Seeman Praises 'Dorothy' for Transgender Story

Naam Tamilar Katchi chief coordinator Seeman has commended Karthik Subbaraj's directorial film 'Dorothy' for shedding light on neglected societal aspects. Seeman specifically praised the team for tackling the sensitive subject of transgender lives and social issues with emotion and care. He noted the film's setting in rural Tamil Nadu during the 1990s, a period marked by caste-based violence.

Seeman also extended his appreciation to music composer Ilaiyaraaja for his impactful score and to the actors, including Keerthy Suresh, Sanath, Rishikanth, and Muthukumar, for their performances. He emphasized the importance of cinema in fostering understanding and respect for diverse lives and rights. The film, which was successful in theaters, is now accessible on Netflix.

He expressed a desire for more Tamil films like 'Dorothy' that advocate for acceptance and challenge societal injustices such as casteism and patriarchy. Seeman highlighted that art should promote empathy and encourage society to respect individuals and their right to live authentically.
