Very well said the story behind pocso act. Ashwin acting is good in this movie as an advocate.
Kovai Sarla mam as usual done a great job. There is no flaw in this movie. Every one want to see this movie.
Prabu Solomon always gives his best in different journal.
I thought that vilians will win in the climax while watching the movie. But director given justice to the character.
Great work by the sembi team.
Real face of the politicians has been shown in this movie. All are equal, that we should understand.
After seen the movie I hate more the politicians and the police.
As we are in multiculture country, everyone should treat equally.

Child abusing is a worst negative topic and it has taken over the tamil films as there are multiple movies about it coming along from the past year, its really annoying to see that the negativity is being spread in all these films, there's a thin line of difference in creating awareness & spreading negativity and film makers should become more responsible in handling such topics carefully as it might have net negative impact on the society as a whole.
It is somewhat satisfactory to see that the positive side of the abused kid being transformed with a male protagonist role and how the kid's life would just move and on & wont get stuck get in there.
On this topic, the only new thing that this film tells is about the POCSO act and nothing else.
The film shows the actual talent of who Kovai Sarala is and what talent she possesses, we've seen her in mockery kinda funny characters for the past several years, and seeing her in a serious role is truly refreshing and unique allowing her to showcase her ability as an actress, she played it nicely all over but the special mention of it was the scene where she's been informed in the hospital about her grand kid's incident and the way she tries to react to it, just shows her talent as an actress.
Other than that, the usual kinda environment & characters in the directors' previous flicks makes this one also almost similar but with a mix of different plot and not-so-boring sequences as the film travels mostly in a bus which demands the screenplay to be a bit racy and engaging makes it watchable to some extent. Yet, it could've been well made by removing some of the unnecessary sequences.
The cinematography was good as it beautifully depicted the misty mountains but the music/BGM didn't add much value at all.
Overall, it deserves a one-time watch.

I liked this movie very much, even though it has lot of unbelievable turning of events and cinematic climax. The best part is that the situation, location and camera works helped very much for the flow of the movie.
The first kudos to Kovai Sarala and the kid for holding the whole movie on their shoulder. Second one to Director on Believing her. Ashwin character is bit of masala but the climax scene gives compeltely different meaning to his character well done.
This one looks like the mixture of Prabhu Solomon's earlier movie's good scenes. There is no dull moment and highly entertaining one.

I really hope kovai Sarala wins a national award for this film. The honey scene especially gave me goosebumps. At a point you forget her career as a comedian for decades and think of her and look at her as the character. The little girl was impressive acting. A very much needed social message ..ashwin decent . Logic is konjam missing and a bit cheesy unbelievable at parts. But for the great acting and beautiful scenery I will not elaborate further on it. Prabu Solomon is back. Enjoy the movie and social awareness . Bgm was superb as well all cast and crew did justice to their roles. Highly recommend 8/10.
Superb story(Movie). My sincere thanks to prabhu Solomon sir. Each and everyone's not acting Living in this movie. Especially Kovai Sarala mam, Mullai arasi pappa, Ashwin nanba, Thambi ramayyah sir, Ghana sambantham sir and everyone of this movie Living in our hearts. I love very much. This society needs this types of movie's because of many of culprits corrupting this society like abusing,Bribery(Corruption), misusing the Power in authority, so this type of Act's like pocso, poda. Etc..... Law must activating properly. Once again i Thanks to this movie Team all of them. I love u all and i. I bow by touching all of yours feet. I love u all.
