I recently watched the Tamil movie Hot Spot and while I commend the director for thinking outside the box, the film left me with mixed feelings. It's clear that the movie was crafted with care and a desire to tackle significant societal issues, but I found the approach somewhat heavy-handed.

The movie is divided into four stories, each tackling a controversial subject. While the intent is noble, the stories sometimes felt like they were chosen more for their shock value than for their narrative coherence.

First Story: It delivers a strong message about a global issue that transcends geographical boundaries. The critique of societal inequality is relevant, but the suggestion that equality (almost communism) might be the solution seems overly simplistic and idealistic.

Second Story: This segment challenges age-old societal norms, particularly those around tradition. It's thought-provoking, leaving the audience to draw their conclusions

Third Story: A fantasy narrative that attempts to criticize male chauvinism under the guise of gender equality. While the intent is clear, it felt somewhat forced the same gender equality from the first in a very different way different theme

Fourth Story: This final segment addresses a heartbreaking societal issue, portraying it in a brutally emotional way. The depiction of how societal pressures and the desire for a comfortable life can drive parents to desperate actions was powerful but also deeply unsettling.

In summary, Hot Spot is a well-made film with commendable intentions. Very adult themes, certainly not a family with kids watch. However, the way the stories were stitched together left me feeling more uncomfortable than engaged. While I can appreciate the craftsmanship, the overall experience was less enjoyable due to the heavy-handed treatment of the themes.

It is a 4 short stories, features different plots and handling different issues of the society.

It is an adult movie,so they handled those stories in the adult comedy ways, its not like they are abusing the adult content or speaking vulgar stuffs like in the tailer.

The core of this movie is to make awareness about the stuffs we are thinking that its normal, but its not.

It was like normalizing child marriage and we didn't realize its. This story souly handling the ups and downs, rights and wrongs, dicision making on your own.

Most people just ignores the movie just cause of the trailer, first of all,the trailer is to indicate that we are supporting the stuffs we shouldn't ,just like the dialogues in the trailer.

This movie has a potential if you give it a try, just dont spit your food before eating it. You will regret later.

4 stories made together each having a social message, gets you thinking and also reflecting, movies like The Great Indian Kitchen, Gargi, Jai Bhim, Fandry all stay with you long after you have finished watching them, Hot Spot also shall stay with you long after you have finished watching it and will get you questioning a lot of things, these movies may have not been easy to make and could have also witnessed lots of roadblocks but I am glad that these are made and available on OTT platforms.

Until someone does something for the first time, Everything will be practically impossible, Someone should bring a change for the first time and we should be that someone, be the first in everything that bring about a good change for everyone.

Not a movie to be missed! I wasn't sure about this movie before I picked it but this one is beyond my expectations and made my weekend! All credits to the director! I just happened to realize this director has consistently given some of the best movies in recent times! Extremely unique concepts! The segments were like a breathe of fresh air to Tamil cinema! Perfect casting! Personally I liked Janani's story the most! I'm wondering how this gem haven't reached much audience! I'm looking forward to more good movies from Vighnesh Karthik! It felt good to see the Gowri Kishan and Adithya couple back on screen! They always have a beautiful chemistry! Anthology segment of them is also worth mentioning!
