Never ever important
This might seem like a usual point, but just because something wrong goes on repeatedly, it does not become right. Mersal has three gorgeous and talented female leads. Kajal, Samantha, and Nithya each have their own success stories and have made a mark in the industry.
Somehow, in Mersal’s audio launch, they became invisible and in those small moments when they did become visible, they were addressed as nothing but extra treats in the movie. It was as though they are useful only because they look pretty. It was Kajal’s 50th film, but no one took an interest. Kajal and Sam looked like the kids who try hard to be noticeable in a gang of bigger children, but no one ever cared.
