I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.
This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.
The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one
The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
Save yourself 3 hours of precious time by skipping this one. Mahalakshmi and Deepan Chakravarthi are two adequate reasons to stay away from this Titanic of a movie. Utterly unredeemable; Ilayaraja's lovely songs are wasted here. Kamal appears in a forgettable cameo.
