Keerthy Suresh's domination in ' Penguin' criticized in Tamil media

As far as branding goes, the OTT Tamil film ' Penguin' released on June 19 had the best of the names. It had Karthik Subbaraj presenting it, Keerthy Suresh playing the protagonist and Santosh Narayanan adding his musical score to enhance the thrill quotient of the 2-hr plus film.

Over the weekend, the film has got average to below average responses all over. The social media reactions, have in fact, greatly thrilled the theatre owners who want a few more over-hyped films like this to fail and make people wait for the theatres to reopen.

A reputed Tamil daily ' Dinamani' ripped the film by posing a question as to when would the viewers get to see a good Tamil film on OTT platform . It was also referring to the earlier disappointment which the Jyothika starrer 'Ponmagal Vandhal' turned out to be.

The single-handed solving of the mystery by the protagonist like a superhero, despite being seven months pregnant and exhibiting all the frailties that one expects of a woman in that condition has not gone done well with the masses, it appears. If the Tamil banner wanted a reprisal of Vidya Balan's 'Kahani', then they have missed the target completely, aver observers.
