A film that begins halfway through and then takes the viewer back through disparate plot strands which eventually coalesce, Aiyai: Wrathful Soul is an ambitious début from Ilanthirayan Alan Arumugam which shows promise but never quite gels. It follows student Kiran (Kabir Singh), who has recently lost his job after a confrontation at work and is relieved to find a new one in a quiet out-of-town funeral parlour where, as they say, none of the customers ever comes back to complain. At least, none has to date. When he arrives and is shown around by friendly boss Albert (Richard Huggert), there are mutterings about a recent departure who might have trouble crossing over. It doesn't seem serious - just the kind of humour that gets people by in the business - but later events will make viewers reconsider the meaning behind those words.
