a deeper view of the caste system

[ngandacinema · 8/10 · 4 November 2023]

'TK' took the caste system to a deeper level than we've have ever seen on screen, a round of applause to director Esakki👏🏻

DELICIOUS

-From the very first minutes, the director caught our attention. We were introduced to a strong-willed Chinnasamy who was fierce and fearless.

-So many great things to highlight: flawless acting (kudos to Lal and Chinnasamy's mom), photography was on point, and the dialogues were thought-provoking!

You can tell the makers of this film really took the time to sit down and process the narrative

-The movie wasn't the typical story about caste system because it provided solid evidence as to why it must be abolished by all means, and Chinnasamy's resolution to take a new profession was a bold statement of his resilience

-The film started with funeral rites and ended with funeral rites, but shown in symbolic circumstances

BLAND

-The music was a bit overpowering, drowning the scenario from time to time. Some scenes just needed quiet moments to absorb the atmosphere

-The court scene was quite long, even though it was meant to be an intense segment; it just became more like a history class

Overall, an outstanding watch!

The originality lost in second half and court scenes.

The movie is solid drama and delivers the much needed social message. Lot of good dialogs and all characters done their job very well. As usual Cheran's over acting helped some time and irritates most of the time.

The second half sequences are more or less like masala movie, not authentic one. It failed to show the confronts, instead it shows the revenge feeling only.

The court scenes are not even close to serial drama. The arguments and Judge comments are like two friends arguing about the social issue in social media. If they put more logic to the court scenes, it would have more solid one.
