Trauma is a 2025 Tamil-language crime thriller written and directed by Thambithurai Mariyappan. The film features Vivek Prasanna as Sundar, an affluent individual whose life takes a perilous turn during fertility treatments with his wife, Geetha, portrayed by Chandini Tamilarasan. Simultaneously, the narrative follows Selvi (Poornima Ravi) and Jeeva (Prathosh) as their romantic involvement leads to unforeseen complications. As these characters’ paths cross, they become ensnared in a complex web orchestrated by a clandestine criminal organization, unraveling themes of deception and psychological turmoil.
Upon its release on March 21, 2025, “Trauma” received mixed reviews from critics. While some praised Vivek Prasanna’s nuanced performance, others criticized the film’s implausible plot developments and lack of coherence. The Times of India noted that the central scheme involving fertility clinics raised several unanswered questions, leading to a disjointed narrative. News18 highlighted the film’s attempt to advocate for child adoption but felt it served merely as a means to an end. Cinema Express remarked that the movie suffered from weak character arcs and failed to leave a lasting impact.
