    Excellent story telling

    Here's a quick review of *Kudumbasthan (2025)*:

    1. It's a relatable comedy-drama about Naveen, a middle-class family man who loses his job and struggles to keep his family afloat.

    2. The film is filled with *lively humor, natural performances*, and emotional moments, especially between Naveen and his supportive wife, Vennila.

    3. While the story is familiar, critics loved the *honest writing, fresh comedy*, and genuine family dynamics; some found the pacing slow post-interval, but the climax was a big win.

    4. The cast, especially Manikandan, Saanve Meghana, and Guru Somasundaram, got special praise for their roles.

    5. Overall, it's touching, super relatable, and a heartwarming watch for anyone who enjoys slice-of-life family dramas.

    Laughter guaranteed

    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!

    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.
