This movie reminded me of a local proverb used by my granny.. "Ooruku elam sagunam solumam palli, athu poi vilumam kazhani paanai la thulli.." It means a lizard makes noise and warns people (it is believed that lizard's sound is associated with approval /disapproval .. Seriously!!!!! Trust me it is funny).. But the same lizard which helps people always finds way to fall inside water pots and die..

Those who watch the director's youtube reviews would understand what I mean. If you wish to watch the movie, it's your choice.

Don't see the ratings. Just watch this movie. Maaran's Haters only gave low ratings. But the movie was awesome. Hilarious and Thoughtful Dialogues. Especially Gilly Maaran's Dialogues are another level. I can say this is one of the best political satire movie in tamil cinema. Music also nice.

RATED 6/10 Language: Tamil

Watchable political drama with some very god dialogs. The dead body and the religious political with that one is handled cleverly. The movie has average pace from the beginning to end and it gives some documentary feel in most of the scenes.

The story becomes bit predictable in the progress and the entertainment value is nil. Still the movie is watchable because of the dialogs and the twisted events on the screenplay. The small budget and Maran guts are really appreciateable factors in this movie.

One time watchable drama.

Boring story line, poor screenplay and several loop holes. The director became popular online due to the "third class way" he reviews films. He used that popularity to become a director, which is perfectly OK. I wonder what's wrong with people who reviewed this title after watching pre-release screening. Made a mistake by believing some of their reviews. Also I can't stand all that bragging by this director, as if he worked hard to create this useless stuff.

It is not a new concept as several people claim; some imagination with a dead body. Imagination need not be true, but "is it interesting?" is the big question mark. Is it a political satire? Yes to some extent. Is it a religious satire? There are several better ones and I wish people watch them before creating hype for this movie. Hey wait Mr Director... You missed including that illuminati non sense that you birds of same feather always talk about...

There is no head or tail to this one line story which the debutant director has chosen to film for two long hours. Two hours is short for a Tamil film, yet for this script, is hard to tolerate. In Blue Shirt Maran's own words, "does he think he is Bhagyaraj in screenplay?"

We are not told what is the main reason to take this film, yet we are told many WhatsApp forwarded texts as the message of the movie. The characters were made with some purpose and no growth at all, everyone is half-baked and ill-conceived from start to finish.

There is no plot development which is thrilling enough for the tension attempted to build, any school kid can easily guess what would come next. The performance of the actors like Radharavi and Aadukalam Naren are wasted. Although the comedy punches are well placed, they are all shown in the trailer and promo itself. After seeing the promo videos, do not go with expectations of a comedy movie. This is a tragedy, both in genre and attempt.

About the music, please ignore if you are not tone deaf. The songs are annoying and seem to showcase the director's or producer's friends, who just want to make cheesy faces before the shoddy camera. Even the few scenes which attempt cheap publicity by targeting famous people in Tamil Nadu are not worth watching and have already been done to death in online memes. If you do not mind all this, watch this, yet not with your family. The profanity here is intense.

Overall, the director makes a movie with a shoestring budget and has succeeded in creating a two hour long video. After making this, he could have seen this and decided that if he releases in YouTube, no one will watch after YouTube decides to not recommend due to several dislikes. Hence, he has shown this tearjerker to prominent personalities and promoted this fervently notwithstanding a national tragedy. Do not think the title "Anti Indian" is for this reason, this is for allegedly showing what is named so by some people. Yet, is this named so for being against the Indians who will definitely cry after watching this movie? Only the witty director could explain, as many are crying as to why they watched this movie.

In summary, if you are a fan of Blue Shirt Maran, stick to watching him on YouTube. Not even a single scene of him will satisfy you as commonly he is seen uttering jokes online and he does not even utter a single word in the movie. If you like watching a movie with a message no matter how ill made it is, maybe you can watch this with a lot of pain.

People who are telling negative reviews either they are haters of blue sattai maran or they just have an habit of expecting commercial factors. Understand this Blue Sattai Maran has give controversial reviews for movies which have high commercial factors he has actually given some positive reviews for which film which have art content I know he did only for few but let's consider him as a commercial hater who just dislikes commercial movies in that perspective you actually see a different blue sattai... And also people who have habit of watching only commercial movies they just really going to hate this product, they will be saying it's boring,lag,slow, where is the story? And things goes on and people like these will mention this film is an utter flop or useless film but remember this film has selected by authorities of international film festival and do you think they selected because this is an useless film and they don't have any other jobs... To people like these what I am saying is that this is film got some art values which actually connects you with your mind and emotions that is why it is an art simply just because you like/need commercial or having an habit of commercial doesn't mean this film is useless you just don't have an habit of observing the art in films and it's okay too.. there is nothing wrong with that. And I agree that there are few technical mistakes in this film and I hope there would be many but considering this as independent film these are just normal things and according to screenplay,story,acting,director's vision this film really played a good part.

Avoid this utter crap , total nonsense running the rounds in theaters in the name of a movie ,

If this is what a movie looks like God have mercy on Kollywood,

Boring from start to finish , where is the entertainment factor ?

If you are considering if you should watch this movie or not , kindly avoid

Below average attempt at movie making.

