Our take

Prolific Tamil filmmaker A.C. Tirulokchandar tells an evocative tale of a slowly crumbling marriage in this film, which is loosely inspired by Somerset Maugham’s novel The Painted Veil. Memorable compositions beautifully encapsulate the emotional depth and turmoil of the estranged couple.
