Parvathy Reaffirms Kasaba Criticism Amid Toxic Film ControversyPreviousNext

Actor Parvathy Thiruvothu has reaffirmed her criticism of the 2016 film Kasaba for its portrayal of women, standing by her comments despite facing backlash and career setbacks. Her remarks resurfaced amid controversy over director Geetu Mohandas' film Toxic, which explores psychological themes beyond conventional action. Benedict Garrett, an actor in Toxic, described it as a fairy tale addressing complex social issues. Parvathy emphasized that her views reflect personal opinion and noted prior official scrutiny of Kasaba by the Kerala Women's Commission.
