    When adults fight

    Unique writing and screenplay. Great acting by Harish and MS Bhasker. An ego fight between two adults. Two men taking out their frustrations on each other. I couldn't think of any Tamil movie of this sort in the past decade. Things start small and become so huge. Indhuja has also done a good job. The struggle is real with rented places! An apt title for this movie. It's easy to gel into this story. Supporting actors have also done a fab job. No songs, no comedy, cliche scenes or dialogues. The movie is to the point and would not let you think of anything beyond. Unlike his other movies, Harish has chosen a different genre this time.

    Thoroughly enjoyed the film with family

    I and my family loved this movie because:

    -> Every scene is interesting

    -> Very realistic

    -> Vera level BGM in the scenes

    -> Great humour in 1st half

    -> Serious tone in second half having us at the edge of the seat - Every scene was thrilling, making us think what will happen next

    -> One of the few films that doesn't mock women for the sake of joke, and that shows the aggressive mindset of some husbands and how it's unacceptable (kudos for that, appreciate such films)

    -> Like others said, top-notch acting from the two leads and even some of the side characters

    Some said the ending could have been different but it was good enough, I can't think of how it could have been done better.

    The entire November there was no good movie out so I was forced to go to Jigarthanda and I regretted in the first scene itself that I had to come out of the theatre during interval because it was SO boring. After watching that kuppa padam, I wanted to go for a family-oriented, violence-free, story-rich, humourous movie and thank goodness this movie is released! Before watching Parking, I first thought that this is going to be a decent film that won't bore me and that I'll just go to the movie to have the theatre experience, enjoy it and come back. But I did not expect that the movie was going to be soo much good. That too, I watched Parking in the biggest screen in TN (EPIQ) and I loved the entire experience. Thanks to the movie team for creating such a great film.

    An amazing thriller

    One of the best ego clash movie i have ever witnessed in any language. This will be one of the best in tamil ever. Harish kalyan will be his career best movie, one of the best performance from him. And M. S. Baskar omg he is a master of all perfomances. The negative shade which has perfectly suited him. He just lived in that character. Every scene and screenplay is top notch not a bit boredom. A pure ego clash. The director script is soo good. So animative and makes audience feel the heat in the seat. A perfect thriller. Parking a must watch movie available in hotstar. Please do watch it. All the other characters did their best.

    Interesting plot with a clean screenplay

    Movie was written perfectly, I didn't feel like dip throughout the whole film, screenplay focused mainly on the plot and did not have any unnecessary songs or comedy scenes. What a performance from MS Bhaskar and Harish Kalyan. Music was okay wouldn't complain anything about it.

    Cinematography was good as well.

    Felt like could've changed the heroine for a better reach in terms of promotion.

    Overall: Good plot with engaging storyline 8/10.

    Parking is a 2023 Indian Tamil-language drama thriller film written and directed by Ramkumar Balakrishnan in his directorial debut. The film is produced by Sudhan Sundaram and K. S. Sinish.

    Strong screenwriting is the highlight!

    The core conflict is slightly misleading, and the basic premise (from outside) may raise doubts among the majority of viewers, who would question how a simple disagreement over a parking spot could lead to more serious consequences.

    I can understand their concerns, as I had the same doubts initially. My skepticism grew during the first half an hour, as there were no major events taking place. However, once the story started to escalate, there was hardly any time to catch your breath. This was thanks to a fast-paced screenplay that kept the momentum going.

    "Parking" is undoubtedly one of the better films in the Anti-Revenge space, with a strong script that delves into the clash of egos between two self-centered individuals and their ideological differences, portrayed with remarkable authority and conviction.

    My only complaint is the lack of development for the supporting characters. While I was fully invested in the intense battle of egos between the lead characters, I wish there had been more emphasis on their families to make me more worried about their well-being.
