Initially I really didn't expected much from the movie... But i really liked the trailer and posters.. the colour grading of this movie... Later I gave a short ... While watching this movie i thought it was similar to the Malayalam movie Balaettan , but later felt this was different but the core concept is different but in a funny way... At the end of movie i got tears. The music/ background score is well done.. really good.. the direction was good there was no unesserasy shots.. i didn't feel any lag.. acting was good.. good casting.. the feel of the entire movie was good... The climax was heart touching . This think the audience was expecting that climax for sure.. i loved it.

Underneath the quirky comedy peppered all around Bharathanatyam (a classical dance form) lies a life lesson that is summarised by the central character Bharathan as he sits torn in the chaos of his poor life decisions. I found some novelty in how Bharathanatyam presents the conflict, mostly from the perspective of those that are affected the most. While there are lot of convenient plot points here, the film redeems itself by not siding with certain characters and puts the onus on the viewers to judge. It also shows the duality of man very effectively. There's a lot to like in Bharathanatyam than there is to dislike, making this one worth a watch.

I went to the movie with no expectations as there were only a limited number of reviews available. The movie started slowly and I thought it is going to be a tragedy movie. But after 15-20 minutes, the movie took off. The comedy was clean and refreshing. All the characters did well. The bonding of the family was well represented. No unnecessary songs were there. The only scene which irritated me the most was when the nurse ate pappadam of Sai Kumar. I mean... Which hospital allows nurses to eat the leftovers from a patient's plate ? It seemed totally illogical to me. Other than that the movie was pretty decent. But it was sad to see that public was not much aware about the movie. I think marketing should have been done better because this movie totally deserves applause. I hope Saiju Kurup productions will create many more amazing movies in the future.
