Kaakkaa Muttai

Kaaka Muttai - the pizza 'dream'

simple realistic but brilliantly shot movie! Simply excellent!

GV Prakash gave one of the best BGMs in recent times, lifting the whole essence of the movie. The lead characters - played by two boys, did excellent in showing realism! Everyone acted to the script and nothing went haywire.

Very great to see the whole theater went into applause after the climax Good to see the appreciation this has received.

Easily the Best of 2015!!

Note: Simbu on screen after a long long time!!

Go and watch in theaters don't miss this gem!

Such a special movie. Having spent some time in the slums of Mumbai and seeing the kids and how they live with constant smiles and great humour amongst incredible poverty and hardship, this movie absolutely paints a perfect picture.

It is almost impossible for the privileged westerner to contemplate their lives but this movie really takes you deep into their daily, otherwise invisible, existence. The amazing subtext of this movie is that humans can find happiness and joy even in the most miserable of situations.

Sadly, it also shows how the poor can be completely ignored and humiliated by the "haves". Even worse, they are often used for the avaricious ends of the nefarious.

Fantastic acting, direction and cinematography makes this a very special movie.

This is a must see movie. It is both entertaining and deeply educational. 10 stars!

A simple movie with a simple thought with simple direction with simple little kids' wondrous performances..

The story revolves around two little boys living in the slum and their desire to taste Pizza. Vignesh and Ramesh who portrayed Periya Kakkamuttai and Chinna Kakkamuttai delivered excellent performances throughout the movie. Ishwarya Rajesh did a good job acting as their mother (i think she in her mid 20s). Babu Antony fared well, Yogi Babu & Ramesh Thilak did their comic role in a good way..

Thanks for Simbu (after a long time in a feature film) participating in this Dhanush's small venture.

Director M. Manikandan did an exciting job with his pen as well as his actions.. His direction was top notch. The camera which captured the reality (dirty slums) but was featured in a much attractive way (We cant even see this in normal movies at all). GVP delivered a good refreshing songs and were much more apt. The background score were also too good. The making was excellent.

overall a real fresh movie sparked with Scintillating performances.

Not to be missed..

Kakka Muttai one of the finest films ever made in Tamil film industry, the National award(for best children's film and child artist) given to this film is so totally justified.One moment i was having a hearty laugh and another moment in tears after watching the movie, i realised how blessed we people are and also very much sad that the editor of this movie MR.kishore te is no more he has done a wonderful job young talent taken away very soon. A BIG THANKS TO THE WHOLE TEAM OF KAKKA MUTTAI starting from director Mani, iswarya(who played the mother role), both the child artists(Ramesh & Vignesh) and Kudos to both Dhanush and vetrimaran for presenting this very simple yet beautiful film.when i decided to watch kakka muttai, i preffered to watch it from a very modest theatre and needless to say we have to adjust to a few settings like the evergreen BEEDI wielding smokers and KUDI MAGANGAL of our society but this time it was totally different After 30-40 mins in to the film.The man behind me who was a little bit drunk and constantly resorted to unnecessary hooting and clapping, suddenly become quiet and a few more moment i realised the whole cinema hall was quiet as if they were watching there own lives unfold in front of them in a BIG SCREEN.This is what good movies do to people no matter WHAT YOU ARE,WHO YOU ARE you get carried away

I went to watch this movie under the influence of good reviews and had fairly high expectations. This movie just stood to this test.

I would call this story as euphemism - a harsh reality presented in a mild way. Though the story is about two slum kids and the problems they face owing to their poverty, no fuss is made about their craving. Instead it takes shape of a story of their hard work and dedication to fulfill their desire. It manages to touch your heart.

Direction is just superb which is assisted by some catchy music. The combination of the story of slum dwellers with some peppy music reminded me of slumdog millionaire.

Watch it. Such movies are hard to come by.
