The female protagonists in the movie keep contemplating the notion of getting drenched in the rain. The director has used rain to symbolizes the liberation of women. At the end, one woman gets drenched in rain, another chooses not to.

The movie of SJ Suryah,the release of which he relentlessly fights for in the movie, is titled May 17th. May 17th, as rightly pointed out by director Ram, marks the final day of the battle between Tamils and Lankan forces in Sri Lanka.

There is a point in the film where Bobby Simha plans to rob statues of female goddesses. The reason he gives for this is as follows: “It’s a shame that they are locked up inside old temples. They deserve to be in a place where they are appreciated.” A perfect metaphor for womankind in our society.

The prison uniform of Vijay Sethupathi which is shown to be hung to dry in a scene, floats off in the wind, symbolizing his release.

When SJ Suryah comes to talk to Vijay Sethupathi and asks him whether he will work for him for one last time, a monkey toy does a somersault, symbolizing the changeover of thought process inside his head

The statue with which Vijay sethupathi kills Bobby Simha is an idol holding a 'sangu'. A shot covers the statue extensively, symbolizing his impending death.
