Star

The hero has everything going for him - a supportive family and two women who passionately love him. His desire to become an actor is dashed by a facial scar, which causes him to retreat into a shell. Does he beat the odds and come out on top? Lal and Kavin deliver outstanding performances as father and son in Tamil #StarMovie. Every young man would want his dad to be like Lal after seeing this film. However, Kavin comes across as an egocentric individual who consciously acts against his own best interests and makes bad judgments that will ultimately hurt him. Running time needs to be reduced by 15 minutes. Rating 3/5.

Expected to see a fun, coming-of-age drama related to the struggles of an aspiring actor, ended up seeing more of a sentimental journey with its share of ups and downs (~unfortunately more downs than ups). Both the love stories in the film, while neatly performed, had problems in the writing. The "acting" struggles barely scratch the surface, and the screenplay rushes through these parts to focus on the protagonist's personal, physical, and mental hardships. While the writing feels somewhat derivative, the production design and locations carry a lived-in feel.

Lal puts in a worthwhile performance as the protagonist's father, even when his dialect seems to be a persistent bother. Kavin gets to showcase more of his acting chops here and proves he's ready to be moulded in the hands of Tamil cinema's capable filmmakers. The leading ladies (Preity Mukhundan and Aditi Pohankar) have good screen presence, and I'd love to see them featured more (in better scripts, i.e.). Aside from Kavin, the real star of the film is Yuvan. The songs and the score blend seamlessly with the visuals.

Great camera work and sound work . Kavin lifts the film to the next level with his promising acting. All the characters had given their 100% potential . Yuvan Shankar raja's music is very magical . Lal steals the show with his supportive father character

As a Cinephile I loved this film . The vintage setup felt very real . Ideology of showing Grandma without face and her death scene brilliant . The first half steals your heart with many brilliant new kinda elements. The risky step in climax was very good I wasn't able to predict the climax so it worked for me very well. The length of the movie is a bit long . But no scene is useless , every scene develops the character. Some say the second half is boring but it establishes the bond between the hero and second heroine which makes the climax more effective. A good watch film . Check it out.

A good performance by Kavin and cast crew. Director Elan work looks promising 👍. Cinematography and editing also looking great.

YSR's music is the backbone to the movie. Screenplay little bit slow but it went in a good note.

Once again editing very nice and the dialogues are very strong. Lal character has writtened well. The emotional scenes connecting and worked out well.

Particularly this movie highlighted scenes are starting,interval and the climax. Lot of scenes and frames are giving goosebumps in theatre.

A Neat and good emotional drama film. The movie looks overall motivational and watchable. This one is going to be a sureshot hit.

RATED 6/10 Language: Tamil Source: Amazon prime

The movie has all potential including cast, director, music and nice touch on story, but still failed as a movie. Its very unfortunate to fell short of to orchestrate this great assembling... Totally missed opportunity.

1: They failed to convey the struggling of hero to become star... just roaming around Bombay streets without money not at all add any value 2. Two heroines and both of their love and separation was handled very badly... moving from one pair to another pair is just like tuning one page to another page.... 3. Lot of places you can still feel the serial drama making and cliche dialogs and run off the mill scenes...

The only good point I can see that the connection between first and last scene... it was ultimate. Its really touched and I rated 6 just because of this scene...
