As a dedicated cinephile with a penchant for diverse storytelling and a deep appreciation for the art of cinema, I eagerly anticipated the release of Koottukkaali starring Soori and Anna Ben. Having spent countless hours immersed in the rich tapestry of Tamil cinema, I’ve learned to appreciate the bold and innovative approaches that some films take, as well as the polarizing reactions they often elicit from audiences.
The Tamil film “Koottukkaali,” starring Soori and Anna Ben, will debut in theaters on August 23, 2024. This movie has been eagerly awaited by audiences following its recognition at the 74th Berlin International Film Festival.
The movie helmed by PS Vinothraj and financed by Sivakarthikeyan has sparked varying opinions among viewers. Here are some of those reactions for your perusal.
A variety of internet viewers have lauded the movie and applauded the makers for their inventive style, yet opinions aren’t unanimously positive. On platform X (previously known as Twitter), one user termed the film a joy for cinephiles, whereas another found it rather unexciting.
A different user complimented the movie, stating they found it entertaining. They suggested that perhaps those with less patience may find the viewing experience challenging. In fact, one online user commended the movie for its decision to use only live sound, without any background music.
In my perspective, I’ve found myself deeply moved by the film’s unique blend of heartfelt emotions and hilarious moments, complemented by visually stunning scenes. Furthermore, the applause for Soori’s exceptional performance resonates with me, as he masterfully steps out of his comfort zone to portray a character unlike any role he’s taken before.
Furthermore, Anna Ben’s performance has earned acclaim from viewers, as she skillfully portrays her strong-willed character with subtle acts, managing to convey profound emotions using only a few lines in the movie.
Check out the Twitter reactions by netizens for Koottukkaali:
The movie narrates the story of Meera, a young woman, who experiences suspicion and accusations from her family when they believe she’s possessed by a spirit, due to her falling in love with someone below her caste. Adhering to this belief, her family tries to perform an exorcism on her, leading to a perilous adventure across the village.
The themes of the film focus on aspects like male chauvinism, patriarchy, and superstitions. Furthermore, the movie is also said to have a slow-paced narration.
Regarding Soori’s professional engagements, he was most recently featured in the movie Garudan and will appear in the upcoming sequel film directed by Vetrimaaran, titled Viduthalai Part 2. Meanwhile, Anna has taken on a significant role in Prabhas’ Kalki 2898 AD, which is now available to stream (Hindi dubbed version) on Netflix and Amazon Prime Video.
