The Tamil film Koottukkaali, also known as The Adamant Girl, starring Soori and Anna Ben, will be finally released in theatres on August 23, 2024. The film, which won praise at the 74th Berlin International Film Festival, is then presented to the general audience.
Audience reactions to the film, helmed by PS Vinothraj and backed by Sivakarthikeyan, have been mixed.
Though not everyone feels the same way, many internet users have appreciated the movie and applauded the filmmakers for their creative approach. While some users on X (formerly known as Twitter) thought the movie was rather boring, others said it was a treat for movie buffs.
One user took the time to comment positively on the film, saying that they really enjoyed it. The possibility was raised that an impatient audience could affect the experience. One online user even went so far as to commend the movie for choosing to use only live audio rather than music.
The film has received acclaim for its range of emotions, humor, and striking images. In addition to all of this, Soori, who takes on a totally different role from his typical ones, is also praised.
Audiences have also applauded Anna Ben for her performance, praising the way she uses subtle acting to embody her stoic character despite only having one word to say in the whole movie.
One user said, “#Kottukkaali
live audio, grounded &reality performance by pandi-meena and other cast will give us a refreshing feel Eye pleasing visual and heartwarming story with not a typical narration The perfect mix of humor and emotions
keeps engaged even it’s a slow pace one.”
Another said, “Such a good film I thoroughly enjoyed and every bit of it But Vinod saab u will be failed by impatient audience #Kottukkaali.”
The movie is about a little girl named Meera, who falls in love with a man from a lower caste and is accused by her family of being possessed by a ghost.
Her family embraces this tradition and tries to have her exorcised, which starts a dangerous journey across the village.
The movie’s themes center on things like patriarchy, superstitions, and male chauvinism. In addition, the movie’s narrative is said to go slow.
