Deep Dive

Anniyan (Stranger) showcases Sujatha's ability to weave psychology, social commentary, and mass entertainment into a single narrative. The story of Ambi — a law-abiding citizen whose frustration with societal corruption manifests as alternate violent personalities — is both a character study and a scathing critique of Indian civic life. The screenplay gave Vikram one of his most challenging roles and became a cultural phenomenon.
