An unusual Love Story
This beautiful movie comes in a time where movies r filled with mysogyny n loads of fitments just for commercialisation to cater to the business of cinema ignoring the Art n craft of story telling in a natural way. Kudos to the director and team for the hardwork and uncompromising authenticity in bringing out the best out of all in this lovable movie. The cast has been brilliant delivering what is expected of them. The chemistry between kutty n KD just went straight to my heart leaving a great impact on me. These movies have to be lauded for the purity in it. The team has done a great job and I wish Director Madhumita makes more such pure movies with great art n craft. The story, screenplay, music, picturisation casting everything is flawless n just brilliant. Best wishes to the team for all their future ventures. U have stolen our hearts.
A beautiful short story
KD (a) KaruppuDurai Beautiful short story. Every scene is a poem. Madhumita such a gifted director to Tamil cinema. She has compiled emotions, nativity & delivered a solid one in her debut. Mu Ramasamy,Naga Vishal Great performances. Sabari dialogues and Karthikeyamurthy's music great addition
Paradox at its best
This is a movie I enjoyed immensely.
Mu Ramaswamy as KD alias Karuppudurai and Nagavishal as Kutty were outstanding. I see a National award for Nagavishal this year. Brilliant dialogues and excellent presentation from the director Madhumita. Background score was perfect encore. Sarcasm aplenty, this will keep you hooked.
This is a story about the old man KD who is wanted dead by his children for monetary gain and the orphan child Kutty who was left to die at a temple. The kid like old man and the mature Kutty form an outstanding combination. The story treatment is absolutely fabulous and poetic.
This movie is more than the checklist that some keep referring to.

Big applause to director madumita.
A simple yet an important deep rooted issue with an essence of life to-do list charters out with an old -man having a great fun filled with emotions with grandson alike kid to enjoy the flow of life as it goes.
The story was also eye- opening as I was not aware of the concept of Thalaikoothal. With in the community of the elderly. When I searched about this in Google, I really saddened to learn that this actually happens in india. I hope people would change their perception of the elders.
Amazing movie, must watchable.
