Reflecting Truth: If you want to know the reality and humanity around you .. Watch this
Hello Guys, If you want to know the reality and humanity which is around us in India / your street / next street. Watch this movie.
Magnificent story telling about today state of poverty. where the justice goes for poor people vs mighty.
We are all in selfish life, where we look for our slice of bread (including me), but is this right?.
Only mighty can get it everything. All other people are coming to earth to just die with economic inabilities. I am sure , I am in very self interested society, where always repeating our self as donator for the big NGO's via our company/ some checks.
I think, giving money will not solve the poverty issue in India. We have to give ourself to help our people. Via giving Education/literature, Clean society and dedicated timing.
But what government doing it. You are taking my 30% of the money as incometax, but not doing anything for the society.
I don't need clean road/ biggest infrastructure, WiFi... for the IT guys who is earning lakhs and lakhs of rupees.
Do something to the poor people with my incometax (30%) to the people who doesn't have schools/roads. But school with proper teachers.
They have to come-up and live a normal life. Otherwise India will grow like elephant leg disease. Only one side will live luxury life and other side will die as they born.
Hats off Raju Murugan.
But don't betray me by taking any other bullshit movie due to some commercial Benifits. We need you to take some thing like this movie. I hope definitely you will get some money.
It is also with our people. Never give anything who is doing good for the society. It will go behind, Mass and branding.
For me, you are brand ambassador, because you reflected the truth.
You slapped me at climax. Yes I am Joker.
I am saluting you and the character fight for justice (old man and the group). They given the life to your characters. All are gems in acting.
Jai Hind.
Thanks Nithyanantha Babu Sundaram

One of the best movie in this decade ,must watch movie. Movies like this are very rare so don't miss I can give 100 out of 100
I recently watched this on Amazon Prime. I wasn't expecting much from this movie but the synopsis given on the site intrigued me: "Mannar (protagonist), a villager, who declares himself as Indian President, protests government for absurdities. On a trial, he reveals his past. When everyone sees him as Joker, audience are questioned at the end".
Now, i'll admit i love myself a satirical movie, one that questions the convention and the authority. But this movie does so much more..
In a little over 2 hours, this movie captures the depravity that a man may be subjugated to, through no fault of his own and how mercilessly helpless we all are against the power of a system.
The sheer brilliance in the acting in this movie, coupled by such a powerful script and such brilliant screenplay; have managed to capture an essence which perhaps was last captured by Jaane Bhi Do Yaaron almost a quarter of a century ago.
I am in awe of this movie; the acting, the simplicity of its characters and the complexity of their emotions. The subliminal messaging and the sharp tongued wit! I would recommend anyone and everyone to watch this movie. The fact that this movie won a national award does not surprise me at all.
An easy 8/10

A well thought and well directed movie. Not many can think of a making a movie where you want to pass on a social message, keep it a emotionally 'hilarious' and keep the audience engaged. The director has done a really good job. Sean Ronalad's music is what Rahman's music is to Mani Rathnam's movies. If you are the one looking for entertainment, don't watch the movie. If you are a someone who appreciates art, class and hard-work, this will be a treat for you. "Chellama" will live forever, 'if you know what I mean'! There are very few directors who shoot what is in their heart and I can confidently say Raju Murugan is one among them.
A very healthy movie for the Tamil cinema lovers. We are expecting this type of movie in the future. The director who done a brilliant job especially in dialogues. A brilliant acting by each actors and actress. Even a small role who gives a best effort in their acting. Songs and the lyrics are very nice and the bgm is very support to this movie. Camera work and color tone are more than brilliant, editing and all the other technicians gives their 100% effort to lift this movie. Even though there is some slow scenes after interval block but the overall movie is really really awesome. its slaps not only the politicians, its for a every person. This is a good start for a movie which resemblance the life of the common man. Hats off!!
