There are a lot of things going on in Prathi Poovankozhi (Cock is the Culprit) where a woman (Manju Warrier) seeks revenge from a man (Rosshan Andrrews) who has wronged. He has misbehaved with her in a way that has upended her life, and the conviction with which she seeks vengeance is what makes this a loud, reality-shattering view on the issues of sexual harassment against women and virile sexism. Anything more than that on the plot will turn this review into a pool of spoilers, but what can instead be said about the thriller is the relentlessly active preying that the woman does on the man so as to turn the tables for one time in the history of mankind and attempt to show what's really at stake: not the house that she lives in, not her job, not her family, not her friends or colleagues. Writer Unni R hits the right spots with the primary theme but he has also included weaker elements (most scenes involving Anusree) and the comedy which tend to dilute the effect that Prathi Poovankozhi was supposed to have. The climax is cutthroat throwaway righteousness but it makes all sense when you think about the film hours after you have watched it. Warrier's performance will do that to you because she's more convincing than anything else here. A noteworthy film but way longer and loose (where the chase goes on and on) to be called anything more than that. Grace Antony's character gets the 'badass award' from me. TN.
