A heart-rending film directed by a master film maker.

Starting with a child's infatuation with a teacher it gradually takes on more serious issues. It is woven beautifully with one serious issue after another.

Based on a true story It is set in the end of last century.

The child actors have done exceedingly well. The cinematography is stunning The adults have played their parts perfectly. The old Illayaraja songs add magic to the storytelling.

His earlier films, Paraiyerum Perumal had set a high level. Karnan was just as good.

This film is without doubt his Magnum Opus.

Tamil cinema is in safe hands.

Had seen the film on initial release. The final scene really shook me. Hoped to watch it again someday. Watching ir again did not make watching the final scenes any easier. Cinema at it's very best. I am grateful for Amazon Prime for giving this opportunity. The only films coming anywhere near this is "Vazhakku en 17-18" and Kaloori

This is by far the best Tamil film of the year, kudos to the Director Manikandan who has dealt with a number of social issues in a serious way but the humour is never far away. Congratulations to the Producers and the production team. The film juxtaposes the new reality namely - globalisation, international food trends etc next to the have not whose family combined earnings is hardly fifty cents a day. There is a greedy world out there trying to exploit the very little they have. The brothers who have a very strong family bond between themselves, their mother and grandmother amidst the poverty is the most positive memory that you remember well after the film. Watch it in a cinema, people behind the film need our support.
