The Tamil film 'Kottukkaali', directed by PS Vinothraj and featuring Soori and Anna Ben, received critical acclaim upon its theatrical release on August 23, 2024, but struggled at the box office due to competition. The film tells the story of Meena, who faces familial opposition for loving a lower-caste man, leading her family to mistakenly believe she is possessed. 'Kottukkaali' is set to premiere on the OTT platform Simply South for international audiences on September 27, 2024, though no release date has been confirmed for viewers in India. Critics have praised the film for its compelling narrative, performances, and its exploration of themes such as trauma, abuse, and patriarchal norms. The film's unique approach includes no background score, relying instead on sound design to enhance its storytelling. Produced by Sivakarthikeyan, 'Kottukkaali' has already garnered attention in international film festivals, highlighting its global appeal.
