Misogynistic films are there in Indian cinema from time immemorial and now the perspectives are deliberately trying to be shifted and still why just “Pulimurugan” to be analysed for its portrayal of women?

For the much-revered National award-winning actor Mohanlal who is known for his natural portrayal of roles, this became a feather in the cap again as its collection went above 150cr and he was also lauded for the stunts he performed for the film (given his age and physique).
