Thiru.Manickam

Loved it. This is a goto film to watch with family. This one of the best movies from Samuthirakani. Direction by Nandha Periyasamy is fantastic. I'm from Hyderabad, just watched this on Zee 5 with English subtitles. I wish this could be dubbed in Telugu as well like they did in Kannada. This movie has to reach a lot of audience. I like the way the story has gone. Samuthirakani proved again that he is a gem in acting. Such a nice movie from Nandha Periyasamy. Really awesome movie. Must watch film from Samuthirakani. Content speaks a lot in this movie. If you are thinking of teaching some values to kids through cinema, this is that film.

Movie is well scripted and screenplay is awesome. Every actors have done their role well and especially Samuthirakani and Bharathiraja Sir nailed it!! The ideology of the movie is to remind about the values we are not concern about - Honesty!!

Family should hold these values and ensure to carry forward to their next generation.

Directors who are watching should build or create more movies abiding to the values a society should always have.

Government should encourage such movies and censor rest of the movies to the core so good movies come out with good values.

Heroes and producers just not think about money rather create names for themselves.

Thiru Manicham is one of those rare films that manages to surprise you when you least expect it. Initially watched without any great expectations, the film proved to be a delightful family entertainer that holds a mirror to the challenges faced in today's world. It's a movie that strikes a fine balance between drama, emotion, and subtle humor, making it a worthy watch for family audiences.

The standout performances are delivered by Samuthirakani and Ananya, who shine in their roles as a married couple facing the pressures of life. Their portrayal of deep-rooted emotions feels natural and genuine. The way they navigate the financial struggles and ethical dilemmas in their lives resonates with a sense of honesty that is rare in today's often self-centered world. Samuthirakani, in particular, brings his characteristic depth to the character, while Ananya complements him perfectly with her nuanced portrayal.

The screenplay, though a bit predictable in places (the climax is fairly easy to guess), does a good job of keeping the audience engaged. The moments of tension and decision-making will keep you guessing what will happen next, which makes the film interesting. However, the comedy scenes could have been more refined, as some of them feel somewhat artificial, interrupting the otherwise serious tone of the film.

While the film focuses on the central characters' emotional journeys, it does leave certain elements unexplored. For instance, some of the supporting cast-like Nasser and Bharathiraja-are excellent in their roles, but their characters don't have as much scope to shine as one would have hoped. Still, they do their part with precision, contributing to the overall quality of the film.

The cinematography and music deserve special mention. Both complement the narrative beautifully, helping to create an atmosphere that is emotionally charged yet accessible. The visuals are well crafted, and the music strikes the right chords, enhancing the film's impact.

One aspect that left me wanting more was the aftermath of the events in the film. Post-climax, we don't get to see much of what happens to the respective families of the lead characters, which could have added more depth to the story.

Despite these minor drawbacks, Thiru Manicham is an impactful movie, especially in today's increasingly self-centered society. It's a story that emphasizes honesty, integrity, and the tough decisions we often face in life. If you're looking for a film that brings a sense of warmth and thoughtfulness to your screen, this is definitely worth watching with your family.

Watched without expectations but turnedout to be very good family movie. All artists performed well. Especially Samuthirakani and his wife character. Ananya. Shown all their feelings naturally. We are currently in a world where seeing small honesty is very rare. And a man in his financial situation will really struggle to take right decision. Comedy scenes looked artificial but screenplay will keep you glued to screen guessing what will happen next(but yes kindly of we can guess the climax). Felt Some of the good artists did not get much scope to perform. Nasser and Bharathiraja did their role perfectly. Cinematography and music was nice. Post climax what happened to their respective family could've been shown which was missing. But definitely worth watching with family which currently need for this selfish society.

Very classical movie. Worth watching. I liked the concept, screenplay, and cinematography. All the actors did their work well. They lived in the characters. Congratulations to the crew for giving such a heart touching movie. Especially, Samudrakani sir and Bharathiraja sir did well. Background score was great. The film insisted on honesty and the equality in religion. We have to watch this movie with our children to make them to taste the fruit of honesty. Very few movies will touch our hearts. It is one of such movies. The climax part is too good and very satisfying. The director won our hearts.
