Actor Won't Rewatch Film That Gave Him 'Best 2.5 Hours'

Actor Sangeeth Prathap, who gained fame for his role in 'Premalu', has expressed a unique sentiment regarding Karthik Subbaraj's film 'Dorothy'. Prathap revealed he intends to never watch the movie again, stating it provided him with the "best two and a half hours of his life." He believes a subsequent viewing would not replicate the profound impact of the initial experience.

'Dorothy' has garnered widespread critical acclaim and commercial success, particularly for its sensitive portrayal of LGBTQIA+ themes. The narrative follows two friends whose lives are transformed by the arrival of Dorothy, a character played by Keerthy Suresh. The film premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival on September 11, followed by a global theatrical release on September 25.

Praised for its blend of dark comedy and melodrama, 'Dorothy' features a notable twist involving a character's transition. Film analysts highlight its profitability and broad appeal, extending beyond major cities. The movie's score by Ilaiyaraaja and cinematography by Thirunavukarasu have also received commendation. It stands out as a bold challenge to transphobia within Indian cinema and society.
