Idli Kadai

Idly Kadai is a warm-hearted family drama rooted in rural settings, and in many ways it succeeds in creating an emotional core. Dhanush's performance is one of the film's strongest assets: his portrayal of Murugan, a hotel-management student who returns to defend his family's humble idli shop and reconnect with his roots, carries sincerity and resonance.

The film is not without its flaws. The prodigal son returning home, the "big city vs village" story. The second half loses momentum, becoming predictable and relying heavily on melodrama and cliched conflicts instead of deepening its earlier emotional promise.

It may not break new ground or surprise you with its story, but it has enough heart and charm to engage for much of its runtime. If you're looking for razor-sharp storytelling or innovative structure, though, this might feel a bit safe or predictable.

Idli Kadai is a feel-good family movie that's full of heart. I loved how the emotions shine in every scene! Arun Vijay plays a awesome villain, and Geetha Kailasam and Raj Kiran act so well together. The story isn't super strong, but director Dhanus makes it emotional, and GV Prakash's magical music lifts everything up. The background music stays in your head even after the movie ends! It's a fun watch for families who love feelings and music. 7/10 stars!

Felt good to see people genuinely glued to the screens not expecting a high moment from a top tier actor film's FDFS. Idly Kadai is simple and yet beautiful in many ways. A much needed film for today's world. Dhanush as a director wins making scenes and dialogues portraying his knowledge on cinema,he makes sure even the slightest question is answered. Every single character comes in the film is beautiful and the way he shown Arun Vijay as a person driven by ego is to the point and felt real. Can't come out from Gv's background scores and songs,it is the soul of the film. This film not for the entertaining purpose,it is to tell us 'Please look back the way you came' cherish the moments you had with your loved ones and take those to the next generations and he simply did that without preaching it. Forget about all and take your family to watch this beautiful film from Director Dhanush,I'm sure you won't regret.

Emotionally connecting peoples hearts in a dhanush's fantasy place, which once was a idle place for current 90s kids. Movie locks everyone into the story and makes us travel into the idly kadai. Great writing and acting by the cast and crew.

Heart warming and feel good throughout the screen play. Touching hearts and makes us to believe in love and kindness.

A beautiful emotional tale of love, sacrifice & the deep bond with our parents and homeland.

Dhanush is truly a priceless gem of Indian cinema, and Nithya Menen too amazes with her stellar performance. 🎬✨ GV Prakash's music elevates the film, while the entire cast shines brilliantly Rank 5/5 my opinion

Overall 4/5.
