Thandatti

Overall, the movie was intriguing pre-climax; then after the climax, it became dull. Later towards the end, it picked back the pace

DELICIOUS

-Ram Sangaiah gave us a good understanding of the characters and the story. Subramani was an unconventional police officer who was not afraid to harm criminals and go the extra mile to help those in need

-Vivek Prasanna was unrecognizable😅 He was drunk, dirty, silly, unreasonable, and really irritating. He nailed his role

-Many thanks to Mahesh, the cinematographer, for enhancing the storytelling with the camera movements. The lens was as curious as we were to reveal the close-ups we wanted to see

-Thandatti was a moving tale that exposed man's cruelty, hypocrisy, and generosity

BLAND

---After the earrings went missing, the investigation simply rotated around the same information.

It became a bit redundant as the dialogues were weak and not really amusing

Additionally, there was a man who claimed that Thangaponnu helped his daughter elope, but that segment never got followed through

-Some parts were not credible, e.g. Thangaponnu is able to grab and hold on to her earrings despite the immense pain she endured.

There was a person who was rescued even though that couldn't have logically happened under the circumstances...

Before I get into the review.. I watched the trailer, sometime back, and found it quite interesting..it also brought back memories of my grand mother wearing these.. but then I forgot about the movie until my mum said she was watching it.. so that made me look it up on OTT

Now, the movie's plot about a (pair of) thandatti missing from a dead woman's corpse, a cop getting involved in this and the development is perhaps a neat one-liner. I actually enjoyed the movie but somehow was not very convinced with the story telling. No offence to the the director / producer, applaud them for the subject, the story, the intricacies but definitely could have been a tighter, gripping presentation.

The cast did a fantastic job. Literally everyone. They delivered their roles to a T. Not just the main cast but the extras also. The music and background score was good but could be better.

End of the day, a good movie to watch (but would have stayed in memory if the treatment was better).

Watched the movie without any expectations. The stellar acting by Pasupathy carried the movie to the next level. Add to that a clean performance by all other known actors and excellent performance by all the villagers and a fairly clean script and nice twist, you get a very nice feel good movie!

The light comedy spread throughout the movie makes light of many scenes. The movie is thoroughly enjoyable and I highly recommend it!

Seeing Pasupathy's acting once again reinforces my belief that Pasupathy is such an under rated and under utilized actor! He can make any situation human by his mere presence!

This movie is a very nice surprise!!!

The story is merely simple, the making of the film is also simple,, rustic, as it is, yet very interesting to follow. In fact, the rustic atmosphere and picturing of the people and surroundings make this work live and natural.

It's just that unfortunately, there are a number of tucked-in conflicts that aren't resolved until the end of the film, thus making the audience wonder: Really? Is that it? How come it's over? What about their problem with finding the earrings and the stealer? What about the people who eloped because of the advise of the dead Granny?.

But above all, the plot suspense is good, it really makes you curious. The director is good and successful in organizing and directing the players to follow the storyline, the jokes are "crazy" natural in the style of "Srimulat" or "Ludruk Suroboyoan" (Srimulat and Ludruk are traditional comedy show from Jawa and Surabaya, Indonesia).

Good for you, film-maker team ! Greeting from Indonesia.

What a movie, great story, saw with subtitles and it's a different story plot. Story revolves around a lady's life who has to see lot of struggle and post her death too family was only greedy. See the climax that's the last 5 mins. And you will understand what destiny could be for some.

Moreover the acting, dropback of a village and casting is amazing. If you like no nonsense serious story watch it once. A unique tale of love, life and family.

Family movie and can be watched by any age though little sensitive as funeral and dead body are part of the plot. Watch it and enjoy the saga of a love story.
