Spoilers ahead…
The crux is that we cannot always rely on braver people to get us justice. Even if we are intimidated by more powerful people, we need to stand up for ourselves.
Yogi Babu is (sadly) so synonymous with body-shaming comedy that it’s wonderful to see him – in Bommai Nayagi – as someone’s object of desire. That someone is his character’s wife, played by Subatra Robert. The family sleeps together at night, with a little girl sandwiched between her mother and father. One night, she wanders off elsewhere, and the wife senses an opportunity for some privacy. She nudges Velu – that’s the Yogi Babu character. He silences her with his version of “not tonight, I have a headache”. The image made me smile, but not for long. This is a man from an oppressed caste and his livelihood comes from working at a tea stall. Life is hard enough, and then it becomes harder when something happens to the daughter.
