Bleak & utterly depressing, 'Thaniyavarthanam' sends a strong message against superstitions & primitive rituals. You cannot help but feel sorry for the perfectly healthy protagonist as he gets branded, & soon turned into a mad man, by his own family & society. You just want to come alive in the movie, gun down all the ignoramuses around him & rescue him, but you sit helpless knowing that you can't.
