Paava Kadhaigal Review: Star Rating: 3.5/5 Stars (Three and a half Stars) Advertisement âDiscrimination’ is a word that has become a part of our vocabulary for years now and practised in our society for as long as we know. Paava Kadhaigal that hits Netflix today brings together 4 of the most woke and noteworthy Tamil filmmakers Sudha Kongara, Vignesh Shivan, Gautham Menon and Vetrimaaran to create an anthology that portrays shades of discrimination and what it costs to the people who dream. While Sudhaâs Thangam left me shattered, read on to know what I felt about the others. Thangam Advertisement Heads up, this is THE best short in Paava Kadhaigal that is raw and doesnât require polished edges. Sudha Kongara, for the ones who have seen her work, has a perspective that takes you through the evil and leaves you at a possible redemption. With Thangam, Kongara does not take that route, rather she leaves you in the dystopia that we are living in for ages now. Centre of it all is Sathaar, a trans man (Kalidas Jayaram) living a life subjected to scrutiny in a small town in South of India. He is in love with his childhood best friend, whom he calls Precious and I would want you to remember him like that (watch to know why).
