Overview

• The film opened in India on September 5 as a Tamil-language debut from Varsha Bharath, following Ramya from ages 15 to 32 and produced by Vetri Maaran’s Grass Root Film Company.
• It premiered at the International Film Festival Rotterdam and received the NETPAC award.
• A Madras High Court order led to the teaser being removed from YouTube, and reports say CBFC edits trimmed roughly 20% for the theatrical version.
• Early reviews commend Bharath’s direction, the visual design and Amit Trivedi’s music, with assessments of Anjali Sivaraman’s lead turn ranging from emphatic praise to reservations.
• Several critics argue the film’s feminist lens offers limited engagement with caste and colour hierarchies that shape desire and safety.
