Diary

I like Arulnithi movies for his silent thriller acting... while other heroes are engaged with their commercial movies... Arulnithi always give silent yet superhit movies... That's Arulnithi's style which I like more... In diary one guy surprised me with his emotional acting... who literally made me cry in the climax scene...nobody can match mother's love,it has been beautiful portrayed in this movie... Hey Thanikai you did a great job man, Loved your acting... You have a great future ahead... I wish to see you in more and more movies ... Best wishes for all your upcoming projects - ur new fan.

Such a wonderful suspense thriller. While the story was taking its own shape in the 1st half, the 2nd half of the story brought me to the tip of my seat, traveling back and forth in time and connecting the dots with the unexpected twists was mind blowing. Especially when it kept all of us thinking where did this guy disappear with the bag? The role was really well played by actor Thanikai, which indeed brought us to tears with his emotions. Kudos! To the entire crew..The best part was, watching a good movie which was well narrated. My dad while he walked out, was reminiscing each and every scene and finally said this with satisfaction "oru nalla novel padicha feeling"

Well written script and very well executed screenplay with perfect emotions. From beginning to the end you will feel the seat edge thriller moments.

Director doesn't reveal the plot until the climax its very different and we can't guess it.

Music and BGM was very apt and clear. Movie is visually chill and the plot is based in Ooty.

All the characters in the movie done their part very well. Even the comedy elements works well.

The Bus dues the main role in the movie. Really the camera angles and the VFX inside the bus was superb.

Totally very superb execution. Congrats to the team Diary. Actress pavitra does her part very well.

A super engaging thriller that keeps you gripped till the end. Typical start with as investigation, bit lagged before the interval, took racily and engaging to the climax. The writing has been done intensely, best for the supernatural but could have done more or skipped the romance, jumpscares, and comedy parts. The emotions have been well done and loved the way he has connected everything. Though some scenes were predictable, the twist at the end was perfect, making us forget the flaws in the first half. Arulnithi's performance was top and the soundtrack was at its best, which made it intense in many scenes, yes the cinematography was good too. Color grading and Visual Effects could have been done more better. I loved the way Innasi Pandian made the script. Overall it's a good watch.

Diary is added to one of the serious mystery thrillers in Tamil cinema. The thread here is little complicated, but well potrayed. But it's not perfect or a great one. Flaws like action, unnecessary romantic events of hero and the lead actress, not so funny comedy scenes etc. But even in these negatives, what keeps the movie engaging is the thrilling element in the story. The movie is basically narrated as a rookie inspector of police being assigned to a crime case which happened 16 years ago in the vast areas of ooty. But the unthinkable events happens towards the interval of the movie and can be said that the movie actually picks the real pace from there only. Acting performances felt like average from everyone including arul nidhi. Decent VFX works as well. But still, the story backs all these flaws in the movie. The makers has put the effort not to confuse thr audience in the huge number of events and they were successful in doing that. A good watch. Go for it.
