The film Kottukkaali features Soori as Paandi, a man who is returning from abroad after several years. He intends to marry Meera (played by Anna Ben), his niece who is in love with another person who comes from an underprivileged caste.
Her resolution and adamant nature of being with her lover get assumed by her family as being under a spell. In connection, her family decides to exorcise her and takes her to their family deity and a seer.
In their entire journey, the family faces several obstacles and challenges with other sub-plots simultaneously happening as well. While some even question Meera’s fidelity, she remains quiet throughout her journey. During the same, Paandi also has several instances of losing his patience.
The rest of the film focuses on how they reach their destination and what ends up happening to Meera. The themes of the film focus on aspects like male chauvinism, patriarchy, and superstitions. Furthermore, the movie also has a slow-paced narration with no soundtrack and instead relies on surround sounds.
The movie which was initially released at the 74th Berlin International Film Festival is bankrolled by Sivakarthikeyan under his own production house. The film was also well-appreciated by critics who praised the film’s execution and performances by Soori and Anna Ben.
Coming to Soori’s work front, the actor is next set to appear in the film Viduthalai Part 2. The movie directed by Vetrimaaran marks as the sequel to his 2023 film Viduthalai Part 1.
