Maaman

This film feels like a relic from a bygone era, clinging to outdated tropes and lifeless storytelling. The pacing drags unbearably, stretching simple scenes into tedious endurance tests. Dialogue is packed with clichés, making interactions painfully predictable. The characters lack depth, stumbling through forced melodrama. Attempts at comedy fall flat, inducing more secondhand embarrassment than laughter. Predictable twists and contrived conflicts make it exhausting to watch. Ultimately, it's a tiresome ordeal, best avoided unless nostalgia blinds you to its glaring flaws. I don't know why many people gave good rating to this movie, they should try to understand the new generation and give a movie like that.

Maman and Machan's family life is shown through a lens of unrealistic parenting and outdated ideas about raising children. Maman often encourages Machan's mischievous behaviour, treating it as harmless fun, when it comes across as irritating and irresponsible. The film builds an idealised image of their home life, far removed from the real struggles parents face today. Instead of teaching Machan valuable lessons, Maman and the family behave more like his playmates, sending the wrong message to younger viewers. While some may find it charming, the lack of depth and realism makes it hard to connect.

One of best emotional and heart touching family drama I've seen after a long time. Director Prasanth Pandiraj has equally presented every character beautifully with rich Indian culture, family bonding, pain, fight, jealousy, rage and togetherness. The unique concept of the bond between Maama (uncle) and small chubby boy will steal your heart and keeps the "Soul Story" intact.

Soori and Aishwarya shines throughout who are stuck between real life scenarios. Soori's sister, grandpa and granny's acting will hit right to the core! What a gem of a movie filled with comedy and emotions. Watch it on Zee5.

Keep a small bucket to hold your precious tears! Don't miss!

This movie is very unrealistic, boring & extremely cringe... Everything abt the movie is very clumsy , dissociated & forced , added useless songs in between just to kill the 2 hour time & poor screenplay from beginning till end...This is more or less a poorly executed over extended short film..

This is a total disaster & waste of time.

Very rare and pure emotional movie. Hats off to the director for his great work and great emotions. A Must watch movie. After 8 Vasantalu and Hi Nanna movie this is the one which touched my heart and felt emotional in every scene of the movie. This is the Indian cinema that everyone to be watched...
