H Vinoth's Tamil remake 'Jana Nayagan' starring Vijay and Mamitha Baiju is criticized for performative handling of child abuse, mental health, and women's empowerment.
Mamitha Baiju's character Viji lacks agency and is pushed to join the army by her adoptive father, similar to the Telugu original 'Bhagavanth Kesari'.
Viji's phobia from childhood trauma is unrealistically cured mid-fight, and the film offers no holistic solutions like therapy or listening to her wishes.
