Featured reviews
The movie is telling a simple story which can be anyone of our life story but the elevation of the movie was acting and music. Also Director knew what to give in screen so it really connects with us. I was one of the people was not able leave the theatre at climax they made me so emotional that I wanted to see more from there.
The story revolves around hero and heroine but also gives enough space to all other characters. Some characters just give hope that maybe our life would be lot better if we too get that characters in our life.
Music was also a lead in the story Without any spoilers of content but there are scenes where the artists perform so splendidly and meaningful to scene Autokaran anna Without any dialogue scored for me.

To be honest, i didn't have any high hopes for this film. Mostly new comers and a new director. I was pleasantly surprised. The technical aspects of the story like screenplay, cast, editing were all top notch. The movie talks about how life changes when you make mistakes. Father son relationship is just a part in this movie, there are much more life lessons in this movie. I would say it's more a coming of age story. Harsh realities of life are portrayed with a touch of humor. The lead characters did a great job. They were all very subtle and not too dramatic. The friends all were very convincing in their roles, especially Amit and Saravanan. Though the plot is a familiar one it is not a regular movie with cliches and cheesy dialogues. I would definitely recommend watching this.
OMG....thats y u need character from TV who can put all the effort in better way....what a movie what a feeling....no over talking, no over drama, no over emotional.....the moment when mother meets his kid is the best in the movie where no overacting has been done.
His is exactly what I felt while watching the movie . But when we see the public reviews 70 percentage of them said the 2nd half was best . Frst half was decent . This states Many people are still in the commercial world of cinema. Until they change directors won't change their perspective of making so called commercial cinema .Thanks whole DADA crew.

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.
A emotional feel good drama .
Pros - Fine story for a feel good movie and intresting one . Major positive was making style , Ganesh K Babu in his debut did a great job in direction especially keeping things simple and subtle . Emotional part were another great pillar to the movie , especially a orphanage sequence in 1st half and climax were tear-jerker . Comedy worked well in most of the places . Interesting characters and there is no good or bad potrayal every characters has its own flaws , their character arc were good . Actors justified their respective characters . Technically , cinematography was good . Music was splendid but songs were average .
Cons - 2nd half bit lagged in narration comparing to the first , but climax somehow compensates this flaw . Editing and dubbing in few places were odd .
Overall a good emotional feel good drama to watch . A perfect movie for the Valentine's week , yes it's not a romance drama but worthy movie to watch with your partner .
