Soorarai Pottru: An Important Story To Tell
Soorarai Pottru is a story well told and deserves a watch by a wider audience. Perhaps in schools and colleges and in communities of self-employed entrepreneurs of all kinds.

Dolly Kitty Aur Chamakte Taare received tepid reviews in the mainstream media. However, for a wayward viewer like me, the film was reminiscent of the eloquent lives of women I know.

Lives into which I only have a voyeuristic lens. Stories not of grand struggles, or taking feminist stands, but of omniscient living, any act of desire is transgression.
