Then Chennai

"Then chennai" well made by the director it doesn't look like a first attempt director movie. The plot twists was unexpected and make us to keep guessing. Kudos to the entire team since most of them are first timer.

The characters are well developed. Everyone acted well in their characters each of them brings their characters to life. The cast delivered exceptional performances, especially the actors playing SK, Antony, and the heroine, who nailed their sarcastic roles.

The cinematography was stunning, In the Hero introduction sequences he done an excellent job. BGM was notable in some scenes

The song "pudhu vanam" is a fabulous melody with beautiful lyrics.

"The director's solo efforts in handling multiple aspects of the film are truly commendable and deserving of praise."

Overall a good entertainment movie worth watchable with family.

Interesting fact is new team has come up with some experimental neat piece of artwork. The craft has both dark thriller moments and soft emotional drama! I like the combo, as in the tamil movie Kaithi.

But action and certain places of the run time, loose grips..

Otherwise completely engaging family oriented experimental thriller.

More than the Hero , Heroine,3 Villan characters actually elevates the film at various places of the movie.

Kudos to Ranga. His efforts seems amazing. But not sure if it because of the character of his humongous tasks is not letting him shine as a good actor yet.

But very evident as an ambitious Director & Producer .

Kudos to the entire team!

Movie is good though some minor mistake are there. ... director story telling way is good... over all feel good Movie. Last 30 min is interesting.

This movie is done by all new faces, very few faces are known faces. Only one song in the movie is way too good... get struck in mind....hero of movie ranga good show....looks very fit suits navy physique... initial navy training is stunning.

Heroine performance to be mentioned, carries her character well, villain role is written well in the story.... hero's uncle character stays in mind....

The efforts of the debutant director cum actor is well appreciated. I surely predict the hero hv good future.

"Then Chennai" unfolds the story of a middle-class family's struggles in Chennai's less explored backdrop. The actors deliver good performances. Even though this is the director Ranga's debut movie, the unique style of story narration, his acting makes the movie engaging. The combination of action and family drama worked out in a great way. This movie shows the strength, passion, and family bonds and It moves at a good pace. Music directors background music is undoubtedly added strength. Editing is also good.

Excellent cinematography and color tone are remarkable strengths. This emotional drama is a must-see for families; I highly recommend it.

Well suited cast selection and they did their justice to the assigned roles. Gripping storyline, Slow burning crime thriller with family emotions and story spans across covid lockdowns. Background music elevates the movie sequences well. Trio responsibilities, ie movie direction, production and main lead role are executed by the same person Ranga. Quality of making and colour grading tones the movie is extraordinary. I feel Still somemore improvements required in editing the sequence in the last 30 minutes of the first one hour portion. Overall nice package and I felt worth spending two hours to watch.
