Atti (2016) brings a refreshing blend of humor and drama, set against the backdrop of Triplicane in Chennai. Bava, our protagonist, juggles a water can business and the peculiar art of Gana singing at funerals. The pacing feels organic, leading us through his daily struggles, while the encounters with the local thug Mookuthi add a layer of tension. The film’s atmosphere captures the essence of lower middle-class life, with practical effects that accentuate the authenticity. Performances are sincere, particularly in how they navigate the delicate balance between laughter and life’s harsher realities. There’s a rawness here that feels distinctive, making it stand apart in the indie scene.
