StoryLine:

It’s not an exaggeration to say that Over-the-Top platforms in India have gone over-the-top with anthology films. Most of these have been around uninspiring themes, with more misses than hits in the lineup. Victim: Who is Next?, now streaming on SonyLIV, breaks the monotony by giving us four twisty thrillers that play around with the question of victimhood, agency and redemption.Victim Season 1 Download

Shot during the COVID-19 pandemic, each film is mostly set in one location. Dhammam (compassion), by Pa Ranjith, unfolds in an agricultural field; Mirrage, by Rajesh M, is set in a spooky guesthouse; Kottai Pakku Vathalum Mottai Maadi Sitharum, by Chimbudevan, makes use of an apartment building; Confession, by Venkat Prabhu, shifts between a flat and a hi-rise building. Interestingly, only one of the four films has the pandemic in the backdrop (and thank god for that because we’ve really had enough).Dhammam is about a spunky little girl who is trying to entertain herself as her father works in the field. Ranjith captures her playfulness, her innate unwillingness to bend to rules set by other people, as she moves from one activity to another. Not even the Buddha idol watching over the field is spared. Kema (Poorvadharani, who played a crucial role in Karnan) climbs on his shoulder and tries to soar, as her father (Guru Somasundaram in fine form) is affronted by her show of disrespect. He has no answers for her logical questions though, so he uses his authority as an adult to silence her. Except, she won’t be silenced.The father-daughter equation isn’t an idyllic, rural scene. It is free of the saccharine undertones that typically define these moments in our cinema. Kema is happy muddying her skirt, searching for a murrel fish (shot beautifully), but when a dominant caste man (Kalaiyarasan) expects her to step into the same mud to make way for him, she refuses. It’s a simple act of rebellion that spirals into horrifying consequences – but if you’ve followed Ranjith’s filmography closely, you will know better than to expect the ‘victim’ to take things passively.
