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 .

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.

Nice movie. At begining of the movie it was little laggy but later on the movie picked up the speed and the story telling was nice. Totally a feel good movie. At each section of the movie, i wondered how they going to continue from here on because it will come to a complicated point. But the director did well to tell us the story. From the complication it will go to next level and next level and it never ends until the movie really ends. I like the simplicity in the movie, a Father's love was highlighted well without upsetting the mother's love. Sweet. Again i would highlight; this is a feel good movie. Everyone must watch. I believe everyone will enjoy it as much as i did.
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.
