Within a span of two weeks, Tamil cinema has witnessed two films -- "Aadhalal Kadhal Seiveer" (AKS) and "Ponmaalai Pozhudhu" (PP) -- addressing a more or less similar issue openly. The former was lauded for its swift screenplay and the sensitivity with which it handled a domestic issue, while the latter has earned stiff criticism for messing up a promising story in its execution.
