      Worth watching

      Simple story. Beautifully decorated. Halitha shines again

      Simple story with situational comedy and suspense

      Movie starts as dark comedy with a dead person being visited by village people. The dead persons sin returns from the city and story unfolds as he remembers his father's mischiefs. Story proceeds by shifting between the past and present, with light comedy. Slowly the lady love enters the plot and there is a twist in the present and also the past stories and the suspense element adds up.

      Acting of all the characters are very much natural without stressing the fact that it is a comedy. BGM kept to the minimum, only the screenplay and acting is made to take up the front seat.

      Since I'm not a Tamilian, I'm not sure if the actors have acted in any other movies, but they are very natural. The feather son duo excels.

      Anyhow, few scenes seems to be out of place, but they are important to the story. For example, the father is shown as tricking people and even his kids for his profit, but the scene showing good side of him doesn't got enough intensity.

      Worth uh..πŸ”₯πŸ‘

      Samuthirakani nailed and stealed the whole show. Manikandan performance was top notch. The story and screenplay was good. Its a wholesome Comedy drama with lot of funs and twists.

      Expected something much more better

      Aelay talks about Father and Son relationship who lives in village with normal love story. Comedy dialogues worked very well.

      Aelay is good one but not up to mark. Expected lot from director Halitha Shameem. But Samuthrakani and Manikandan did there job quit nicely.

      Looking forward for next movie 🍿πŸŽ₯
