Irumudi gets mixed reviews on Netflix
Irumudi is facing severe backlash after its Netflix release, with a section of viewers calling out the film for its depiction of molestation and sexual abuse.
The scenes involving girls, especially the younger ones, have not gone down well with many viewers. Some feel the film shows these incidents in far more detail than required and that certain portions are simply too disturbing to watch.
The subject itself is not the problem. Irumudi is trying to show the danger and fear faced by girls, and these incidents are part of the film’s story. But the way they are presented has now become a major talking point among OTT viewers.
There are also viewers who feel the film deserves credit for taking up such a sensitive issue instead of staying away from it. But that hasn’t stopped the criticism, particularly over the scenes involving young girls.
