    Avg Male HERO - A Simple Story Told Beautifully

    Writer-director Rajeshwar Kalisamy takes a simple storyline and crafts it into something deeply engaging. Balancing heavy emotions with light, feel-good comedy, he delivers a film that resonates effortlessly.

    Manikandan is the heart of the film, portraying his character's struggles and emotions with remarkable depth. His performance makes us feel every moment of his journey. The supporting cast shines as well, bringing authenticity to their roles.

    A film that blends emotion and humor seamlessly, this one is definitely worth watching, don't miss this out in theatres !

    Note: This film is for all the ages.

    Fun filled with Good drama have a emotional connect

    First half is fun filled & 2nd half is bit dragged but WORTH WATCHING

    2nd half last 30 minutes writing was peaks

    K. Manikandan performance in one scene (Dinning table scene, while he starting eating the food & their mother take the food plate ,K. Manikandan expression ) is too GOOD

    Movie has very relatable character, every one should connect with this movie.

    STORY PLOT ::: Naveen lives with his wife, Vennila, and his parents and is the family's sole breadwinner. After an argument at work, and refusing to apologize, Naveen is fired. Boggled by family pressures and financial struggles,how naveen.

    The diff. between a one-time-watch and a "wonderful movie" will come down to how much you can relate.

    There's a lot in this movie to unpack. This is one of those films that won't hit the same if you haven't been through certain things in life. If you can relate to the contents, you're going to have a good time laughing at the miseries of life. If you can't, you're going to find this film to be a drab.

    This film talks about how much we as a society value money and someone's ability to provide. If you can't make money, you're worthless because cash in hand makes the world go round. If you liked Manikandan's Good Night, you might not mind this one. However, the difference between a one-time-watch and a "wonderful movie" will come down to how much you can relate.

    At the very least, it's totally worth the watch it for the cast and the work they'd put in to tell this serious story in a relatively funny manner.

    Fun filled entertainment

    Laughter riot in theatre. Manikandan and Next home boy character is bliss to watch. He shoulders the entire movie. Comedy, serious, nervous, embarrassing all the expression he easily pulling it of. Guru somasundaram also did equally great. The chemistry between the lead pair is really nice. Heroine acting was natural to watch. All the characters had equal importance in this movie. Every middle class guys who struggled/struggling for money/commitment, guys who tries hard to come up in life can easily connect to this movie. No vulgar scenes or violence. Best part is directors presentation, rather telling as documentary it was end to end fun. Movie can be watched with family. Watched without expectations but turnedout to be very good movie. Do enjoy this movie in theatres.
