Third user praised by saying, “First Half
The film takes its time to establish the characters & village backdrop. Setting feels authentic & the humour lands well. Radikaa’s screen presence is limited in the first half, Integration of Kamal Haasan’s songs adds an emotional lift & becomes a key highlight in elevating the film.”Second Half
The latter half shifts into high gear with stronger emotions & blasting theatre moments. Final 30 minutes are completely entertaining.”
