    Phenomenal.

    An inspiring true story with you - the bravery of Major Mukund Varadarajan, an Indian Army officer who showed incredible valor during a counterterrorism operation in Jammu and Kashmir. He was posthumously awarded the Ashok Chakra for his heroism. And guess what? His story was brought to life in a movie that's a must-watch! The acting, especially by Sai Pallavi, is phenomenal - it'll leave you emotional and proud! Shiva Karthikeyan totally nailed the character too! Trust me, this movie deserves full marks! Go watch it and be inspired by this true Indian hero!" The screen play is top notch, it's completely a emotional and patriotic roller coaster. A Must watch movie.

    Lived with mukund varadarajan and indu

    "Hey Film Squads! This movie is perfect for Diwali, to both family audiences and SK fans. It's Sivakarthikeyan's 'Thuppakki' version, blending love and action. Sivakarthikeyan and Sai Pallavi shine as Mukund Varadarajan and Indu, with lovely and cute chemistry. The first half offers a mix of love and action, while the second half transforms into a full-on action-emotional ride. G. V. Prakash's music and OST were outstanding, and the sound FX team done well , immersing us in a war-like atmosphere. Although the climax may not acceptable to everyone, this movie holds a special place in our hearts. Watch it with your family and friends - highly recommended!"

    "You drew stars around my scars now im bleeding"

    Growing up in Chennai, South India, I was naturally surrounded by a dedicated movie culture and a passionate fan base. As I got older, I found myself preferring series over movies, as they often capture deeper emotions through multiple seasons. I have watched several North Indian films, such as "Shershaah," "Sita Ramam," and "Mission Majnu." While these films tell the stories of different warriors, they often share similar endings. I still struggle to understand how Indian soldiers are willing to risk their lives to protect us, the citizens of India.

    When I learned about a movie being made as a tribute to Indian soldier Major Mukund, I found myself eagerly anticipating its release. The star-studded cast, featuring renowned actor Sivakarthikeyan and actress Sai Pallavi, heightened my excitement. Their performances made me reflect on the brevity of life and the unfairness that some people face. I was moved by the story of Major Mukund and his inspiration to become a soldier. Despite having a family, he never once considered backing down.

    As a nation, we should be incredibly thankful for those soldiers who work tirelessly to protect us. I believe school textbooks should focus more on stories like this, as not every soldier gets the chance to have their life depicted in a film.

    Now, regarding another warrior, Indhu Rebecca Varghese, played by Sai Pallavi, I found the narration of her character, enhanced by a touch of Malayalam and her beautiful voice, to be incredibly impactful. She's such a sweetheart. Whenever I saw her crying helplessly, I felt an urge to reach out and give her a hug. She consistently supported her partner's career and ambitions and portrayed roles as a loving daughter, supportive partner, dutiful daughter-in-law, and brave mother.

    I'm grateful that this story was made into a movie, and I hope she holds it close to her heart. The scene where Indhu learns about Mukund's demise shattered my heart. The way she controlled her emotions and didn't shed a single tear during his funeral was so poignant, especially because he had always told her not to cry in front of others if anything ever happened to him on the battlefield. I got goosebumps seeing the original clips of Major Mukund with his sweet daughter and their loving family.

    I'm glad to know that Indhu is living her life as a teacher in Australia. I truly hope that in their next life, they can be together for a longer time. The audience in the theater stayed until the very end, and when the film concluded, there was a thunderous applause that gave me goosebumps. My deepest respect goes to all the Indian soldiers out there. Major Mukund may not be with us, but will continue to live in all of our memories . All hail- Amaran- The Immortal.
