The movie is designed to please Rajni lovers. It is action packed and full of Rajni mannerisms and AR Rehman songs. What is amazing about this movie is that Rajni's antagonist in this movie is Ramya Krishnan and blow for blow she matches Rajni's style in her own way and you get a perfect villain for Rajni here. Fun movie and a good watch till the end.
Hi friends,
I'm not able to forget the moment when I saw this movie. I like the Hero of this movie very much, cuz of his style and his fast action who is the super star of TN, India named RajniKanth. The people living in this state don't want to miss his films. In every film he will deliver a message for the people living at there. Still lot of craze is on him. I saw this movie on its releasing date. On this there are 2 heroins. One is Ramya Krishnan and Sowndarya. Both are having a good role in this film. Particularly RamyaKrishnan finished a villi role in this film. She fall in love with RajniKanth. But Rajni is loving Sowndarya. Sowndarya is the house maid for RamyaKrishnan. This story moves like this. If you have a chance Don't miss. Really worth to see this film. Thanks.

Excellent Movie. Everybody acted very well in the movie. Songs and BGM in the movie were excellent. The movie was not at all boring. This movie is one of the Best Movie of Rajinikanth and K. S. Ravikumar. Excellent Movie.
PADAIYAPPA the movie with RAMYA KRISHNAN made records in the cinema shows but even today it is a movie to appreciate as central to our thinking of cinema in it's years of adolescence which was not well received by us in school like with our mother tongue from the subcontinent.
Correcting those basics are now forgotten time but in order to progress like a disqualified student from a qualified school spoke.
Being a 90s kid while this movie was released it was like a festival. Even now if you watch the film is fresh. One could not ask for more from Rajnikanth. Such a splendid style that goes hand in hand with his dialogues and ARR music. So much of plot in the movie. A very well written family drama with lot of Goosebumps moments. One can go and watch it and feel energetic.