Blue Sattai slaps all major religious people....he forcing to us stay with Humanity...So give up the blind religious faith...spread Love ...spread Humanity among the world..Life is valuable..Be Independent.

Saying it as comedy /drama genre and most of the comedy scenes didn't come out well. Imperfect camera angles, lose story line and tooo much lag. The story losses its connection in between and struggle to take up. He could have done justice to his own reviews for other films. Overall don't waste your precious time!!!

The very con(most irritating part) of the film is that it starts, intervals & ends by showing a corpse face of the director himself who has been a very good critique in the Tamil film industry.

The film boldly conveys a strong message to everyone with a small story in the start targeting all the religious issues, made with a very good plot and a decent screenplay, basically a very good content-driven film for sure but this film now stands as a testimonial for why only content-driven films cannot be made interesting enough. The film tries to give a commercial touch but fails at it, the film also tries humour but fails terribly at it, the bgm of the film made by the director himself is appreciable however it doesn't serve the purpose to convey the message is the fact, basically, all the technicalities of the film are so poor that the content it tries to convey doesn't really get a chance to affect the audience in a big way as it is supposed to do so.

A very good example of why content-driven film cannot survive ignoring the other aspects/technicalities of filmmaking.

This movie is not worth the hype, the story is very thin. Music is very average, the director at least use the proper music director... 1st half is somewhat ok but 2nd half unwanted scenes are there.. The dialogues are only saviour but it like watching a whatsapp forward messages, the director is try to showcase the movie is better and different story, the truth is the story line is very thin and movie falls down.

Movie mixed with emotions , comedy and a good message. Overall it's interesting one from bigining till the end and it explains the politics in depth on how the common people are exploited by the public official's and religious leaders .

This is low budget film, so U can find some drawback in video, the camera shake in one scene is pretty annoying for me, but the story and direction is pretty good, worth to watch one time.

It's kind of documentry. Not even worth of watching once.

1. We spending money to get entertained/get some message out of movie. But we are not getting anything out of it.

2. After coming out of theater, am not having any single strong scene to discuss.

3. Even movie doesn't contain enough humor.

4. Totally waste of time and money.

Utter nonsense movie and plot is rubbish.. if the religious place is not accepting a dead body then just take it to the electric cremation.. they will accept any dead body if you have death certificate... Instead he made a bosring movie like this.. its boring its not at all worth your time or money..

Cheap production ..lousy camera angles .sound edit and mixing not good. Lousy script. Only 1 established actor Radha Ravi was good. That's was the 1 star for. Wasted my time watching a dead body and people quarreling it over religion. SAD.

Horrible movie...Wasted my time on this.. wouldnt recommend this to anyone...but its my choice.

Would have made better with good and better actors and a good screen play..

In 2021 without offending others tough to take movie In this movie Blue Sattai maran AKA Ellamaran created a narrative touching all sensitive topic without offending any religion

Stroy Revolves Around 1. Death 2. 3 Religion 3. Religion was never a problem it was people who plays with relgion for politcal gain

Trivia: lead role is a deadbody.

I loved Anti Indian Movie. It was a really good movie and I hope we get to see more movies like these. Every scene was enjoyable and I thought the story and screenplay were really good. Hats off to Maran for trying such a good movie with relatively low budget.

For a first timer, with a shoe string budget, this is brilliantly done. An important movie for the times that we live in told humorously. The writing is tight and exposes the fallacies of religious identities. Well done!

Why so many 1 star, this is decent movie, if you expecting masala than this is not the movie for you. Much better than most of the commercial movies which are done today with high budgets.. Need to appreciate BSM for showing movies can be made with low budget which are watchable and he did add in good amount of comedy and dialogues too, a one time watch movie..

First-of-all, this movie is not going to "entertain" you like other "Blockbusters".

Second, keep in mind that it is a budget movie. No galas or great CGI.

Mr. Maaran, the kind-hearted man that he is, has done a splendid job of portraying Chennai slum areas. Neat story, straight-forward message. A very simple premise with lots of interesting characters. These side-characters all have a motivation, a life of their own and the story is only a part of their life. (there is no useless character written just to move the story along). The movie unfolds like a well-written novel.

There is no protagonist or antagonist in the film. It has very bold undertones of current religio-politics (or politico-religions). This is going to rub a lot of people wrongly.

My recommendation is, keep in mind these facts. But watch the movie once, you'll gain respect that so much can be done with a small budget.

(Unlike other mega-blockbusters who are all yawn-inducing movies meant for zombies)

Best Movie In The Recent Times - Every Indian Should Watch, Highlights the evil aspects of the society & Infact should be dubbed and released in all languages & states. The same movie & situation if it was produced and released in Hollywood, then it would have won all oscars.

Great job for the story, screenplay & direction. Excellent Those who dislikes this move are only bothered about their well being & go watch some delusional or fake heroism movie with some item songs.

We need to encourage & promote these kind of movies to establish national integrity and harmony.

Jai Hind.

I expected something from director Elamaran. He clean shaved that religion as per our current situvation.so i just like that movie. Its awesome .But Cinematography is worst.
