    Below average movie: Misleading reviews.

    This movie barely has the dog in it. The lady in the film acts as if the dog is the entire problem and creates ruckus. Although everything turns out to be fine like every other movie, the transition from hating the dog to forgiving it was not smooth at all. It was very artificial. As a dog lover, seeing the dog suffer was not enjoyable. And the story seemed very very filmy. It was not worth the watch. Please don't waste your time. There are no interesting twists, the most predictable and lazy movie.

    The other reviews seem extremely misleading. 8.6 for this disaster seems kind of funny to me. Why do people lie so much.

    Must watch emotional entertainer

    Appatha is very emotional and family oriented movies, this shows the Hardships of a mother who does everything give a very good up bringing and education to his son who in turn is even ashamed to recognise his mother in front of everyone. Character is a role model for the society who not only want to make her life better but also want the women of the society to improve be self dependent and do not tolerate any atrocities of their husbands.

    This movie shows a very heart warming relation between Apatha and the Dog Zeus, this has again shown us that They our best friends and companions who would never leave our side.

    All in all excellent movie to watch please watch the same with your families.

    Mother and son bond between dog

    Appatha - Kannama, runs a small pickle making business in Kaayilanpatti with only women employees and Sakthi played by Siddharth Babu, to help her. Appatha is a hard working widow, wise and very influential person, she also helps the village women to write government forms and educate women to be brave. Appatha has a son named Pavvadai Sami played by Amit Bhargav, who lives in chennai with his wife, son and his adorable dog Zeus. Appatha and her son always had a broken relationship. Her son was ashamed of her and her pickle business since they come from a poor family. Good to watch with our family and its superb movies with comedies of apptha and dog.

    An easy evening watch with family

    First understand where this movie belongs. It's not aiming at any awards or a blockbuster status. It has no star-power other than the we'll deserved Urvashi. It is meant to be an easy evening watch with family. It is preachy, doesn't have any other performances to speak of, has a lot of loop holes and few illogical situations. Set all those aside and sit with a few friends or family and watch.

    Urvashi's brilliant performance, witty and quick dialogues, the dog and some of the noteworthy concepts preached elevate the movie from watchable into a much enjoyable movie. Watch it for a lazy but engaging watch. Kids, elders and those.who love dogs will love the movie.

    Geniunly entertaining...!!!

    A low budget family entertainer that's well planned & executed by priyadarshan who is well known as producer friendly director in Bollywood indeed a prolific creator himself... Urvashi once again does handle her role effortlessly and also her emotional portion shows her versatility and that's how she is a legend in South Indian cinema today... On the other hand all the rest of character's does contribute a great level including the dog,while the comedy portiondoes travel along with the plot which is the biggest asset of the movie... Crisy editing and apt camera work support the screenplay that's been running at a good pace...!!!

    Overall it's a little gem to watch out with family at a Sunday noon.
