Paranthu Po / Fly Away

Overall you will enjoy the movie.. but too much unrealistic scene which made me rate this low..

How will you remember your childhood crush?

, will the parents allow the kid to roam as per his wish ? Really ? In this world .. could have had some other ways of doing.

Which family allows a stranger and his son in the bunglow and ask them to dance..

Many open ending scene.

There were lots of light moments, good message in the movie.

Parandhu Po is a breath of fresh air that takes flight not just in its title, but in its soul. Director Ram, known for his grounded and emotionally stirring narratives, crafts a warm, insightful, and gently humorous tale that speaks to both the child and the adult in us.

The film follows the journey of an 8-year-old boy who is often left locked inside his home by his well-meaning but overworked parents. What begins as a mundane routine takes a delightful turn when a series of unexpected events allows him to break free. Not just from the four walls of his home, but from societal expectations, loneliness, and monotony.

What sets Parandhu Po apart is its effortless blend of innocence and introspection. From climbing a hilltop in search of wonder, to diving into temple waters with unfiltered joy, to an endearing interaction with Shiva's childhood crush, and even orchestrating a hilarious moment where his father ends up stuck on a tree - every scene feels alive and deeply symbolic. The boy's small adventures become metaphors for larger themes: the need for attention, the cost of modern parenting, and the subconscious longing for nature and community.

The film does not preach - instead, it gently nudges. Ram's writing and direction weave in powerful themes such as parental responsibility, emotional neglect, and even smoking addiction. But with a lightness that never overwhelms. There is wisdom in every smile, and lessons behind every laugh.

The performances are uniformly strong. The young boy who leads the film is an absolute delight. Charismatic, natural, and deeply affecting. Shiva brings both humour and emotional depth, and Grace Antony impresses with her quiet strength and nuance. The supporting cast also shines, each contributing richly to the film's textured world.

Technically, the film is beautifully shot with natural landscapes and small-town aesthetics that echo the inner freedom the protagonist seeks. The music is understated yet moving, adding emotional warmth without ever manipulating the viewer.

In a world chasing speed and success, Parandhu Po reminds us to pause, breathe, and connect. Not just with each other, but with ourselves and the earth beneath our feet. It leaves behind a subtle yet stirring message: that joy doesn't come from wealth or material comfort alone, but from love, freedom, and the little wonders of everyday life.

Paranthu Po (Feel good, comedy, family)

It's a children oriented family movie, if you watch in children's and parents POV you can enjoy this gem. It showcases how today's generation kids see their previous generation which can be related.also.it tells you how to manage your kids when they are growing up. The moves from city to village, between that change how the kids are behaving when they are to exposed with something that they never feel. This is an adventurous movie too were you travel in different regions and exploring new and old things and adapting to new conditions which you've never experienced. The movie had a clear message what they want to share with the audience and the way they conveyed was excellent. Inside this movie there will be some small Stories of some charactor which helped the overall movie well. The main album songs of this movie was good ,but the small songs was literally awkward,the reason is the lyrics, the lyrics is simply converted the scene paper into lyrics,this is a kind of music which you can see in the dubbed hollywood animation movies. Some part of this movie will connect our childhood. The movie starts from two sources but it ended as they've merged. You can watch this with your kids it will be a great experience.

This movie is a hard hitting reality stuff, where children doesnt need costly gifts and things. They just need a support and spending some quality time with them. So this movie is a hard hitting one for everyone. At times I really get annoyed of that boy but tats the film is all about. He is being his own, how he sees the world and manages in a different manner. Ram has given a wonderful craft though. There is some lag towards the end but some one liners and dialogues and scenes were top notch, wonderful writting overall. I loved the boy character, he was really annoying, make me feel I never want a child. Siva was one of his finest, this movie shows the ability he can perform as an actor as well. Small cameo from Anjali was too good too. The female lead omg she did a quite a performance, good find to kollywood, hope she gets more films to perform. The music and the song were blend together with the film, which has worked out as well. Overall a perfect feel good film. Please do check it out available in Jio Hotstar.

Sound plays a major role in this film's emotional impact. Arul Murugan's sound design and M. R. Rajakrishnan's audiography create a world that feels immediate and immersive. From the ambient noises to the intentional silences, everything works to serve the emotional rhythm.

Rajashekaran's color grading, Karthik Kambettan's VFX, Jaikumar Vairavan's stills, and the team behind the film's publicity and creative campaigns - Twenty. One. G (Pravin P. K) and On The House - all contribute to a consistent, aesthetic and emotional identity. The teaser edit by Pradeep E Ragav deserves a mention for setting the tone right from the start.

Credit also goes to producers Ram, V Gunasekaran, V Karupuchaamy, and V Shankar for backing a film that prioritizes artistic integrity over commercial calculation.
