Good Night

A feel-good movie with a very small storyline.

There are 2 scenes (spoilers here): Abortion, Snoring.

The core plot of the film is just based on these 2 scenes and nothing else and I couldn't help but think only of Selvaraghavan films, both these scenes/concepts are shown as just one of the scenes in his 3 hour long movies. I'm trying to highlight this because I really want people to understand the MAGNIFICENCE of Selvaraghavan's writings and we've missed celebrating the genius and pushing him into the acting field denoting how miserable we are as the audience.

Overall, it's a well-made emotional drama with a good mix of comedy/humor, love/romance, sentiments/emotions, and life in general but I see this entire film as a spin-off of Selvaraghavan's film scenes.

Except being a tiny bit stretched in second half, this movie is a delight to watch. The screenplay, cinematography, art, direction, characters are fantastically done. Manikandan is such a natural actor and the movie is shot so beautifully that one can't help comparing it with the fine movies in malayalam cinema that portrays the plight of a common man in a manner that you feel you are there in it, next to them, and see it happening. Very immersive story with a great acting and portrayal of characters by all the actors. First half is a delight to watch but second half felt lengthy and some segments felt unnecessarily stretched. Songs are less but beautiful and are in sync with the story. One time watch in theater definitely. Sometimes we all need a break from the masala and commercial movies that show unrealistic things. This is good cinema technically and otherwise.

This is going to be my one of the best heart felt family drama. Good night is a pure hit. The story and screenplay is so good. Usual simple and elegant and flawless , not a place bored. I could connect my life with many of the situations , especially my family and office life. Manikandan truely he is a monster in acting, nailed with his performances, elegant in his acting skills effortless. Ramesh thilak etc and all others have performed their part, every character has a role to play which is quite good to see. Every character has some reason to stay. I would like to give a special mention meetha raghunath oh boy her acting and innocense throughout the film is soo cute and pretty. Every boys dream to have a wife like Anu loved it. Overall an amazing heartfelt movie must watch available in hotstar.

Watching this was great fun! It's not often that one can use a down-to-earth plot device to craft a funny and humorous screenplay like this. The simple nature of the plot and the way it manages to jump over hurdles make it a greatly engaging story for people of most backgrounds and classes.

The acting is another plus, especially that of Meetha Raghunath in her role as Anu. She gives the film a whole other dimension with her genuine character and humble nature. Manikandan and Ramesh Thilak were also absolutely incredible in their roles and were received overwhelmingly positively.

Overall, Good Night is sure to leave you with a smile. It is an immaculately written, simple, and innocent flick that engages people with a minimalist style.

Finally a romantic story that made sense! Good Night was a down-to-earth and relatable film that used a common topic like snoring and turned it into a captivating entertainment

-Usually love stories begin the romance in one of 2 ways: either the man falls in love at first sight or he goes about arguing with a girl then he slowly falls in love.

Good Night took on a natural approach to Mohan's and Anu's relationship that it was very believable. And these two characters weren't the typical lovers in terms of appearance and behaviors

-Watching the movie felt really homey and comfortable. The handheld camera movement in the opening scene was a great intro to Mohan's house and family. And the soundtrack had a cozy laid-back vibe

-A common snoring problem was used to unveil some underlying issues that needed to be addressed and also revealed people's values. Brilliant!

Kudos to Raichal Rabecca for displaying a courageous and caring spirit, and perseverance despite all the hardships

K. Manikandan's and Meetha's chemistry worked really well, like a real couple, everytime they hugged each other, we sensed it😍

-The puppy was a gentle touch to the film, kinda like a reflection of Anu as both were "abandoned" and alone. But when love and company came into their lives, they were able to thrive and be happy.
