Raghu Thatha

Had skipped it in the theaters as it looked like a boring film.

Now it released on zee5tamil. Family was watching , so I also sat down. Not only it is boring, it is like a old tv serial with some old sentiments etc.

I dont know what these studios think nowadays. Who wants to see such a small story dragged into 2+ hours?

Zee5 has many other good films. Do a favour to yourself and watch any of these.

Someone told me kantara people made these movie. Kantara though not in tamil was 10/10. This one even though tamil, even 3/10 is too much for me to give!

Keerthy should choose better movies. Hope her next film is better.

Keerthy Suresh in the titular role is reason enough to watch this film. With a strong ensemble of performers, it's debatable how the movie holds up as a whole.

The story is set in the 1960s, where a rebellious Tamil girl, guided by her strong ideologies and principles, eventually succumbs to patriarchal pressure as her grandfather nears the end of his life.

It's a fun and satirical take on the political climate of Tamil Nadu in the 1960s, particularly the anti-Hindi imposition protests. This sentiment still holds true to some extent today, with the state maintaining its resistance to Hindi. However, the weak screenplay causes the film to lag in many places.

Keerthy Suresh is in her element, delivering the solid performance one would expect from her. Kudos to the unconventional casting of Ravindra Vijay, who excels in his role. MS Bhaskar as the grandfather is decent, while Ismath Banu's well-written character adds organic humor to the film. Rajeev Ravindranathan and Devadarshini Sukumaran play familiar roles, as seen in their previous films, and master these characters.

Special mention goes to the art department, costumes, and cinematography, which bring the era to life in a believable way. The songs are average, and the comedic sequences work in parts. However, multiple plot threads feel too cinematic, reducing the believability of the story. The climax, in particular, feels overly dramatic and rushed.

As a debut work from director Suman Kumar, it's a decent effort, though it falls short of being truly gripping. Overall, it's an average movie, suitable for a lazy afternoon watch.

RATED 7/10 Language: Tamil Source: Nil Media Partner: Zee5

Good time pass, lighthearted drama. Some dialogs are very nice, and the comic moments worked out well in required places. Even though they tried hard in good making, the serial type of background score spoiled the fun.

The first and last few scenes are unnecessarily stretched. If they trimmed down around 20 mins, this would be a crisp watch. Because of these 20 mins dragging, the viewers lose focus and search for remote button...

The social message on Feminism is carried forward from starting to end. They used Hindi for marketing and some fun moments.... if they added more comic and stressed message, it would have given good impact, now it passed as another light drama...

One time watchable.

It flopped in the theaters . No I know why.

Saw it on zee5 last evening.

Story and execution very poor.

Keerthy acting is good. Other actors also ok.

Too long for such a silly story. Tested my patience.

Comedy is good at only some places.

Pace is very laggy and slow at various points. Writing could have been better.

Treatment is also like an old movie of 70s or 60s. Does not have the modern look and style. Maybe only old people might watch it.

No wonder Malayalam cinema is delivering so much better films nowadays. Tamil is only commercial masala or headless chicken like films like this one.

Waste of time.

Good movie to watch with family

Plus:.

Natural acting by Keerthi Suresh, MS baskar and co actors Good screen play Good background music.

Twist in interval No cinematic fights irritating love scenes Simple comedy with on flow comedy No sexual scenes so we can watch with family Good climax with good finishing

Minus : Some Loop holes Songs making slow down the movie Some cinematic scenes Little bit lagging in second half

Totally without expecting much we can watch this movie with family So good movie to watch family and children I am recommending this surely we can watch this movie one time.
