Saba Nayagan

Rom-coms in any language are a light watch, and thus, this seemed like a good choice, especially since Ashok Selvan mostly delivers good movies. But boy, I didn't know I was about to be proven wrong.

Saba narrates his love life from his school days to the present to appease the police officers after being arrested for causing a nuisance in a public place.

The story takes you through various stages of Saba's love life-how he fell in and out of love each time. But despite multiple love angles, none are interesting or unique enough to stick with you. If an emotional route wasn't the goal, the film could have at least been funny, but it fails there too. The entire movie meanders toward nothing, and the suspense factor introduced at the end makes no sense, leaving you even more disappointed.

The saving grace is Ashok Selvan, who delivers a solid performance and keeps your interest, but even he can't salvage a shallow script like this. A series of good-looking actresses have been cast, and while they are all decent, none leave a lasting impression.

The jokes land in places but, overall, feel bland. The songs are hummable yet forgettable-nothing that would make it to your playlist. The cinematography is a plus, keeping the movie light and breezy to watch.

You're definitely not recommended to watch this one, even if you're an Ashok Selvan fan. Save your time and energy by skipping it.

It is evident that the protagonist is an underrated actor. Thegidi movie put him with greatest expectation and more than the multiversatile actor his catch towards romance and comedy would be a wild card weapon.

I remember one of his full time comedy movie savalae samali during early days of his career, which did not make an impact but after all these years with few ups and downs he is courage enough to do one more of kind of the same genre BUT to my suprise the theme is fully engaging and refreshing .

I didn't have much hope when I start this movie but other than screenplay his matured mannerism tooks me into it. One can say loops and logics within the flim but at current era when all genre and trend are explored in Tamil cinema, the director and entire team put their efforts to take this movie on a good enjoyable full time one story with adaptable screenplay movie...

For each ocassion the protagonist played a adaptable role and it looked like another chartecter played the role. The involvement of multiple female artists and mix of role and flexible screenplay along with the continued monologues and dialogues paved way for much entertaining session

Ps Ashok Selvan - hats off!

You did showed courage to pick an expired and predictable theme and Excel it to be a perfect entertainer

Watched a romance comedy full time movie after a long time - will watch again someday :)

Seems like this movie should have been released 20 years back. Story is not great! Don't know how it got this huge score in IMDB. Too boring 😔.jokes and scenes were very predictable and highly used in tamil cinemas for long years. Casting seems flashy . But they didn't meet the expectations.

Saw it after few sneak peek and IMDB(7.6). It was a huge disappointment to all. I know , I am not a director and if you ask me to make a movie I can't make one. But as a viewer , I don't want other movie viewers to be disappointed with more expectations with the misleading IMDB score. Kindly keep your expectations low with the the movie.

Why more people aren't talking about this film, I don't know. Underrated, IMO. Don't watch the trailer if you haven't. I went into this film with no prior idea of what this was about, and about half way through, I thought "there's nothing new in this film, but it's really enjoyable". Boy was I wrong...about the first part, which we'll get to.

I'm not a fan of the RomCom genre but I thought Thiruchitrambalam was a fun movie. Most romance movies are sappy or too commercial, hardly relatable. This, however, you have (or somebody you know has) lived through about 90% of plot of this film. It will take you on a nostalgia trip (not the easy-way-out kind) like most movies haven't in a long time.

The cinematography deserves a special mention, not for showing scenic locations well, but for showing certain characters a certain way that you can hear your childhood friend go "Kavithai da. Kavithai!" I didn't care for the songs in Thiru'balam, and I didn't care for the ones in this film either. Regardless of how old the plot is it was FUN! Relatable, humorous. And then, the part that I DID NOT except.

One of Ashok Selvan's best works. What a 2023/24 he's had! Everybody else was great at what they were given.

What I saw in this film, I have NOT seen in any other film before. Mindblowing? No. But maaaybe, yes? That last part changed how I viewed the entire movie. Credit to the writing team. How wrong was I about the "There's nothing new in this film" part!? XD But hey, glad to be wrong this time.

Don't miss out on this one. Hardly anybody is talking about it, I don't know why. 90's bois, you'll LOVE it.

In one word this movie is a wonderful rom-com with stellar cast perfomances especially Ashok Selvan steals the show with brilliant loveable acting. The female leads have also done a good job. But it is Ashok Selvan who steals the show. There are many brilliant cinematic comedic moments in this film with call backs to classic films and meme songs at appropriate times. I kid you not you will smile so much throughout the film that your mouth will hurt. With Nakkalites Arun also scoring heavily in the comedy. Overall a wonderful feel good movie which can be watched with family. The music could have been a bit better in my opinion but at this point i am just nitpicking. I have nothing but praise for this film.

Cheers!!
