Synopsis

A stubborn schoolboy and his caring but financially struggling father leave city stress behind on a road trip together.

Moviegoers are saying

Ram's 'Parandhu Po' emerges as a therapeutic escape that transforms a simple road trip into a Ghibli-esque celebration of childhood wonder. Critics praise Shiva's career-best performance as the 'manchild dad' alongside newcomer Mitul Ryan, though some find the pacing occasionally sluggish despite its heartwarming core about preserving curiosity in our hustle-obsessed world.
