Iraivi (transl. Goddess) is a 2016 Indian Tamil-language crime drama film written and directed by Karthik Subbaraj[1] and produced by C. V. Kumar, K. E. Gnanavel Raja and Abinesh Elangovan under their banners Thirukumaran Entertainment, Studio Green and Abi & Abi Pictures, respectively.[2] The film features an ensemble cast with S. J. Surya, Vijay Sethupathi, Bobby Simha, Kamalinee Mukherjee, Anjali, and Pooja Devariya playing leading roles.[3][4] The plot revolves around three financially struggling men try to overcome their problems, by getting involved in criminal activities though not realising the impact their efforts are having on the women in their lives.
Karthik Subbaraj drafted the script during the production works of Jigarthanda in September 2013 and took more than a year for its completion.[1] The film was formally announced in September 2014,[1] with principal shooting of the film began in May 2015 and filming completed that September. The film is based on a real life incident from a Christian family, though Subbaraj gave importance to the women characters, so as to influence their characters in the society.[5] The film features music composed by Santhosh Narayanan with cinematography handled by Sivakumar Vijayan and edited by Vivek Harshan.
Iraivi released on 3 June 2016, and received mixed to positive reviews. Critics lauded the performances of the cast, particularly that of SJ Surya and Anjali alongside the technical aspects of the film.[6] However the film did average collections at the box office.[7] In 2017, Anjali was nominated for the Best Actress award at the 2nd IIFA Utsavam awards,[8] and Pooja Devariya received a nomination for Best Supporting Actress award at the 6th South Indian International Movie Awards.[9]
