The women: What Vijay's Bigil can learn from Ajith's Nerkonda Paarvai

India Today  

2019 is one of the very few years that gave us strong women characters in Tamil cinema. Nerkonda Paarvai, which is a remake of Hindi blockbuster Pink, addressed women's safety, consent, double standards in society, sexism and patriarchy. Vijay's character Michael heads a women's football team and tries to address several pressing issues such as body shaming, patriarchy and harassment, but within the contours of a commercial film. The women in Nerkonda Paarvai played by Shraddha Srinath, Abirami Venkatachalam and Andrea Tariang are flawed yet strong and independent. Despite a huge star like Ajith as the face of Nerkonda Paarvai, H Vinoth refrained from using his stardom to convey messages about women safety for the most part of the film.
