    30 years life story of a Ordinary man

    Another masterpiece from Cheran (Director of Autograph). I can't help wondering how Cheran took this subject. The main story is nothing but a 30 years life story of an ordinary man and his family. Its hard to find a movie so real and true to heart.

    Raj Kiran is the main character in this film. This film is surely an life time achievement for him. Raj Kiran runs a printing press in the movie and has two sons who he needs to bring up. How he brings up the two children sacrificing everything he has and how his children reciprocate for his gestures is the story of the film. Cheran plays the role of the second son with much ease.

    Many portions of the cinema would look as if shot in a candid camera (looks just real) and not as if someones acting from the script. Music is unobtrusive.

    Though the film wouldn't bore you, it would have been better if the film had been cut to 2 1/2 hours or so.

    Definitely an amazing film and another masterpiece from Cheran.

    Pokkisham

    This film is the real pokkisham of cheran sir. Everything is there in this film. And nobody can re create such a master piece. This film is a huge treat for a movie fan.

    World cinema

    Throughout the world, master pieces have been movies which narrate the life of the people of that region. This one is certainly a masterpiece in tamil cinema. Being a 90s kid each time I watch this movie I am touched and I see my dad through Rajkiran's character.

    Good Movie

    Cheran, the director had beautifully narrated the story of a common man. Excellent movie to watch. This is the best movie of Cheran. Cheran need not to take another movie to prove his mettle for movie making. This itself proves his talent. This movie is a classic movie and need to be protected for the future audience to know the culture and heritage of the society.

    Rajkiran, Saranya and all the actors and actress acted performed well. You wont think they are acting. It looks like the real story happening in front of you. The camera work will give you the above said feel. The music is blended well. The "Koothu" - folk dance in the movie also touched my heart. Good movie.

    Thavamai Thavamiruntu

    Good Movie. Everybody acted very well in the movie. Songs were not needed in the movie. BGM in the movie was worst. The movie was interesting at 1st half. The movie bored and lagged a lot at 2nd half. The main disadvantage of the movie is its running time. Good Movie.
