Madras Matinee

Wonderful story telling one of the best feel good drama that made me cry, so relatable and natural, Kaali Venkat eyes reflects everything a common man feels yet subtle expression makes it more real, shelly George lived like every mother, what an artist, something has to be said for the dog brownie, a character truly lived as a local hero, Sathyaraj Sir way of storytelling is a lesson to all directors out there, detailing of events, character description what a marvelous writing by director, need more films like this, if this was released in Hollywood it would have been a classic,As a 90's kid this is like my life, Masterpiece! Should be celebrated out and out.

Must watch movie I couldn't stop myself from crying.

Relatable to all middle class people. Sacrifices of dad and mom only to make kids happy and future safe was well narrated.

"Kadasiya ellarum senthu Enna saptom by enaku neyabaga ill" touched me hard.

I felt bad for not remembering my last meal with my family.

No big starts, no songs, no action fights yet a masterpiece

Detailing in movie is perfect .

Madras Matinee (Feel Good , Family)

A Feel good middle class family movie , the story revolves around each and everyone's bond (father - son,father - daughter etc ). Narration was excellent, music feels like heaven, a father oriented movie , screenplay was good but slow , some lag will be there but it won't affect the flow of story, this movie talks about struggles of the parents, some politics, problems of unmarried women, the role of a pet in your family. Every character has a unique problem and this story moves in the way that they are adapting to it but that adaptation will tell you the actual story. If your family is behind you , anything would be solved.

Right from the first couple of frames and minutes, it was clear that the makers of Madras Marnie are knowledgeable and confident about their craft. The narrative idea is unique, and utilising Sathyaraj was a fantastic choice that added immense value, gravitas, and cinematic appeal to the film.

The movie stays true to its realistic storyline and presents it practically and positively without unnecessary cinematic exaggeration. The direction, characterisation, and performances were commendable. Even the junior artists have delivered their parts sincerely, making the movie rooted and authentic.

Special kudos to Kali Venkat and his son for their heartwarming performances.

Overall, Madras Marnie is a highly recommended watch for its meaningful storytelling, brilliant casting choices, and grounded execution.

Relatable for the middle class audience. Great acting and execution by everyone involved in the movie. Well made! Especially Kaali Venkat, Roshni and Sathya Raj's dialogue delivery was cherry on the top. One of the best family oriented movie in 2025, in Tamil cinema industry. The perfect way of storytelling such story is that, not over glorifying any type characters. Be it parents, children and any relationship of the family. That's what perfectly done by the director. Nothing fancy nor greatful to point at. Simple and elegant making of cinema. This movie casting was on point in each & every role and they delivered it wonderfully. Overall, "Perfect for middle class audience"
