This is best 2010's period best tamil movie. Make it more popular.

One of the heart-warming movies ever made. Sadly it didn't have a week run at the theaters. Veteran Balu Mahendra (BM) has beautifully captured the sweet moments between a grandfather and his grandson. One particular poetic scene where the grandpa takes a gem chocolate from the latter's hand. BM as the grandpa is top-notch and treat to watch with various expressions. Rest of the casting is very apt. The movie is devoid of commercial compromises, great that it can be watched by entire family. Music is very minimal, but very effectively portrays varied emotions, very typical from the combination of the legends Balu and Ilaiyaraaja. Only one Tamil TV channel telecasts this movie now and then. Don't miss!!

The movie's story is very promising but the enactment and treatment to the story seem very contrived. The number of pauses after each dialogue is as painful as watching the expression on the actors' faces during these super-elongated pauses.

Some of the scenes don't match the characters' personalities either.

And as you are wondering where the story will progress, Bam! It ends with a creepy and awkward smile from one of the actors.

The only saving grace in the movie is the choice of location. Kudos to the cinematographer!

Watch if you have nothing else to do.

Rated 1/10.
