Moviegoers are saying
Karthik Subbaraj delivers his most emotionally raw and socially conscious film yet, with audiences praising standout performances from Sananth and Rishikanth alongside Ilaiyaraaja's soul-stirring musical score. While some found the second half overly loud and preachy, most viewers were moved to tears by its unflinching portrayal of social conditioning and compassion, with many calling it a rare example of meaningful commercial cinema.
