    Kavin shines in this impassioned tale of a father's stirring journey

    Kavin shines in this impassioned tale of a father's stirring journey.

    Dada is a poignant and moving journey of single dad which is beautifully written and directed by Ganesh K Babu. With a stimulating screenplay, earnest performances from the leads, multiple heartfelt moments and profound music Dada is film which stays with you a bit longer than you may have imagined. Overall, Dada is a passionate rollercoaster of emotions which will leave you in a state of catharsis and will give you moments of joy that brings out a wider smile everytime.

    What's Good?

    • A Remarkable script and stimulating screenplay
    • Top Notch direction
    • Laudable Performances from Kavin and Aparna and their organic chemistry
    • Multiple Heart-warming and Heart-rending moments
    • Jen Martin's magical compositions


    What's Bad?

    • The second half is a bit stretched and cliched with forced humour moments which could have easily be trimmed.


    Why should you stream?

    If you like the joys of watching feel good films which make you emotional and at times bring you a smile, stream Dada on Amazon Prime right now.

    Kavin.... wow!

    Who is Kavin guy? Excellent performance. Later learned, big boss and tv series popular actor. He is just keeping the movie going with his performance. A simple 1-line wvwnt in a Baghyaraj style movie, made into a feature film. Good direction, camera, music. Worth a watch.

    The first scene in the bed, next scene crying, next pregnancy. Movie seem to moves fast with events but nothing unexpected still worth a watch. Director avoided unnecessary parents sentiment but not sure why he had let aiswariya talk so much. The only most irritating character. Bhyagaraj done great 👍

    Climax, nothing extraordinary but with both their performance and mutual understanding without dialog makes it memorable.

    Matured Performances and Feel good movie in Tamil Cinema

    Dada will definitely be one of the well made movies in Tamil cinemas this year. Solid performance from the lead actors. Amazing story and screenplay combined with effortless performance from the Actors.

    Though the screen play appears to be slow during the 1st half of the movie.... It was gripping enough for the Audience to not get bored. Definitely a must watch movie if you want to experience ah feel good emotions at the end of a movie.

    I've watched the movie twice so far and was filled with emotions both the times. This is an amazing creation from a young team. Tamil cinema please make use of such artists and technicians.

    Worth a watch!

    Coming of age movie...I liked it . The two leads were very apt in their roles. Kavin is a natural performer. The role had alot of scope for him to perform and he used it wisely. All in all ingredients needed for a feel good film is here. Music was good humor was also good . Story screenplay all superb. A bit lack in some character depths hence why the 8 out of 10 instead of 10 out of 10. Grab your snacks sit back and enjoy this movie on prime or tamilrockers lol what ever floats your boat. Heroine can act and lip sync was on point which is rare in tamil cinema. The kid is a total natural and cutie.
