How many guys can relate to the Dhanush (Karthick) character in the movie Mayakkam Enna?

Not just the Dhanush (Karthick) after marriage (for which the director says it’s his accident that made him that way) but the entire persona.
I am sure a lot of men!

Unfortunately, even without the accidental fall, many men in our society can relate to how they treat their wife in the movie.
This is our society. We live in a society where a sizeable amount of men

- Use crude abusive words and insults people they love. Dhanush (Karthick) in this movie calls the heroine “ ava galeeju  machan “ just to prove he is faithful to his friend . A scenario quite common  in our household   where  the men trash their wife so that other  people can feel secure of the man’s  love.

- Get totally drunk when  they face day-to-day  failures  and get intimate with their wives even when she is dejected and lifeless .
These  issues in the society are what  Selvaraghavan brings up  to the screen.

But he shows  the dark side of human nature and takes immense effort to  make it sound C-O-O-L .
Take for example ,

Scene 1:

The scene where Richa (Yamini) starts an argument  and also drags  Dhanush (Karthick)  dad’s name into the conversation.

Dhanush(Karthick) replies   “don’t you know her mom “  and  make gestures to suggest her mom is a prostitute.

 I  can hear a lot of guys who watched the movie say  “she asked for it “ since she is the one who started it.

But one forgets that Richa (Yamini) was not vulgar but Dhanush(Karthick) was.

A tried and tested formula to shut a woman’s mouth  with vulgarity and say “she asked for it “.

The director feels the hero is  a nice sincere guy  who is passionate about his work and faithful to his friend. Yet such nice man  don’t  feel the need to  apologize (even when it involves calling the girl’s mom a prostitute suggestively)
Selva has  his  “C-O-O-L” stamp on  all such scenes.

“adra avvala , odada avala , vidra avvala  thevayea illa  “  is just the icing on the cake.

Scene 2 :

The scene where Shankar (Dhanush’s friend)  tells Richa (Yamini)  to divorce her husband and stay with him like a wife in a flat in  T.Nagar. She simply says  “ You are not married ,that is what is making you talk this way “.

Really ??????? Only the man’s hormone is to be blamed  for  lusting after  dear friend’s wife  ?????

Her husband will never see the day of the light to know  that one of his friends was a low-life scum who hit on his wife.

Yes!!!!... that’s   the ideal women ….. who cannot  break the friendship of her husband’s and  let the husband rather live in an illusion about his friend.

In a gist,

7G RAINBOW COLONY  and Mayakkam Enna have established a kind of social scenario and a CULT where

1.       The man can be cool ( drink a lot ,smoke, lust after women (it’s just his hormones at play so we got to take it easy ..),be loud and verbally abusive  without being apologetic.

2.       It’s the women in his life who has to be sensuous and give herself  to the man  and make the first bold move. (which is Selva’s signature style)

3.       The women have to be the ultimate goodie. You can never see regular  good women in Selva’s movies. Only men get to be  play regular /below- average guy  (character- wise).

4.        Its only  when a women gives her 100% to the man in her life, she gets to see the  changes in her man .

In fact  in Selvaraghavan’s interview with Madan he said  “He is happy in his life and he fully appreciates the kind of  women who takes the extra effort to give the man a push  from behind the  head. He did take a moment to mention -Not like the kind that simply stands behind “ 

Wow! Mr.Selvaraghavan!. Our society already expects women to  be perfect and happy with not- so- great men.

Don’t you think you are making it even harder for us by making every young  man to expect a wife like Richa (Yamini).This is coming from a person who is already all that your heroines are.

But do you know we women are not happy being the way we are...!

If you want to give credit to woman, just don’t make the  men with dark shades in his character  look “C-O-O-L” and  try hard to avoid sexist views .

I am sure the two director women in your family can help you understand our thoughts.

Hope  to see  a movie  from Selvaraghavan  where men are highly virtuous (like the heroines) and are blissfully  in love with their  average natured women. There are movies like this in the past.

Well its up to the directors in movie industry to make a sensibility call and not allow this dangerous CULT  to  be nurtured.
