Paramasivan Fathima

I became an atheist although i believed once upon god over a period of time. Now this movie made me realize bit of originality. A must watch film. For watching this film I subscribed for Aha channel.

And I still beleive in all the religions.

I wish everyone should watch this out. But still this movie contains some unwanted extra romantic scenes which doesn't suit this film.

Director has guts in choosing the subject of religious Christianity conversion. It definitely raised a point on why how the conversions happened. British did the conversions for breaking the country and that is truth. Showing on screen might make some so called secular people to see this as propaganda. It may not be a ground breaking film but also not bad watch. The locations are great and actors did their part. Again this film also not over preachy. I don't think they tried to show any religion in bad light. One time watch.

I went to watch the movie with zero expectation. To my surprise this movie satisfied the movie buff in me. What a guts to the director. Hats off to him. Vimal has lived his character. MS Bhaskar as always has done his part with great conviction. Heroine's character is written very well. Music could have been better but still supports the narration. Liked the crisp editing. Cinematographer has done a tremendous job. Cinematography and dialogues are the real heroes of the film. Thought provoking scenes are a real surprise in a movie as they are rare these days. This movie speaks of a subject which is still considered a taboo in Tamil cinema. That's where this film stands out.

Went into this dumpster fire with ZERO expectations... somehow still left feeling violated. What "guts" from the director? More like what narcissism to think this incoherent mess deserved celluloid. Hats off to him for pioneering new levels of tedium. I wouldn't imaging any pea sized brain human make this kinda of movie.

Vimal didn't "live" his character - he looked like he was sleepwalking through a tax audit. MS Bhaskar "acted with conviction"? Conviction that the paycheck cleared, maybe. The heroine's "well-written character" was just... existing near the camera? Groundbreaking.

The music didn't "support the narration" - it sounded like a dying phone alarm crying for help. "Crisp editing"? More like the film was hacked apart with a rusty spoon. And the "tremendous" cinematographer? Must've filmed it through a tub of vaseline while having a stroke.

"Dialogues are the real heroes"? If by 'heroes' you mean 'war criminals' - each line murdered my brain cells. "Thought-provoking scenes"? Provoked thoughts like When will this end?" and "Why am I paying for this torture?"

Ah yes, the 'taboo subject'. Translation: Shock value plastered over a void of substance. That's not "standing out" - that's exploiting trauma to hide the fact your script is a void. This isn't cinema. It's a public nuisance masquerading as art. Avoid unless you enjoy pondering life's big questions... like how to get 2 hours of your life back.

It doesn't resonate with the expectations created by the teaser and the promotions. Police, Law & Order has been taken for granted, have to clear reasons to believe they are police. Vimal, Bhaskar has done well of what was asked them to do. Other characters definition, back story and justification is a narration that evolves itself into a documentary mode than a feature length movie on a big screen. Actions sequences are neither natural nor justifiable. Music is less than average. Background score doesn't emote along the script. The only plot reveal is the mother's narration which doesn't get along with script. The whole movie was looked like that they budget constraints, time constraints and have not spent quality time on the script. The director has surely let down the audience he ha captured from his last three acclaimed movies. Watchable on OTT and only if you have time. But should appreciate thought provoking concept and this alone will not draw money from pockets due poor execution.
