FAQ

The film talks about a girl’s personal freedom, the right to make choices, and how society often clashes with a woman’s individuality. It’s about growing up and finding your own identity.

Not really. While the film stirred debates, it’s essentially an emotional coming-of-age story about Ramya — her love, heartbreak, and fight to be accepted for who she truly

Director Varsha Bharath got strong backing from producer Vetri Maaran and filmmaker Anurag Kashyap, both known for encouraging raw and fearless cinema.

Ramya is not shown as a “perfect” heroine — she makes mistakes, questions traditions, and struggles with choices, which makes her feel more real and relatable.

Because it’s not just a film, it’s a conversation starter about youth, women’s freedom, love, and the hypocrisy in society. It challenges viewers to see beyond labels.
