      PAKKRU THE MAN OF INSPRITATION

      This is a simple yet enchanting story of a family,whose journey is as beautiful .After coming from the theatre hall,these characters are staying in our mind.Guiness Pakru whom we see in comic-centric roles was really good.Even proving that this was like a well tailored role for him to enact.The kids were really good and ,is a great portrayal indeed.I really hope people would watch this movie and enjoy.

      Nice movie but could've been done better

      Behind all the melodrama and woes of the poor, we have a beautiful message - success and geniuses can come from anywhere. Very good story but the pacing could've been better.

      A must watch

      Very touching and inspiring movie worth watching. Familiar cast but they performed like never before with new comers. Really appreciate the crew, the director, writer, photographer and the musician for the bgm which brings out the essence of the story.

      Excellent Movie / Script / Must watch

      There is not enough words to describe the content and perfection about this movie. This movie is truly a reflection to every ordinary individuals life , it's a movie which makes us realize the hardwork , pain & love of parents to bring up their children even at poor circumstances. Also making us realize that there are many hidden young talents surrounding us despite the living situations. The story line surely brings in true emotions & also an eye-opener to all our young talents. I never even thought about signing up for IMDb and writing a review but then this movie truly deserves it. Respect to all the cast , crew and direction. 10/10
