Evaluation
As they are saying, the primary one to talk sounds true till you hear the opposite facet. In Scorching Spot, there isn’t a different facet. Solely the facet of the ladies. And director Vignesh Karthick presents it with such conviction, not even realising that the model of the opposite half is totally lacking.
All the ladies within the first three tales of the movie are made to look as victims. And all the boys, accomplices or helpless spectators at greatest and villains at worst.
Other than these two varieties, there’s a third class of males that’s showcased. That is the class of the poisonous male who will get reformed. So, what is that this reformed male who turns progressive do? He insists that he too will put on a mangalsutra like his spouse for the sake of equality.
What’s extra, he would, after marriage, need to stay in a house whereby the dad and mom of each the bride and bridegroom stick with them. Else, he would desire a system the place the bride and the groom keep in the home of the dad and mom of 1 associate for a month after which stay with the dad and mom of the opposite associate for the following month.
However then, if marriage by itself is an establishment that has been created by males for the sake of their egocentric pursuits, should not progressive males boycott the establishment of marriage as an entire and cease getting married within the first place?
The second story is one during which the director desperately bats for what would qualify as incest.
However it’s the third story that basically makes you sit up and be aware of the misandry that’s on provide. The movie’s visuals make it seem as if having intercourse for a male intercourse employee is enjoyable and that he’s paid to have enjoyable.
This aside, there are a number of logical questions for which the movie doesn’t have convincing solutions. For example, one wonders how in an IT agency, a digital camera could be put in in a restroom, even by mistake? The scenario introduced within the movie dents its credibility.
However, the movie does drive residence some exhausting info regarding the difficulties that ladies face in marriages. For that, it wins brownie factors.
In all, Scorching Spot is a feminist movie that raises extra questions than it supplies solutions.
