Avihitham OTT release: Here's why you should not miss Senna Hegde's latest film on male gaze

Avihitham, Senna Hegde's most recent directorial, will soon be accessible on JioHotstar and OTTplay Premium. Many people who didn't see the film in theatres since it was only available on a few screens eagerly awaited its digital release. Let's examine some of the reasons you should watch this intriguing drama on streaming platforms.

Reasons to watch Avihitham

Simple narrative set in a small town

In Madhavan's backyard, Prakashan discovers Vinod having an extramarital affair with an unidentified woman. This news quickly goes around, and a group of men—including Madhavan's sons and several locals—take "responsibility" for identifying the "offenders". The main focus of the film is the fallout from all of these.

A satirical look on male gaze

The film explores these topics in a light-hearted manner, attempting to ridicule our society's relentless focus on women. A society that still maintains the idea that women are "in charge of upholding a family's dignity" is portrayed in this film. As the title suggests, Avihitham centres on the confusion and misunderstanding around an adulterous romance. Avihitham portrays these people and their actions in a funny way without coming across as belligerent, but it raises concerns among the viewers about how grave the issue is.

Women's perspective

The makers further highlight the problem of women expecting appreciation from their family or loved ones but being disappointed by their disdainful approach and falling victim to others' rumours. Like in Thinkalazhcha Nishchayam, his previous film, Senna raises the question of whether anyone has ever enquired about a woman's desires or opinions. Avihitham uses a number of female characters to examine how women view respect and love.

Impressive performances

Every cast member provides their best performance, which gives the film a more sincere feel. Unni Raj is entertaining to see as Venu. In addition to him, the other members of the cast, including Dhanesh and Renji Kankol, also succeed in making the audience laugh.
