Histoires d'honneur

A sheer compilation of bloody truths about the so called traditional practices, which are the actual sins of the society in India.

Don't guess that all the 4 shorts are tragedy based on the title and promotions. Vignesh Shivn's short is entertaining and has humor though it covers LGBT. GVMs part has his trademark voice over though I felt someone else could have played the father. Sudha Kongara's short set in the 80s captures brilliantly the love and hate relationship. But, the impactful one is Vetrimaran's last short with brilliant cinematography and Prakash Raj's signature acting. It covers what the whole family has to go through because of the lead lady Sai Pallavi. This anthology is definitely better than the other ones available in Netflix India!!

It is as close to the reality as it could. Be it Sathaar's one-way crush/love, Aadh n Jothi's typical twin fights, Mathi's dilemma of being ostracized and Raj's egoistic honor

Coming to story line, Thangam is pure love. Love Panna is fun revenge. Vaanmagal slightly disturbing. Oor Iravu is absolute honor killing.

Overall, it depicts the women (trans) of India, there are people for them but still they are fighting their own battles. There are few concerned but at the end they are left alone to perish.

Direction - It is unfair to rate the directors, they all did their best. All of them did a good job, its just some story touches you more than the other.

It's been a while since I have seen something as riveting as this from the Tamil movie industry, it takes a lot of heart to make such movies to compensate for all the ills the rest of us choose to ignore just because they are uncomfortable truths, truths that don't fit into the scheme of things that was labelled for us by the past to believe in, as our culture, as our tradition and our way of life. Life is all about the future that you may or may not experience. Every breath you take , every effort that you put in is with the hope that an experience that you have always been seeking awaits you in the end, and that experience would be meaningless if your efforts are burdened with the faults of the past, coming face to face with efforts such as these, efforts that seek your attention towards the present human condition is what will help you experience the future in the way a thinking human being with a lot of heart is meant to.. i appreciate the effort that has gone into making these 4 shorts ...

Brutality doesn't necessarily involve blood and gore. To anyone who haven't actually felt the wrath of India's cruel society, this series hits so hard and intense.

The Four different dark story were all something that exists in our place.

Well directed and great casting work.

MUST WATCH.
