Creating a Thread for my podcast. Let’s see how long I do it before I lose interest. Been wanting to start one for nearly 2 years and I finally did last year. Here’s the trailer of Kalakkittiye da Kaapi!

The milieu and the times are the context with which things like this need to be looked at. Without context many of these things will sound like “so what? That’s just common sense.”
“Hitler kaalathil, andha Charlie Chaplin Dhil”
The hitler kalathil is the context for calling Charlie Chaplin’s art Dhil. 🤷🏽♂️
I don't think Ezhili is saying Sananth shouldn't have played Subbu, but exalting him for being brave for playing a trans character is something that has miffed the OP.
Now, that can be discussed and debated. You might agree with that opinion or not, but I found certain problematic posts dissing the OP.
Again, there is no need to agree with Ezhili's post, but it is okay for it to exist in this way.
Also, I agree team Dorothy's choice shouldn't have to be seen as a brave thing, but in this socio-political-cultural context, it is so... till things change for the better.
People have started posting Dorothy hot takes & criticism. Enna nu patha. It's just people nitpicking (like they do with 96) by completely ripping the film out of its milieu & context 🥱🥱🥱🥱🥱🥱
