A beautiful movie well crafted by the director with excellent performances by almost everyone especially Kaali Venkat, who deserves an award.

That one scene where he comes home drunk exposes his awesome talent.

The short scene between the sister and brother later in the film was very poetic.

All middle class persons would relate to this story. The typical struggle of a middle class father is very well brought out.

Very simple narrative with subtle humour and touching scenes.

Kudos to the director, cast and crew for this wonderful experience.

Movie should have got the recognition like Tourist family. Very unfortunate that it did not get it.

KB's movies always explored human characters in complex and adverse situations. This movie was very bold and much ahead of its time which is probably why it did not succeed.

Saritha is an introduction in this film, no way!!! She performs like a seasoned actress with loads of experience.

Superstar Rajini has shown an altogether different dimension of his acting. Pity, directors did not explore this potential and made him a caricature, in his later movies, only making him an action hero. The climax scene where he starts to laugh and slowly turns to crying is too good.

Supporting actors have all given excellent support especially the actor who performed as Rajini's brother, was so natural.

Being an old movie, placards explaining the scene was hilarious to watch now.

Overall, a brilliant movie and must watch for the performances of Saritha and Rajinikanth.
