    Feel Good movie! Such movies to be celebrated by Tamil Industry!!

    Why to applaud this Movie?

    A compliment for doing good BGM... without background noise! In so many places silence play the vital role!

    A compliment for giving a warm family picture!

    A compliment for remembering the rajas master piece "sevanthi pookalil seitha veedu"!

    Another compliment to the director who made the film with positivity, even in a tragic storyline!

    Good Labor!!!

    Definitely a natural one.. Hoping to see this film once again .. soon in OTT

    The scenes are too realistic such that it exhibits the layman lifestyle 💯 The screenplay and the camera works are too applauding for a debut team. Directorial touch will definitely make you forget that he's not a Debut director.

    A different storyline

    Director Satyapathy has taken a different and bold attempt in his debut film. His name should definitely be included in the ranks of the first directors of Tamil cinema. They have taken the life of construction workers in their hands and made their life known to the world by taking a beautiful picture so that people can understand it. All the actors and actresses who appeared in this film lived their characters and took the film to the world cinema standard. Greetings to all.
