‘Bommai Nayagi’ movie review: Yogi Babu excels in this impressive take on justice and judiciary
The HinduAn arrhythmic arrangement of musical notes that eventually becomes an ascending scale; this is how one can picture the tempo of writer-director Shan’s Bommai Nayagi. For Velu, his wife Kayalvizhi, father, mother, and above all, his daughter Bommai Nayagi are the world and he is busy gathering money to buy his own stall. Bommai Nayagi narrates the tale of a difficult fight that a father and a mother are forced to face when their nine-year-old daughter is sexually abused by influential men. Bommai Nayagi Director: Shan Cast: Yogi Babu, Srimathi, Subatra, GM Sundar, Aruldoss Runtime: 125 minutes Storyline: A father and a mother have to fight a long, draining battle through the courts when their nine-year-old daughter is sexually-abused While there have been many titles that explored the different facets of injustice and the systematic oppression that some sections of society are subjected to, Bommai Nayagi speaks about ‘justice beyond the courts’.
