OpinionHow would survivors feel when they watch the trauma of rape and blackmail — their most powerless moments — dramatised insensitively on towering theatre screens?TrailerScreenGrab/CourtesySunPicturesIt has been four years since the Pollachi case came to light — a horrifying crime involving multiple rapes, blackmail, and abuse of political power that shook Tamil Nadu. Justice remains elusive to the survivors to this day. But in the meantime, Kollywood has had no qualms about producing films ‘inspired’ by the case. Does cinema constantly draw upon real life for stories to tell? Yes. Do all of the stories understand how to represent violent events, without becoming a trigger to survivors of trauma?

Released in theaters worldwide on March 10, 2022, along with dubbed versions in Hindi, Telugu, Malayalam and Kannada languages, “Etharkkum Thunindhavan” was a box office success that now finds its way into Netflix. Despite including a number of Masala elements, the movie also strays away from the norm through a number of interesting elements not all of which work, however.

In that fashion, we are introduced to Kannabiran, a lawyer at the Chennai High Court, who lives with his family consisting of his father Aadhirayar and mother Kosalai, in Thennaadu. His father retains a detached but fair relationship with him, but his mother is rather close, to the point that he could...
