How could one celebrate the likes of Vetrimaran, Pa.Ranjith, and also this patriarchal casteist movie,” read a remark. “Promoting a movie that essentially pushes women back to the kitchen and promotes a what were you wearing to provoke men culture? Wow your bar has gone so low now??” a person tweeted.

“Unexpected from you sir…most regressive movie blaming women for sexual offenses… kindly watch it and remove the tweet,” said a Twitter user. “Dear Anurag, you are one of the rare quality directors. Kindly don’t promote regressive movies just because natty is your friend. He may be a good cinematographer. This movie is regressive,” commented another person.
