    One Of The Best Tamil Language Films -Vintage Suriya Is Back

    An inspirational movie that is worth watching. If there is dream to fly, it doesn't matter from where you come from, you can fly. Versatile actor Suriya nailed it. After Vaaranam Aayiram, this movie is too much realistic. Thanks to director Sudha mam. A female can also make a male-centric masterpiece! Co-star Aparna mam was awesome & too much natural! This movie deserves both filmfare & national award. β€πŸ’—
