What happens

Iraivi (transl. Goddess) is a 2016 Indian Tamil-language crime drama film written and directed by Karthik Subbaraj 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. The film features an ensemble cast including S. J. Suryah, Vijay Sethupathi, Bobby Simha, Anjali, Kamalinee Mukherjee and Pooja Devariya. It revolves around three financially struggling men trying to overcome their problems through criminal activities, not realising the impact their actions are having on the women in their lives. Karthik drafted the script during the production works of Jigarthanda in September 2013 and took more than a year for its completion. The film was formally announced in February 2015, with principal photography beginning that May and ending in September, having taken place primarily in Chennai and Wayanad. The film features music composed by Santhosh Narayanan with cinematography handled by Sivakumar Vijayan and edited by Vivek Harshan. Iraivi was released on 3 June 2016 and received positive reviews from critics but did not perform well at the box office. In 2017, Anjali was nominated for the Best Actress award at the 2nd IIFA Utsavam awards, and Pooja received a nomination for Best Supporting Actress award at the 6th South Indian International Movie Awards.
