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!!

This is my first review comments in IMDb, First of all let me take a deep breathe. First of all i appreciate the director for his wonderful crafting, each and every frame is very detailed and realistic, he gave importance to everyone who acted in this film. I salute him for bringing such a wonderful movie to us. Some movie made you happy or sad but this movie made me tears and made me to think and also reminded me my childhood. My personal opinion i would say this is the best movie i ever watched (Believe me). Congrats to crew and Millions applause to the actor Guru Somasundaram, amazing acting skill. Proud of you Guru Somasundaram Sir.
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.
This is a tour-de-force of movie experience. Simply put, one of the best movies where everything comes together - Story, acting, direction, music, scripting, camera work. Just phenomenal. And the most important thing is - this has a soul which hits a raw nerve by its grim realism. The nativity of the location, milieu, the support cast is amazing. Shows the eye of detail of the movie makers. It also avoids the pitfall of being preachy or melodramatic or over the top. A pity that movies like this don't get a larger audience outside the region. There is so much of garbage movies which is produced nationally which gets reams and reams of media coverage but which everyone forgets immediately after the show itself.
I hate to give anything out about the story. It is better to watch this with no idea of the plot to heighten the cinematic experience. Even the very idea of having something like "this" (suspense) as fulcrum of the movie may seem a joke, but it is fitting.
And in all that grimness, there is also a very nicely played out love story where lot is said and exchanged by shy glances and slight chivalry.
Special kudos to the actor who played the lead role of Joker - Guru Somasundaram. He lives the role. All the useless Khans and big mouthed "heroes" should take note on what acting means. Nothing less, nothing more. The supporting star cast are no less behind.
Music including the background score is flawless! That is saying a lot.
Camera work is spectacular. Right from the first shot where it lovingly shows the rural place, not leaving even the minutest detail and continuing the same form till the end. Brilliant.
Dialogues are terrific. Again, not over the top, but very appropriate. Especially the climax.
Great work by Director! Do not miss it.

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
