Victim will stream on SonyLIV.SonyLIV on Tuesday unveiled the teaser of upcoming movie Victim. It is a four-part anthology that brings together some of the brightest minds of Tamil cinema. Filmmakers Venkat Prabhu, PA Ranjith, Chimbudevan and Rajesh M have each directed one short film in the anthology.
The trailer suggests that the anthology is an ensemble of four different genres. Rajesh’s Mirrange is said to be a thriller that revolves around a single woman stuck in a strange place. Chimbudevan seems to have stuck to his favourite genre: fantasy drama. His short Kottai Pakku Vathalum..Mottai Maadi Sitharum! talks about a supernatural human, who is said to have lived for over 400 years. Well, it could also be a ruse. It’s worth noting that Chimbudevan had written and directed the four-part anthology Kasada Tabara last year, which was directly released on SonyLIV.
Pa Ranjith’s short Dhammam is set against the backdrop of a village. And it seems to explore the class and caste struggle over a piece of farming land.
Venkat Prabhu’s Confession seems like an urban thriller that deals with a hostage situation. A sniper has held a woman at gunpoint and he seems to be in the mood for a long chit-chat. The premise reminds us of the 2002 American movie Phone Booth.
