Ammu (Telugu):

Directed by Charukesh Sekar, Ammu dealt with domestic abuse, yet another very important topic of concern. There has been an increasing case of domestic abuse and violence in India, especially after the COVID-19 lockdown. Dealing with such a topic, Ammu starring Aishwarya Lekshmi truly portrayed the struggle of a victim of domestic violence. While the story could have been written with a little more conviction, the movie had its heart at the right place, trying to create awareness amongst audiences about the problem at hand. With such a heavy topic, performance is an important factor. One scene in the film, where Aishwarya Lekshmi washes her face after she first gets beaten by her husband is a testimony to her performance throughout the film.
