Fun-filled. This movie will make you laugh, that's a guaranteed. There's so much to take away from this movie. Every frame is worth it. Mani Kandan nailed it as always! I couldn't stop wondering how he picks such scripts! The director has a good future in the industry! Setback after setback! Even though this movie shows the harsh reality, you won't feel down watching this rather be uplifted! The veterans did a good job especially the Appa and the mama characters. I loved this family where everyone was imperfect. How the relations mock at you in the functions can't be portrayed in a better way by anyone else! This is so much fun, do watch it! You would not want to miss a frame even in the songs!
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.
The movie delivers a powerful, hard-hitting truth that leaves you with a sense of urgency and a touch of anxiety long after the credits roll. It's a real eye-opener, pushing you to reflect on life. Big shoutout to the Nakalites and the entire team for bringing this impactful story to the screen-huge congrats to everyone involved!
What stands out is how the film casually conveys heavy, meaningful messages with a perfect dose of humor. The screenplay is fantastic, with a Tom and Jerry vibe-full of comical moments and witty exchanges. The music fits the tone, though the songs could've been a bit more memorable.
Now, let's talk about Manikandan-he steals the show. His performance is absolutely gripping, and it's clear he's going to be Kollywood's next big sensation. His action sequences and impeccable dialogue delivery prove that he's a rising star. The characters he's portrayed throughout his career show his versatility, and here, he shines once again.
The Nakalites team, along with the rest of the cast, brings their A-game, with each role perfectly executed. There's a deep message embedded within this family-friendly comedy, making it a must-watch. Huge applause to the director for bringing all the elements together.

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.
