Pattathu Arasan

So basically the hero's dad only obeys his father (played by Raj kiran) and he doesn't respect or heed his own wife's(Raadika) advice to not go out in the middle of night to play kabadi like that (especially when he got woken in the middle of sleep by his father). But he goes because he "has to obey his father". I understand he is in a joint family, but can't he think for himself and for his wife and child? Well he plays kabadi and dies in the game.

Then the hero's cousin also dies because of kabadi, not even 10 mins later the hero motivates the whole family to play kabadi. His mother rightfully says no for him to play but he emotionally blackmails her by attempting suicide??!? So she agrees.

What is this movie?? I think if they gave up on this game and instead focused on nurturing their relationships and improving their communication would have been much better family movie.
