“Darkness of Summer” depicts the rich ethnographic culture of India’s Irula tribe. It also brings to light their vulnerability and how they easily get trapped into the system of bonded labour and other social evils. the film brings these out through the journey of a newly married couple and the hardships and atrocities that they face because of a brick kiln owner under whom the man works.

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.
The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.
