Madras Matinee

A beautiful movie well crafted by the director with excellent performances by almost everyone especially Kaali Venkat, who deserves an award.

That one scene where he comes home drunk exposes his awesome talent.

The short scene between the sister and brother later in the film was very poetic.

All middle class persons would relate to this story. The typical struggle of a middle class father is very well brought out.

Very simple narrative with subtle humour and touching scenes.

Kudos to the director, cast and crew for this wonderful experience.

Movie should have got the recognition like Tourist family. Very unfortunate that it did not get it.

Wonderful story telling one of the best feel good drama that made me cry, so relatable and natural, Kaali Venkat eyes reflects everything a common man feels yet subtle expression makes it more real, shelly George lived like every mother, what an artist, something has to be said for the dog brownie, a character truly lived as a local hero, Sathyaraj Sir way of storytelling is a lesson to all directors out there, detailing of events, character description what a marvelous writing by director, need more films like this, if this was released in Hollywood it would have been a classic,As a 90's kid this is like my life, Masterpiece! Should be celebrated out and out.

Relatable for the middle class audience. Great acting and execution by everyone involved in the movie. Well made! Especially Kaali Venkat, Roshni and Sathya Raj's dialogue delivery was cherry on the top. One of the best family oriented movie in 2025, in Tamil cinema industry. The perfect way of storytelling such story is that, not over glorifying any type characters. Be it parents, children and any relationship of the family. That's what perfectly done by the director. Nothing fancy nor greatful to point at. Simple and elegant making of cinema. This movie casting was on point in each & every role and they delivered it wonderfully. Overall, "Perfect for middle class audience"

This film is a warm slice of life pulled straight from a lower middle class household. Simple, honest, and full of soul. Madras Matinee reminds us that you don't need grandeur to entertain. The small things like the daily struggles, quiet victories, bursts of laughter and unexpected surprises come together to paint a vibrant, relatable picture of middle class life.

Kali Venkat deserves a special mention. What an actor! He doesn't perform, he lives the character. His presence anchors the film with depth and sincerity.

This isn't just a movie. It's a reflection of lives we see around us every day, brought to screen with care and heart.

Must watch movie I couldn't stop myself from crying.

Relatable to all middle class people. Sacrifices of dad and mom only to make kids happy and future safe was well narrated.

"Kadasiya ellarum senthu Enna saptom by enaku neyabaga ill" touched me hard.

I felt bad for not remembering my last meal with my family.

No big starts, no songs, no action fights yet a masterpiece

Detailing in movie is perfect .
