    Watch it for the chemistry, watch it for the emotions

    Being a huge Sethupathi-Trisha fan, undoubtedly this was a hugely anticipated movie for me. But taking that bias away, the performers delivered makes you feel the pain, those moments of laughter, nostalgia come pouring out.

    As audience you can live through the characters' emotions.... Hats off to the director to have handled the subject in a mature way. With just one show a day here in Australia,vI watched a show that ended at 11:40 PM....It is now 6 AM and I couldn't shut my eyes for a second as the emotions keep flooding back.

    Astounding penances of a relatively simple concept that is delicately handled and masterfully delivered!

    A non-misser for anyone!

    A breezy emotional love story with top-notch BGM & soulful music!

    I never want to wet my feet, though I was on the shores. Intentionally ignored such genre movies for a long time. Finally 96., This wave just dragged me deep and swallowed me into it.

    No kisses,No lusty scenes,No double meanings,No punch dialogues,No fight sequence,No drama,No alcohol, Only love!💓 #96Movie demolishes all the superstitious scenes in Tamil cinema! Like a time machine, it makes everyone to go back to his/her first love!

    A pure real teenage love story

    It can get real as real can get. It is not at all a regular love story. The cast is simply fantabulous. Vijay Sethupathi has given an hell of an acting. Every single time he out does himself. Just wow. Trisha is simply gorgeous. She deserves every artist award there is in Tamil cinema. The young characters played by the respective cast is simply awesome.

    Such a film this is. I cannot get out of rams and Janu's life. The climax just took my heart out. 2st half is pure nostalgia of the 90's. 2nd half is where the story is. Tamil version of before sunset. Director has done a FAB job. Chinmayi is freaking fantastic. Trust me voice acting is NOT that easy and she blowed it through the roof with her songs and voice. Your feelings are dead if you feel nothing for this movie.

    96

    96 is one of the rare movies where after entering out of the theatre and seeing the ticket, it counter beckons you to enter for the next show.......It Was Nostalgic, Poetic, Romantic all in one......Hats Off to the crew for making this film the love of our life..........Vijay Setupati and Thrisha and their chemistry were magical
