Annoying

Maybe it's the disconnect with how it is such a rooted rural Tamil movie, or maybe it's the old people propaganda of how they can be the most abusive shis you've seen and then act like it's all for everyone's good that pissed me off. A lot of what passed as comedy in this movie felt very outdated; even the supposed progressive message felt like it's a couple of decades late, even though in India, those are never really outdated. Most of the film is centred around four male characters, when the film is trying to tell a story about women's empowerment. The biggest problem is not that these four characters are not that interesting; it's that none of the characters in the film exists without making you annoyed. It's not bad as it is, but when the movie is designed like this, there should be something to root for. Here, everything is just there to annoy you.What worked well is that it really felt like a village and the people in it, and Radhika Sarathkumar did an amazing job as the title character. But outside of those things, it felt like trying too hard to be something and ended up as nothing.

Amazing movie

Thoroughly enjoyed the movie! Very well written and executed. The cast was amazing. Everyone acted beautifully. Great watch after a while! One of the best movies I have seen in recent times, movies like this should be encouraged and watched. Seeing 180 rating with 1 comment about the movie is so sad. Huge kudos to SK for producing a masterpiece like this.

Good and Fun filled Family drama.

Good to see different story/screenplay worked well instead of useless bloods fight and weapons.. enjoyed much in theatre. All lead people (Radhika, Arul, Singam puli, munishkanth, Bala, thaniga, Rebecca) nailed their roles. Special applause to Granson, Drunkard in Ayyanar temple, all three daughter in law characters.. Not a groundbreaking story, But Neat and clean screenplay with lot of memorable moments keeps you enjoyed n engaged. Literally like we were living in their family. There were few lag moments in first half and felt Radhika's character should have been extended, Few resemblance of Recent 'Angammal' movie which has similar theme. But second half was grip and engaging. Great to see a very good family Drama movie with lot n lot of Native fun moments! Appreciate Director's vision and SK's trust on this story. Must watch in theatre with family and friends.
