Aadhaar

The scene and tone are set right from the opening where we see a luxury car is being launched and quickly followed by the introduction of Pachamuthu (Karunaas). This shift in the narrative was so quick to capture the social situation, the class war by encompassing more characters recurring economic crises and injustice in the system. At first, I was expecting something like a tear jerker drama but it was much more. I have to mention that actor Karunas did a good job in Interval sequence, he suffers and suffers, tries to take help by pleading and begging with the cops and constantly fails but doesn't give up. Even at the end his character stays true to the actual reality and not gimmicky. All he is left with is an aadhar card of his wife and you genuinely feel sad as he prays to god which is the only glimmer of hope. It was a good decision to have a message appear on the screen to highlight the helpless who are shipwrecked due to the injustice in the system in the closure. Even the Muslim cop is nothing more than a pawn and his end is tragic after getting his hands dirty. I liked the lady cop scenes and how they stage the accident, the airbag, test-drive and the postmortem. It really placed me to view the inner workings of the system where chaos prevails. The film has minor flaws like the staging of few scenes, i had problems with the song placement, even the baby crying didn't sync with the setting, in few places the acting of the lead felt like an overkill. But in the end, i want to appreciate the intention of the director to make this project despite the limited budget and putting his point forth as a clear reflection of the political, economic, social crisis. I totally recommend everyone to see this movie, do not make hasty presumptions or compare it with other filmmakers style or pattern.

It's so amazing and refreshing to see Tamil movies transcending new heights by experimenting in different genres of movies. In a time where Hindi movies are making utter trash, and Telugu is churning out good movies, but with the same old themes - village, caste, politics etc., its amazing that the Tamil industry changing gears. This is such an attempt, which works very well. Interesting from start to finish with good elements of emotions thrown in. All the actors have done well, be it comedy or the emotional scenes. Well written, well executed, and enjoyable movie. Looking forward to such superb comedy movies again in Tamil. Thanks to Ramnath Palanikumar for breaking the mould.

After a long time i heard burst of Claps continuously in theatres.. Actors just rocked it..every scene of him was hilarious. Even in every scenes when we feel a little emotional next scene just make us Think..The new gen actors did pretty well, didnt expect such a smooth performance from them.

There is a slight lag during the start of second half which is forgivable. Overall a good movie with lots of facts suitable for viewing with family as well as friend. Its a must watch..Dont miss it in theatres. Thanks to entire team of d movie for such a fun packed entertainment... Must watch.

Watched a movie in theatre after a very long time and no regrets in choosing d movie..

Such a great movie after a long time ago, but there was no advertisement and marketing such types of good movies now a days star casting movies only digital marketing if its have a poor story line and no social messages 😀.

But this movie was reality of present situation of common man.. Public should give support for this types of flim makers.

Especially music ,editing and camera photography good,in first half little lag in story line & sentiments, but second half extremely good. The climax world class cinema, hands-off director for this brave attempt.. Also first time producer he invested is great attempt.. congratulations once again...

From everything I heard about this film, what I expected from this film was a small comedy film that plays in the safe zone of a Tamil industry. But I was wrong. Even though it does what the best of Tamil film does, which is giving a class film with emotions that will make you so attached to it and at least at one point makes your eyes wet, this film does that with a vision and finesse that is somewhat still fresh.

From the beginning itself, it started showing a bit of good emotions and a bit of tragedy without belittling each other's presence. From there to the various situations created, the slow reveal through the 2hr runtime to that beautiful ending, everything worked brilliantly. The ensemble cast was brilliant among which at least three of them brought out their best performances yet and each and everyone else fit perfectly in the film. Karunas was the one that impressed me the most being able to make me easily hate him and within seconds making me cry for him.

The finesse with which the movie changes from a party comedy to family drama and back is commendable. The on-point cinematography and editing along with the rest of what I mentioned before is just proof that director Ramnath knows exactly what and how to direct his story. This is one of the best directorial venture in tamil in recent times and probably one of the best movie, not just in Tamil, of 2022.
