When style was more substance

Gayatri talks about Aval Appadithaan – a movie in which Rajni Kanth, arguably, acts better than Kamal Haasan! And its sad that this movie released in 1970s and even now, women are objects of biased judgemental treatment.

The most refreshing thing about this movie is its non-judgmental narrative. Everything, from its title that reads “that’s just her” (loosely translated), to the portrayal of Manju, who’s character and openness scares everyone around her, to Rajni, who talks about generalises all women with a grin and a drink in his hand. Now, this is bold cinema cos it justifies nothing!
