Throw in police brutality, blatant discrimination and the use of what eagle-eyed netzines called a 'communal symbol' on a calendar (digitally-altered to a safer image of Goddess Lakshmi after the controversy broke), and you have a formula for fireworks. It deals with issues we would rather bury or sweep under the nearest chattai - primarily, caste issues. Why? Because it hits home! It reflects the ugly truth about our society.
A Tamil film titled Jai Bhim, directed by TJ Gnanavel, starring superstar Suriya playing real-life activist-lawyer Chandru, has triggered off a tempest in a boiling cauldron - not a tiny tea cup. Strange how a controversy over a movie you have not watched can make you hit the pause button and wonder what happened to create so much social media chatter.
