The TVI Take

Thiagarajan Kumararaja's Tamil anthology weaves four storylines across a single Chennai day: a woman whose lover dies in her bed, a transgender woman returning to her family, a porn-discovered teenage girl, and a faith-healer hustler. The structure isn't Pulp Fiction-derivative, the connection is metaphysical rather than chronological, and the climactic intersection is unearned only if you've missed that the film has been making a point about karma the entire time.
