      Feel good entertainer

      Really liked its storyline, as it was very much different from love centered movies. Flashback was too good and acting of Dhanush and Rajkiran was top notch. Really liked the duration of movie, as it was just around 2 hours.

      Love doesn't age

      I was at my wit's end when I watch every sequence ,it's a master piece in tamil cinema by dhanush

      Very good deviation from other mainstream movies

      It is good tasting mixture of feel goods. I cant believe that this is from a debut ant film maker. Movie deal very touching emotions of father and son. Romance, family emotions, action, adventure all these topics were nicely covered. Overall film is complete entertainer for the family

      A bitter sweet tale of an aged gentleman

      Dhanush has brilliantly written and directed this family entertainer, adding yet another feather to his cap. Power Paandi which was later renamed as Pa Paandi (for tax exemptions), is the bittersweet story of a sixty plus, retired and widowed film fight master (Raj Kiran) who feels restless staying idle at home. His misadventures outside the home lead to arguments with his son (Prasanna). One day, he decides to leave home so as not to trouble his son and daughter in law anymore. He recalls his first sweetheart with whom he had an unfulfilled destiny decades ago. With the help of some bikers, he locates her through Facebook. He meets up with her (Revathy) and what happens next form the rest of the story. Dhanush and Madonna Sebastian appear as the younger versions of Raj Kiran and Revathy, and their performances are emotional and heartwarming. The background music and songs are excellent, especially 'Venpani malare' and 'Paarthen'. There is a sense of deja vu in the music, that reminds us of 1980s Ilayaraja soundtracks. Dhanush deserves accolades for putting together a neat presentation that is pleasing on all fronts.

      Power Paandi (2017)

      The movie was very good. Everyone acted very well in the movie.Songs and BGM in the movie was superb. 1st half in the movie was amazing. But 2nd half in the movie was somewhat boring.
