To Let (2019): A film about a social-economic problem told through powerful metaphors and imagery

The first thing that came into my mind when I first finished watching to let (2019) is that Chezhiyan has created a film that perfectly draws the line of artistic cinema. What I mean by this it perfectly sits on a narrowing line between artistic cinema and commercial cinema even though at the end it will be categorized as “mainstream cinema” because Tamil cinema does not have a so called “parallel cinema” like in Malayalam and Bengali. No matter what type of film one makes it must be made for the mainstream there has never been any way around this. So, when looking at to let it has this significance of being closest to what we can call artistic cinema in the Tamil Industry and Chezhiyan manages to create a remarkable film of a specific social-economic problem.
