Paradox at its best
chitra_mohan7 December 2019
This is a movie I enjoyed immensely.

Mu Ramaswamy as KD alias Karuppudurai and Nagavishal as Kutty were outstanding. I see a National award for Nagavishal this year. Brilliant dialogues and excellent presentation from the director Madhumita. Background score was perfect encore. Sarcasm aplenty, this will keep you hooked.

This is a story about the old man KD who is wanted dead by his children for monetary gain and the orphan child Kutty who was left to die at a temple. The kid like old man and the mature Kutty form an outstanding combination. The story treatment is absolutely fabulous and poetic.

This movie is more than the checklist that some keep referring to.

Phenomenal Movie
brawlerflash12 January 2020
Warning: Spoilers
The movie is simply astounding as it is saturated with messages from the beginning to the end. I did not expect a movie with such a different story in an industry which is laden with generic stories of hope, love and themes alike.

The story was also eye-opening as I was not aware of the concept of 'honor killing' (Not too sure if this is the right term) within the community of the elderly. I am really saddened to learn that this actually happens in India and I hope people would change their perception of the elders. This movie paves the path towards this as it presents the elderly in a new light.

Indians praise the Korean movie scene which has loads of movies with unusual stories. Guess what? We have an excellent candidate to contend now!

I only have one problem with the movie. The opening scene has a small logic flaw whereby the elderly person actually managed to walk immediately after waking up from his coma. This is technically not possible at all. However, bear in mind that this DOES NOT affect my opinion of the movie as it is still a masterpiece!

An unusual Love Story
saranyafca3 December 2019
This beautiful movie comes in a time where movies r filled with mysogyny n loads of fitments just for commercialisation to cater to the business of cinema ignoring the Art n craft of story telling in a natural way. Kudos to the director and team for the hardwork and uncompromising authenticity in bringing out the best out of all in this lovable movie. The cast has been brilliant delivering what is expected of them. The chemistry between kutty n KD just went straight to my heart leaving a great impact on me. These movies have to be lauded for the purity in it. The team has done a great job and I wish Director Madhumita makes more such pure movies with great art n craft. The story, screenplay, music, picturisation casting everything is flawless n just brilliant. Best wishes to the team for all their future ventures. U have stolen our hearts.

The best movie in recent years - don't miss it
sridharr-8854522 January 2020
A simple but a powerful theme portrayed brilliantly by Madhumitha. Ageing is not a curse but an experience and it varies person to person. KD's simple aspirations gets fulfilled with the help of Kutty. Both characters are intense and they have done a commendable job. I loved the expression on Valli when she meets KD. Interesting observations made by Hitler to find KD is more than Sherlock Holmes. Muthu plays a key role. EQ of Kutty is beyond imagination and hope the society matures to nurture such kids like the HRC person. It's a treat from beginning to end without any nonsense. Songs are very meaningful. Great movie not to be missed. Congratulations to Madhumitha

A Great feel good movie
narakibis2 February 2020
I watched this movie as a random pick without knowing any information or plot about this movie. As the movie gets moving, I was so hooked to it. The Thatha and Kutti lived their characters👌👌 Nice sentiments and neat dialogues!! Wish the movie was a little longer to see more of Thatha and Kutti. Hats off to the director for making such a novel-like feel good movie. Would love to watch this movie a few more times.

A must watch in a long time
Sennara16 January 2020
I watched this movie based on the imdb ratings and I was absolutely amazed. This movie is a must watch in a long time and that includes Indian cinemas and Hollywood alike. The performance of the leading two roles is so natural and real. The story is very interesting too. I also have to condemn the practice of Thalaikoothal. This is one of the most despicable things I have ever heard and I couldn't believe this is happening in modern India. What a monster would kill their parents? Disgusting.
