Kaathal – The Core speaks about the struggles of coming out and addresses the need for acceptance in a conventional society. And if that's not bold and progressive, I am not sure what is. Mammootty and Jyotika bring out their characters' vulnerability with wonderful restraint in Jeo Baby's film, with Mammootty poignantly making us feel his character's vulnerability and helplessness while Jyotika conveys her deepest worries with just a few expressions.

Arun Kumar makes powerful statements even with the smallest characters, treating them with the respect they deserve. And that's what makes Chithha special. Eesu is easily Siddharth's most affecting performance till date, and the film provides agency to each of the characters while driving you to rethink notions of heroism, revenge and the mindset of a survivor.
