Sudhakaran, a seventy-year-old man moulded by a male centric society from his childhood is a male chauvinist by nature. He gets to face situations where the society and his family questions his attitude towards opposite sex.
Thimiram (Cataract) takes no prisoners and is extremely brutal in its picturization of male chauvinism. It wouldn't have been possible without K K Sudhakaran's deadpan performance, which is only second to the casually ridiculing undertone that the film is set in. The film is divided into three parts, the third part not doing any justice to what it preludes, but together they still give a virile depiction of how misogyny is born, how it manifests, and what it looks like to different people. **6 stars**.
