Netflix‘s latest Tamil Anthology, Paava Kadhaigal is all set for a release on the 18th of this month. The promotions have begun with the release of the film’s trailer. Paava Kadhaigal is the story of four heart-wrenching stories tangled between family honor and love.
The major highlight of the anthology is the choice of the cast with performers like Prakash Raj, Sai Pallavi, Gautam Menon, Simran, Kalidas Jayaram, Anjali, Kalki Koechlin. Kalidas Jayaram deserves a special mention as he chose to play a transgender like how Vijay Sethupathi did in Super Deluxe last year. The stories were set up in the small towns of Tamil Nadu and the stories involve a love marriage, sexual exploitation of an ambitious little girl, a relationship between two women, and a transgender love story.
As if the subjects are not hard enough, they are dealt with a hard-hitting angle of honor killings which will pierce through the hearts. The final shot of the trailer – Simran pushing her daughter from the edge of a cliff will be haunting. If all the stories have similar endings, the stories with the kind of directors in their ranks (Gautham Vasudev Menon, Sudha Kongara, Vetri Maaran, and Vignesh Shivan), the performers on board, and the realistic stories Kollywood is known for will make a deep lingering impact on the viewers. The title, Paava Kadhaigal itself means the Tales of Sins which hints at what is coming.
