jayaram), whose individuality as a female is reliably, methodically deprived of by the culture she exists in. Similarly, with much praise to Kalidas’s acting, he dwells in this role by all his susceptibilities and unconquerable liveliness. This movie expresses all the perils prowling at each crook for a transwoman, in what way it’s frequently inferior to flat for a cisgender woman. The finest portions of this movie were those that made this role respire and exist and love.
The brief is in a while of a rush to make seats still. Shanthnu’s Thangam signs off as a possible suggestion ending with a heartbreak. He slips in love, marries his love, runs away, taps a year, gives birth to a child in all this showtime. This is possibly why the development from a normal happy spirit to one of the dirges feel suddenly appears, even if Sudha pillows it with a turn. As the movie dashed near its honestly superficial turn finish, I desired to have erudite more around Saththaaru adding the rapid blending that role received, and maybe that’s what halted me from actually spinning heartbroken as that was nearly a histrionic recurrence that played out near the end. Nonetheless through and big, it’s a movie that circles up the upcoming anthologies fairly sound.
2. Love Panna Vitturanum- A Vignesh Shivan film,
I’m rather clashed by this movie, dark humor! Since the shares that effort fine is pleasant, but the movie is too inappropriate to be loaded with few of the gauche changes from its spirit. There is some difficult message conveyance that happens throughout the film. Assumed the mass and sombreness of the theme at point (honor killing) it is a stimulating way-out by director Vignesh Shivan to thin down the kind to dark humor. There is an impertinent term joke with rather a jiff of provisional humour too where the incident involving the entry of the domestic help at a point that puts you to curiosity on how are you expected to be breathless in shock or senses amazed. This muddle is one among the glitches with Love Panna Vitturanum, which cracks from taking you to be horrified in one instant, to responding with laughter in the following.
One pun hit the chord through, for me! The satire of those lines in hostility to the difference in caste for falling in love receiving baffled when opposed to a lesbian relation. There are two stellar acts in this movie: Padam Kumar, who is portrayed to be a casteist minister and the father of identical twins namely Jyothilakshmi and Aadhilakshmi which was portrayed by Anjali along with dancer Jaffer who appears as a petite being and the minister’s wily underling aid. The diminutive individual is recognized to be a pitiless murderer who receives each invective that arises his path. Though the graphic influence of seeing akin ruthless and inimitable personality with a barytone vocal, not below does it enhance the threat of the act! I’m not certain that it’s liable to whatever suitable for people who are already facing a fair amount of partiality and nastiness, on the reason for their minuscule figure.
Temporarily, Padam Kumar who is projecting Veerasimman, a father who prioritizes pride, social prestige and caste over his love for his daughters, lures a huge amount after the pits of his slumber-hungry eyes to connect his countless unspoken feelings and opinions. This dark humor not everis really lets you steep in the influence of two terrible killers that happen in its runtime. In its place, it welcomes upon itself the difficult clue of nearly trying to sympathize with Veerasimman. That completed through a gloomy melody that is entirely around his fictional agony and at the pleased close, the director appears to get this movie get your questioning on why or how he has been permitted to go unpunished, despite deeding honor-killing which was shown as appalling. When the movie and it is very bizarre conclusion come to a playing end, you are eventually ruled out with the trace of having viewed an eccentric movie that maybe could not securely grip the dark of its substance.
3. Vaanmagal- A Gautham Menon story,
This movie and this theme must be an unrented terrain for Gautham Menon. Even if you can very intently identify his directorial existence with the pretty sturdy usage of songs and recurrent voice-plugs, including the track that folds up the movie. The director also turns as one of the outraged parents along with his wife which is portrayed by Simran. I moderately accepted him portraying a nearly muted manly lead stature of his household, whose choices are mostly prejudiced by his wife than he usually speaks it out like in the act where he speaks that the car bench covers ain’t changed ensuing her appeal.
It travels across diverse clarifications of the “honor” concept and structures a snatching that appears to arrive from none and the subsequent sexual vehemence and accordingly the social shame neighboring those fatalities more pertinently for this movie, their families! I loved Simran’s act as the virtually sickened, muddled traditional female, badly annoying to take normality back to the domestic. In this movie with some of the gruesome expansions, counting on rapes, filicides, and defacement, the act that instigated me the greatest is the uneasiness that displays a mother trying to factually brush the dye of the delinquency on her daughter’s body! That perceptive mark from the clip in what way women tolerate the load of domestic honor and status that is pretty much a threat across all movies in this compendium following this movie.
4. Orr Iravu- A Vetri Maaran’s plot,
My preferred choices of all the movies were Vetrimaaran’s Orr Iravu. It is an unwavering reflection of honor killing and in what way the structure allows it! The movie starts with a delightfully created inaugural series at the innate house of Sumathi, a fanciful Sai Pallavi. The house’s extremely truthful look like the tainted walls and all the other interiors and the residents brushing around their culinary and housework errands brands it fairly strong that this is nearly a documentary way of seizing the actions to set it to explain by it. The opinions of this house’s people are completely strong and right but then also Sumathi calls to her spouse by his name and her mother jokes, “Purushan paera solradha un oorla vechika.” By means of ‘un ooru’, she is, of course, mentioning to the town since where Sumathi has reached to a town that this movie proposes is far-off harmless than Sumathi’s inborn village and it is projected in your look casteism. However, class domination is at the core of this movie Sumathi’s father played by Prakash Raj, for example, cannot get himself to quench water at his son-in-law’s home. This is a movie that drives its attention directly not on the burdened, Sumathi or her regressive casted husband, Hari; but again, the persecutor her father!
This is a movie that is merely helping to practically appreciate a theory, stand observer and save the alteration of a beneficial, thoughtful father into a terrifying attacker. The movie is also absorbed in revealing the part of the culture in such a malicious getting requirement and as optional at the close, even legally exempted. But for roughly a few orthodox violins that interfere while the condition gets chiefly awful, this is an engaging but a silent movie, with the music structure frequently managed with catching the realism of the location, like the tweeting of crickets at evening which had the result of creating some of the actions touch even more actual and accordingly, menacing.
I liked both Sai Pallavi and Prakash Raj in this movie, the previous particularly in how she sneaks and begs and bears primary pain. Nevertheless, for Prakash Raj portraying Sumathi’s disputed father, this movie is mostly around the summarizing of his role, nearly how to complete burden reasons him to drop the clutch of what’s correct and incorrect. Though hitting him under the microscope, this movie similarly welcomes notes of the demoted parts offered to women in such cultures and the seeming disregard. Just have a glance at how Sumathi’s father manages the women of his household, expressly his spouse who he repeatedly noises like one would call a bull: “Ai!” In this deeply moving movie, if I had to criticize at all, it would have to be the keenness of not to be realized demoting Hari to the backdrop, it closes up utilizing the obstinate speech to deliver a few clarifications. Through then, the movie is stretched and is over. Its aim of a thorough portrayal of Sumathi’s father fairly broad and me as a teary-eyed muddle. Tactlessly, not! Vetri Maaran cheers film director Ameer in the acclaims. Talks about the gory culmination with a real expressive settling and that are Ameer’s Paruthiveeran!
Somewhere down the lane, a woman and a man equally fight in their rights, shake gears up a jiff in the “Love Panna Uttranum” minister’s village. Then, again, both are external to the civilization that these four movies depict the woman is white and the man is a rapper who glees in raising a crawl at the organization. The women and the changing men of “Paava Kadhaigal” do not carry that possibility.
