Harshini Sabesan on Chola
Chola is one important film that has questioned the stigma associated with Virginity and purity of women. Set with very minimal characters the film gives a great impact. From outlook, it feels to be a story of a girl, who steps out of her village without her mother’s knowledge for a trip to nearby town with her boyfriend, to her surprise her lover is accompanied by a stranger – who instinctively seems to be a danger to her. In her return journey her instincts work and the biggest nightmares of a woman come true. Was awestruck with Nimisha Sajayan’s performance. Music and cinematography attributes the film so well.
