Keerthy Suresh Film Wins Praise: But Will Audience Care?

Dorothy gets praise after TIFF screening

Director Karthik Subbaraj’s indie film Dorothy, starring Keerthy Suresh, Sananth and Rishikanth in the lead roles, is scheduled for a worldwide theatrical release on September 23rd.

Recently, Dorothy was screened at the 51st annual Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) on September 11th, where viewers gave the film a standing ovation.

Pictures and videos from Dorothy‘s screening at TIFF, along with reviews from attendees, are now going viral on social media.

Viewers who watched the film highly appreciated its technical work, especially the cinematography, and noted that Dorothy feels like a stylishly rooted film. They also praised the solid storyline and noted that Karthik Subbaraj’s direction elevated the film to the next level.

It seems Dorothy features a major twist in the pre-climax; while no one has spoiled it yet, most reviewers highlighted this twist as the main highlight of the film.

Following the overwhelming positive response from TIFF many Karthik Subbaraj fans believe that Dorothy will emerge as a commercial success and he will make a solid comeback with Dorothy.

Meanwhile, some trade experts suggest that these festival reviews don’t matter for the general audiences and they don’t care about this, as they claim that for normal audiences, the first day public talk is crucial and these festival reviews will only hype the art film lovers and cinephiles.

Ultimately, it remains to be seen whether Dorothy will satisfy the general audience’s expectations and emerge as a successful venture upon its theatrical release on September 23rd.
