DialR4Review RATED 8/10

A compelling survival drama indeed. Initially expecting a low-budget production with a few highlights based on the synopsis, I was pleasantly surprised by its outstanding execution and script. Despite the confined setting, the film captivated with its engaging narrative and clever rationale, albeit seemingly miraculous. It maintained a strong hold on the audience's attention from start to finish, concluding with a satisfying climax. The screenplay adeptly handled both the refugee and survival elements at sea, relying less on dialogue and more on conveying the intense struggles of survival and the plight of refugees. This movie is definitely worth watching.

DialR4Review RATED 7/10

As a movie it is below average but I cant rate it low just because the topic they took to discuss with backdrop of God. That boldness and some solid message make me rate on higher side. This is definitely should not be rated as A, it should be PG or UA. Highly recommended to watch as parent-kid. The God factor and helping with hints are Ok, but the court arguments are very outdated. The ultimate backbone is supposed to be the court arguments, but it is not as satisfactory. Most of the court scenes are just one sided argument without much logic. One time watchable.

DialR4Review RATED 6/10

The movie is solid drama and delivers the much needed social message. Lot of good dialogs and all characters done their job very well. As usual Cheran's over acting helped some time and irritates most of the time. The second half sequences are more or less like masala movie, not authentic one. It failed to show the confronts, instead it shows the revenge feeling only. The court scenes are not even close to serial drama. The arguments and Judge comments are like two friends arguing about the social issue in social media. If they put more logic to the court scenes, it would have more solid one.

DialR4Review RATED 5/10

The first failure of this movie is the cast and immediate second one is witting. This is not even close to the directors earlier movie, very half backed one. Premji's real life character is aptly fit for the lead role but his acting skills killed the movie. Other than police and Judge all other characters are total mis cast and the ladies are with full glossy makeup in pakka village backdrop. This adds the feel of serial drama. There are very few funny/good moments, but we cant sit throughout the movie just for these few good moments.

DialR4Review RATED 8/10

There are numerous unexpected elements within the film, yet it stays close to its central theme. The unveiling of information greatly engages the audience. I highly recommend watching it with a top-notch sound system for the full experience. The flight scenes, moments in the rain, and the Jenga games are particularly enjoyable with an Atmos sound system. Despite a small cast, limited setting, and extended duration, the continuous series of developments adds to its intrigue. While it may evoke similarities to other apocalypse-themed movies, the quality of the cast and production significantly enhances this film. There are some open questions and logical misstates, but they are not disturbing the whole viewing experience.

The first 10 minutes and last 10 minutes are applause worthy making and acting. In between the movie was good but dragged. The very positive point is that there is no serial type of film making and no lagging moments. Another strength is that the short run time of the movie. This is not perfect, but the acting and short running time overcome all the mistakes in the writings. Don't expect some classic drama, just go with the expectations of the masala drama, you will be surprised. Good time pass movie to watch with family. Highly recommended.

DialR4Review RATED 9/10

A standout Tamil film in recent times, this movie resonates despite its entirely posh and urban setting, as it taps into universal emotions. What truly stands out is the relatability of the story for every couple. Sharabha's performance was exceptional; she truly immersed herself in the character, becoming the backbone of this film. Seeing Shri on screen after a long hiatus was a most welcome return. This film is incredibly sensible while maintaining excellent entertainment value. There isn't a single moment of lag or any hint of preachiness. The writing is brilliantly crafted, ensuring that the audience remains engaged, much like the title suggests. It's a definite must-watch.

The film was genuinely shocking, primarily due to its basis on a real-life incident, which heightened the tension throughout. The sequences of scenes had the potential to unfold in various directions, yet they followed a linear path of misfortune, possibly due to the interweaving of multiple real life incidents. At a certain juncture, the accumulation of wrong turns became overwhelming and detracted from the movie's realistic factor. However, the character who emerged in the climax to salvage the situation provided a sense of relief. It's worth watching once to gain awareness of such peculiar situations.

I started to watch with low hopes and it ended as surprisingly good watch. I would recommend the same, lower your expectation, you will get surprised. All the characters are written very well and done decent job. The story was simple and there is no lagging moment. Sometimes the making was bit amateur, but not so bad. This one is the real OTT material. The luck factor was used only in the intro scenes after that nothing. Even the real estate moments are more like filling gaps, and adds more logical holes. Towards end it makes lot of loose ends and SUBAM. One time watchable to kill the time.

DialR4Review RATED 10/10

CAUTION: This is world class movie with as much as depression you can get from one movie The success of this movie is primarily owed to the boy, who deserves full credit. Following closely behind is the director, who crafted the boy's character to be incredibly courageous and compelling. The execution was superb, with each cast member fitting perfectly into their respective roles. Viewing this wasn't akin to watching a film; it felt more like observing a struggling neighbor through your window. This sensation is the film's greatest asset. The boy and his journey are the whole movie. The family, migration, work issues they had shown along with his journey was so awesome. Must watch for all cinema lovers.

DialR4Review RATED 8/10

Even though the story and ending is bit depressing one, the characterisation, cast and screenplay make you sit tight throughout this presentation. I liked the authenticity of characters and skillful entertaining presentation. Definitely this will not be everyone's cup of tea. Either you love this one or just hate it. The step by step transformation of Vaishnavi is the real core and it was conveyed completely. The presentation was so natural till the climax, the climax portion was bit abrupt and aimed to add more depression note. Lot of characters are hanging without any conclusion but the movie ended.

This one is like Anthology stories which has connecting knots across each and every episodes. Each episodes have separate story at the same time they have the connecting line from the beginning to end. The connecting line is so brilliant and sometimes make you feel wow. Felt some stories ended abruptly without apt ending, but they justified all stories ending in the last episode. It has some melodrama tone, but they never over done it with cliche moments, that is the best part of this series. The cast is perfect and they take you into the story completely. Worth the watch.

This is good time pass serial and also can be watched with family. Watched the Tamil dubber version, still it holds the attention. The first episode was bit templated one and starts with routine characters. Then it starts to pick up quickly after that. Except that 25Lakhs loan mystery, all other things are seen in other movies. But they maintained the good pace of story telling on each episode. Especially the ending and and finishing episodes are fun to watch. Dont check for logic, this is just a average family entertainer with some feel good ending.

The story was bit interesting same like title. But it has no other interesting scenes in the whole length. Felt bored and even irritated in lot of scenes. We had seen these family sentiments and valuing father strictness after dead. None of the scenes looks original, all are seen in multiple times in lot other movies. For me the Gay concept also not handled in matured way. All the sentiments look like forcefully inserted. From the beginning to end not even single scene holds my attention. It was like sitting on boring lecture hall. Just skip this on

The beginning was ultimate and it was ROFL. But they failed miserably to carry that one till the end. The movie was too simple and waiting for some banging moment till the end. But ended with that simplicity in the end also. There are some good funny and feel good moments in this movie. But that is not enough to carry the movie for 2 hours. Finally felt it was dragged. The characters are bit interesting and the story also. There is a big lag in the middle portion. The movie starts to sparkle when Vincy starts appear in the end portion, but that also not satisfying. This is one time decent watch.

The first two episodes sets the base for the movie and highly predictable each and every scene. Bear these one, then it started its pace and content with further episodes. The content and the dialogs are the best part of this series. And the director stick to that one till the very end of the series. The cast and acting was perfect. The dialogs are so hard hitting and some scenes are very bold and straight to the point. Highly recommended...
