Why more people aren't talking about this film, I don't know. Underrated, IMO. Don't watch the trailer if you haven't. I went into this film with no prior idea of what this was about, and about half way through, I thought "there's nothing new in this film, but it's really enjoyable". Boy was I wrong...about the first part, which we'll get to.

I'm not a fan of the RomCom genre but I thought Thiruchitrambalam was a fun movie. Most romance movies are sappy or too commercial, hardly relatable. This, however, you have (or somebody you know has) lived through about 90% of plot of this film. It will take you on a nostalgia trip (not the easy-way-out kind) like most movies haven't in a long time.

The cinematography deserves a special mention, not for showing scenic locations well, but for showing certain characters a certain way that you can hear your childhood friend go "Kavithai da. Kavithai!" I didn't care for the songs in Thiru'balam, and I didn't care for the ones in this film either. Regardless of how old the plot is it was FUN! Relatable, humorous. And then, the part that I DID NOT except.

One of Ashok Selvan's best works. What a 2023/24 he's had! Everybody else was great at what they were given.

What I saw in this film, I have NOT seen in any other film before. Mindblowing? No. But maaaybe, yes? That last part changed how I viewed the entire movie. Credit to the writing team. How wrong was I about the "There's nothing new in this film" part!? XD But hey, glad to be wrong this time.

Don't miss out on this one. Hardly anybody is talking about it, I don't know why. 90's bois, you'll LOVE it.

It is evident that the protagonist is an underrated actor. Thegidi movie put him with greatest expectation and more than the multiversatile actor his catch towards romance and comedy would be a wild card weapon.

I remember one of his full time comedy movie savalae samali during early days of his career, which did not make an impact but after all these years with few ups and downs he is courage enough to do one more of kind of the same genre BUT to my suprise the theme is fully engaging and refreshing .

I didn't have much hope when I start this movie but other than screenplay his matured mannerism tooks me into it. One can say loops and logics within the flim but at current era when all genre and trend are explored in Tamil cinema, the director and entire team put their efforts to take this movie on a good enjoyable full time one story with adaptable screenplay movie...

For each ocassion the protagonist played a adaptable role and it looked like another chartecter played the role. The involvement of multiple female artists and mix of role and flexible screenplay along with the continued monologues and dialogues paved way for much entertaining session

Ps Ashok Selvan - hats off!

You did showed courage to pick an expired and predictable theme and Excel it to be a perfect entertainer

Watched a romance comedy full time movie after a long time - will watch again someday :)

1. No need to FF any song sequence, they are all decent enough to watch with family 2. No super hero type hero character, but just normal average like many of us 3. No overload of alcohol or tobacco scenes 4. No item song sequences 5. Decent BGM, Screen play, dialogues 6. Most importantly No overload of punches, social messages 7. No super hero stunts, except one, bearable 8. Ashok Selvan's performance is very good 9. No flaws in story telling, direction 10. Actors that performed friends have done well 11. Katthika's performance decent

A good decent romcom that will make you feel being part of a normal decent world.

In one word this movie is a wonderful rom-com with stellar cast perfomances especially Ashok Selvan steals the show with brilliant loveable acting. The female leads have also done a good job. But it is Ashok Selvan who steals the show. There are many brilliant cinematic comedic moments in this film with call backs to classic films and meme songs at appropriate times. I kid you not you will smile so much throughout the film that your mouth will hurt. With Nakkalites Arun also scoring heavily in the comedy. Overall a wonderful feel good movie which can be watched with family. The music could have been a bit better in my opinion but at this point i am just nitpicking. I have nothing but praise for this film.

Cheers!!

The director of this movie cs kartikeyan cleverly uses several callbacks from classic films and manages to perfectly hit the nostalgia felling which all men would be able to feel. This movie is a perfect blend of romance, comedy and emotions. The crew does an Expectional job, especially the lead, Ashok Selvan as saba he is nearly in every other frame of the film but never makes you fell saturated and he is great in romantic portions. The female leads also do their job exceptionally well but kartika muralidaranhan is a standout among all the girls viviya(not sure about the spelling) as saba s sister is perfect,and the girl who played riya is has done the job but doesn't match the charm of ashok selvan she clearly is a mismatch in the song where the dance together. Megha akash also doesnt fail to impress us with her brief presence on screen. Jaiselan and arun fill the void for comic and are natural on the screen. This is films is so underrated. This film is for all men, clearly and cleverly depicts the struggles of a boy in getting his girl. This movie surely deserves tour time and attention.
