Aan Paavam Pollathathu

Aan Paavam Pollathathu

Siva, an IT professional from Chennai, marries Sakthi from Coimbatore after a progressive courtship where both admired each other's gender‑equality values. She mentions she is tired of her father's orthodox views. Siva shares a cigarette with Sakthi, symbolising their modern mindset. They marry and get settled into Siva's apartment. After about 400 days, Siva visited lawyer Narayanan to file for divorce. The first friction arises when Sakthi removed her thali, which Siva interpreted as a breach of a cultural norm. Later, she refused to cook dinner, insisting Siva join her in cooking. Siva was prioritising his work, while she spent time creating content for Instagram. Their arguments increased with Siva thinking Sakthi was spending lavishly and hiring a housemaid without consulting him. Lawyer Narayanan brushes off these issues as they are trivial and common marital disagreements and insufficient for divorce. Siva then hints that more serious incidents followed. The first clash erupts at a relative's family function. Sakthi naïvely sits with one leg crossed over the other and is wearing a saree with a sleeveless blouse, which the elders from village deem as disrespectful. Siva's parents ask him to tell her to sit without crossing her legs. When he does, she points out that Siva's relatives are at fault for staring at her and refuses to change.
