Chathuram is a character-driven drama that challenges traditional gender roles by shifting power from an abusive husband to his wife. However, the film focuses on a narrow domestic setting, lacking representation of LGBTQ+ identities or multi-ethnic perspectives. While physical disability drives the plot, it isn't always shown as a fully realized character trait. The film focuses on the volatility of domestic life rather than broader social issues.
