There is the overused scenario of “love failure” in Tamil cinema. Time and time again, we hear the story about a woman breaking up with a man for different reasons and it is primarily the woman’s fault.

"It was after garnering a passion for social justice and feminism that I came to realize the existence of a great deal of misogyny and sexism in the male-dominated Tamil film industry. Now, looking back at the movies I once loved, I cringe in discomfort at the casual sexism. After some years, you would expect there to be a change in the way women are portrayed in Tamil films now. However, I now feel as though it has somehow worsened, with a few exceptions."
