Paava Kadhaigal is yet Netflix anthology film. This time these short films revolve around a central theme of sin and honour.
The four films have four different take on this concept. Out of the four, Oor Iravu and Thangam are easily better than the other two. Prakash Raj's performance in OorIravu sets a benchmark. Whereas, Kalidas Jayaram's performance in Thangam seems promising. Technically speaking the last film stands out from the rest. The only short film which is edited, directed and performed meticulously. Otherwise every other film has some problems, specially Love Panna Uttranum (2nd short). It has an incoherent screenplay which continuously shifts tone and hence not very pleasant to follow.
Similarly, every other short apart from the last one, seems exploitative of the themes they are presenting. But having said that, this film pushes the envelope of good cinema and poses genuine questions to audience.
A good watch.
