Keerthy Suresh’s latest film Dorothy has become a talking point on social media following its release today. The Tamil film, starring Sananth and Rishikanth in the lead roles, is directed by Karthik Subbaraj and explores LGBTQ themes through an unconventional storyline.
The film includes intimate sequences between two male characters, which have triggered strong reactions online. A section of Tamil audiences has expressed its displeasure on social media, with some users trolling the film and its makers over the subject and treatment.
Director Karthik Subbaraj has also come under criticism for choosing to explore such a sensitive and bold theme. While the film has faced backlash from certain sections of the audience, it has simultaneously received support from urban viewers who appreciate its attempt to address an LGBTQ-related subject on screen.
Keerthy Suresh, who is associated with the project, has also found herself at the centre of the ongoing online discussion. The contrasting reactions have created considerable buzz around the film immediately after its theatrical release.
With Dorothy receiving sharply divided responses, its performance over the coming days will be closely watched. Audience word of mouth and the film’s ability to connect with a wider section of viewers are expected to determine how its theatrical journey unfolds.
