In a particular scene where RJ Balaji asks her hand in marriage, she says he is her thirteenth client. She is a matured, strong-headed girl who is completely focussed on her job throughout the film. Her characterization, despite being one-note, is something we've rarely seen in Tamil Cinema. Priya Anand appears as a Data Analyst for Elections and plays her part well. But, this establishment comes across as preachy and less cinematic, because, if you compile all the dialogues uttered by RJ Balaji and Priya Anand into a speech, the impact would still have been the same. It strongly establishes how social media trends can affect a personality or even the outcome of elections. The film doesn't fall into the conventional way of presenting a story since it uses memes and social media tools to push the plot forward. LKG has in fact avoided a lot of commercial compromises that we see in such political genre films and stays true to it's intent. The story too doesn't meander at any point. However, RJ Balaji is in full form, keeping us engaged throughout. In every way, LKG could have been an overly stretched film that keeps going on and on forever. RJ Balaji's LKG, is a political satire that's based on a wafer-thin plot - the journey of a Ward Councillor becoming the Chief Minister of the State.
