    Laughter guaranteed

    Fun-filled. This movie will make you laugh, that's a guaranteed. There's so much to take away from this movie. Every frame is worth it. Mani Kandan nailed it as always! I couldn't stop wondering how he picks such scripts! The director has a good future in the industry! Setback after setback! Even though this movie shows the harsh reality, you won't feel down watching this rather be uplifted! The veterans did a good job especially the Appa and the mama characters. I loved this family where everyone was imperfect. How the relations mock at you in the functions can't be portrayed in a better way by anyone else! This is so much fun, do watch it! You would not want to miss a frame even in the songs!

    Avg Male HERO - A Simple Story Told Beautifully

    Writer-director Rajeshwar Kalisamy takes a simple storyline and crafts it into something deeply engaging. Balancing heavy emotions with light, feel-good comedy, he delivers a film that resonates effortlessly.

    Manikandan is the heart of the film, portraying his character's struggles and emotions with remarkable depth. His performance makes us feel every moment of his journey. The supporting cast shines as well, bringing authenticity to their roles.

    A film that blends emotion and humor seamlessly, this one is definitely worth watching, don't miss this out in theatres !

    Note: This film is for all the ages.

    Fun filled entertainment

    Laughter riot in theatre. Manikandan and Next home boy character is bliss to watch. He shoulders the entire movie. Comedy, serious, nervous, embarrassing all the expression he easily pulling it of. Guru somasundaram also did equally great. The chemistry between the lead pair is really nice. Heroine acting was natural to watch. All the characters had equal importance in this movie. Every middle class guys who struggled/struggling for money/commitment, guys who tries hard to come up in life can easily connect to this movie. No vulgar scenes or violence. Best part is directors presentation, rather telling as documentary it was end to end fun. Movie can be watched with family. Watched without expectations but turnedout to be very good movie. Do enjoy this movie in theatres.
