Rating - 2.75/5

A slapstick fun to watch entertainer set on the backdrop of a temple turned out preachy and monotonous.

The director through the story highlights on the minor rifts between couples and how it turns out to be a trauma for the couples, children and the immediate family members when everyone gets dragged into the endless fight.

Pandiraj has conceived a good entertaining story but the way he portrayed it on screen turned out to be too preachy in the initial half. The monotonous activity being done by different characters turned out to be really monotonous for the audience though some subtle humour in between saved the audience from leaving the cinema hall. The second half of the movie was convincing and reflected more on the story plot. The filmmaker has explored on the emotional and mental trauma the couples go through when there is a rift through very beautiful melodious songs.

Splendid performances by Vijay Sethupathi,Nithya playing the power rugged couples and they just spiced up the entire movie through their natural gestures. Good performances from Yogi Babu, Chemban Vinod, Suresh, Thenappan,Kaali Venkat & Ganesan.

Hats off to the music director Santhosh Narayanan for the feel good songs in the movie.

A watchable entertainer that should definitely be attempted by the couples ruling out the flaws.

Excellent family movie , the fights , the story plot , specially acting of both @actorvijaysethupathi and @nithyamenen 👌🏻 apart from these persons acting Deepa akkas performance oriented acting 😯 what a lady 👌🏻

This movie has slow screenplay and some scenes have more length which doesn't suit the Film.

Music - @musicsanthosh on family mode 😌 pure and classical Best to to watch with families.

The movie has no story at all. It's about a couple who fight then makeup then fight and makeup, this keeps going on throughout the movie, tiring everyone out. And everyone is yelling all the time. I saw it on OTT and sound was unbearable. I sympathise with people who saw this in theatre, they must have gone deaf.

The 4 stars are for solid performances by all cast despite the lacklustre script. There are a few funny moments but there is only so much yelling one can take. So movie is a good way to get a headache(Thalavalli).

Just a no-story nonsense movie with just yelling and shouting start to end. I regret that I didn't carry any earplugs. Such a nonsense! I have seen people covering their ears and watching this in agony and regret that they are watching this drama. I always loved movies from Vijay Sethupathi and Nithya Menen but this will be the major red flag in their career.

The film lacked emotional and narrative connectivity due to a poorly written screenplay, which failed to engage the audience or maintain a coherent flow between scenes.

The film struggles to create a strong emotional or narrative connection with the audience due to its weak screenplay.

Scenes often feel disjointed, and the story lacks a smooth, logical flow.

Important plot points are either rushed or underdeveloped, reducing the overall impact.

Despite this, the casting is spot-on, with each actor fitting their role perfectly.

The performances are commendable and could have shined more with a better script,
