In the vibrant world of South Indian cinema, Ammu stands out as a compelling narrative that delves deep into the shadows of toxic masculinity and patriarchal norms. Directed by Charukesh Sekar, this Telugu-language drama thriller, released on Amazon Prime Video in October 2022, offers a raw portrayal of domestic abuse and a woman’s journey to reclaim her life.

Challenging Societal Norms and Patriarchy

Ammu introduces us to Amudha, affectionately known as Ammu, portrayed by the talented Aishwarya Lekshmi. Her marriage to Ravi, a police inspector played by Naveen Chandra, initially appears idyllic. However, the facade soon crumbles, revealing Ravi‘s descent into abusive behavior—a manifestation of deep-seated patriarchal attitudes and toxic masculinity.

The film doesn’t shy away from depicting the harsh realities many women face in patriarchal societies. Ammu‘s initial silence and endurance reflect the societal pressure on women to maintain familial harmony, even at the cost of personal suffering.

The much-awaited sequel to the 2013 Tamil cult classic Soodhu Kavvum is coming to theaters soon. Titled Soodhu Kavvum 2: Naatum Naatu Makkalum, it is expected to continue the quirky essence of the original, which was a massive hit and received critical acclaim upon its release.

Though the veteran freedom fighter has aged, he still has the vigor and acumen to punish the enemies of the nation, utilizing the traditional art of Varma Kalai as his lethal weapon.

Ammu(Telugu, Amazon Prime)

Written and Directed by Charukesh Sekar

Debutant director Charukesh Sekar’s film is not to be taken lightly. It deep-dives into the disease of domestic violence, and comes up with disturbing images of a dark unspoken tragedy which is sadly the truth behind many seemingly peaceful marriages.

Ammu rips open the happy-home façade, to expose the ugly truth within. A reviewer writing on the film grumbles about the husband Ravi(brilliantly played by Naveen Chandra) taking too long to expose his true colours. Let us disabuse the misconceptions on abuse. Domestic violence emerges with time only. The film with cohesive acumen, lays bare Ravi’s fangs as Ammu settles into domesticity.

Without beating around the bush let’s say it here and now. Aishwarya Lekshmi is a coiled-up powerhouse in this hardhitting ,in more than one, film about abuse and its aftermath. Lekshmi wraps her persona around her character,...

ReviewTrembling, vulnerable, and oscillating between standing up for herself and giving the marriage another chance, Aishwaya carries the film on her shoulders.Sowmya RajendranA hand lights candles slowly one by one, the flickering flame offering hope in the dark. At the end of it, we see Ammu’s glowing face. She’s the bride-to-be. Directed by Charukesh Sekar, Telugu film Ammu is a familiar story in society but not on screen. Aishwarya Lekshmi plays the titular character, a young woman caught in a violent marriage. If Jasmeet K Reen’s Darlings took the route of satire to lay out the psyche of a woman who undergoes domestic violence, Ammu paints a realistic portrait of it. Circle Inspector Ravindranath (Naveen Chandra) is an upright officer who is capable of showing sensitivity to survivors of sexual violence. He’s a loving and romantic husband who takes his responsibility towards his wife seriously.
