Women’s sexual desires have always been misunderstood. Women are often labelled, slut-shamed and called names when they ‘ask for it’ and are made to feel guilty for it. Director Mansore, with the Nathicharami trailer, had set the tone straight. There is a widow in the film, and she asks for it, without commitment, and yeah, she’s not ashamed of it. Gowri (Sruthi Hariharan) is a successful career woman who leads a team in an It firm. She is unable to forget her husband Mahesh (Poornachandra Mysuru), who was killed in an accident about three years ago.
