Kottukkaali Movie Review:

 

 

The story revolves around Meena, played by Anna Ben, who is believed to be possessed by a demon after her engagement to Pandit, portrayed by Soori. The plot centers on their journey to a preacher for an exorcism, but there’s a question of whether Meena is truly possessed or if her behavior. Still, there is a peaceful protest against the marriage. This ambiguity forms the backbone of the film, challenging the audience to think deeper about the true nature of her actions.

 

The film focuses on character development and underlying themes, such as societal expectations, individual autonomy, and the institution of marriage. The performances are a standout, with Suri expressing the irritation of his character in a subtle yet powerful way and Anna Ben delivering a memorable portrayal of Meena, whose presence speaks volumes even without dialogue. Vinodraj’s direction ensures that every actor delivers a compelling performance, contributing to the film's thought-provoking nature.

 

Overall, "Kottukkali" is a film that steers away from conventional storytelling, opting instead for a narrative that makes the viewer reflect on the themes it presents. Sivakarthikeyan, likely the director or producer, deserves recognition for crafting a film that goes beyond entertainment, encouraging the audience to engage with its deeper messages.
