While Darshan’s The Devil is getting all the attention from Kannada audiences this week, another film is gearing up for a release in the same window. Peutwhich is a rooted film, is set to hit the screens on December 12. The film is centred around the emotional, physical, and social impact of alcohol addiction. It examines what it means to fall, how one can rise, and the harsh stigma faced by those labelled as peotus.
In an interview, the team discussed why their film deserves attention, even with a major release happening at the same time. “One who doesn’t need a specific time to drink, those who are drawn to alcohol, society calls them ‘peotus’. I have seen addiction up close, but I have always wondered about the pain they endure and why they drink. This film is born from that curiosity and empathy,” said director Karthik Raj.
