Gatta Kusthi 2 Movie Review & Rating: Sure, one shouldn’t judge a movie before watching it all the way through. Who knows, what if some kind of mind-blowing subversion is placed at the end, which fully changes our perception of the work? Sure, every film deserves a chance to tell its story fully before being subjected to scrutiny. But consider this scenario: In the hero’s intro scene in a movie that pretends to promote women’s empowerment, we see him powering through a crowd of women who have gathered around a tanker lorry to collect water. In the rush, his head gets stuck between the hips of two women (No, I am not joking). The shot is framed in such a way that we see his face sandwiched between them, and to escape, he performs the “noble act” of pinching one of their hips.

Watch Maaman Deleted Scene: A missing piece from Inba and Akka’s world that’s filled will love and laughter

Published by Parlour News

Tamil film Maaman released worldwide on 16th May 2025 in theaters and is getting a positive response. Amidst the film’s grand release, the makers have uploaded a deleted scene that gives a glimpse into the everyday life of Inba (played by Soori) and his wife Rekha (Aishwarya Lekshmi). Set in their modest village home, the scene beautifully captures a heartwarming moment of Inba, who attempts to assist Rekha with household chores.

Maaman movie review: It’s 2025, but family dramas continue to slap women back into ‘place’ | Movie-review News

Published by Parlour News

Maaman movie review: Men are such ‘cute’ creatures, aren’t they? They’re at their cutest when apologising; you know, after having ignored the women in their lives for the longest time, disregarding their feelings, prioritising everyone and everything else, manipulating and gaslighting them whenever they raise questions, and even embarrassing or harassing them in public. What truly elevates the ‘cuteness’ is the tagline that often accompanies their apology, “(Regardless of being a complete douche), I have nothing but love for you.” Arey wah! Who wouldn’t want the chance to forgive such ‘cuties’ — the very ones who’ve long served as the safety net for Indian filmmakers specialising in family dramas? And now, there’s a new ‘cutie’ in town, Inba (Soori), the ‘hero’ of Maaman, director Prasanth Pandiyaraj’s spin on the age-old misogynistic template that once helped many celebrated makers churn out massive blockbusters. What’s even more ‘funny’ is that just as the condition of women in these movies remains unchanged, so too does the way the stories are envisioned and written. For Inba, his family, particularly …
