Beautiful anthology
cinish19 January 2020
The first and the last stories were home runs. Very very relate-able.
While the first story was pure fiction, the forth one was very close to everyday life. Yet both landed right into my heart.
The third story did not resonate as much but still felt pretty honest. The second story was pretty good too.
The actress in the forth story stood out as the best performer in the movie.
All in all, it is a beautiful anthology. Recommended.

A collage of 4 nice short films related to love & life
saru20207 January 2020
4 short films very loosely linked with one after another but all of them are about love, life and everything in between a couple.
A wonderful, nice, feel-good film after 96.
Cab ride-sharing, Amazon's Alexa 👌
Samuthirakani well used after his first venture (Read: no social-message/advice) 👏
Finally, beautiful Sunaina after a very long time 😍

Does anybody love anyone anyway?
faroukgulsara2 May 2020
Picking a movie from a list of Netflix is like opening a box of chocolates. "You never know what you gonna get!..." I was pleasantly surprised by my choice. Sometimes it is the movie unheard of with an equally unfamiliar cast may be the one with the most exciting storyline.
This movie is an anthology of four unrelated stories with love being the common theme. Its four stories try to show that the emotion that releases butterflies in the tummy, the special feeling called love, at different age groups. Love needs are different at various times of one's life, and it carries a different meaning at other periods of their lifetimes.
The first story revolves around teens and love blossoms in the most unromantic place of all, the city dumpster. A slum-boy who scavenges the trash comes across some greeting cards, memorabilia and a photograph of a young girl. Curious how the girl would be in real life, he follows the garbage trump to get a peek at the owner. In summary, it is puppy love. Looking at the apparent disparity in social class and education levels of both, the viewers can guess the relationship would go nowhere.
The next one is the love of the contemporary kind, involving all modalities considered modern. There is the current Chennai landscape complete with spanking new highways and clean Hyundai cars, Ole call cab service, modern private medical centres and social media. Here a young man in his early 30s, who is all excited in anticipation of tying the nuptial knots with his gal that he found on an online matrimonial page, is diagnosed with testicular cancer. His beau bolts and he has to deal with the ailment on his own. Love is found again in strange places; this time in the form of a fellow occupant of a shared cab. Love blossoms by being an anchor weathering the storm.
The third story is about love in the twilight years. The traditional way of Indian life would dictate that those senior years of experience is the opportune time to prepare for the ethereal world. Not so in the modern world, it seems. Loneliness and fairly robust health necessitate romantic liaisons, especially when the offsprings are nowhere around to be seen.
The final clip is about love in contemporary times. After years of marriage, the spark that drew the couple together is somewhat missing. Husband and wife just carry on life doing their society-sanctioned duties without giving second thoughts to the amorous need of the other. Life, as each knew it, was the repetitive action of working at home or office, caring for the needs of kids and being trapped in the quagmire of the cycle of repetition. Remedy comes through the cupid work of a modern AI device.
Love, as they say, makes the world to stay relevant. At the spring of adolescence, with the raging of hormones, the youths think with their impulse. Nature needs them to be amorous. Progeny has to happen. The young cannot be wasting time in critical thinking and analysing. Continuity of the species is of paramount importance.
It used to be a time when society, which used to be patriarchal, dictated how the female species were left with no choice but conform to assume their role in society. With female empowerment came reduced fertility and threat of extinction. Nature fought back. Love had to bloom somehow, and it does.
It is love that holds a family and a society together. Left to their own devices, Man can be self-centred with their 'selfish gene' taking charge. The weak and the old would be left to rot. Hence, love manifest as compassion to care for the ones left behind in the race of time. Even the participants at the twilight stage of their years need someone to ride into the sunset...

Little overhyped movie
maruthuk-2147018 May 2020
I had heard a lot of positive reviews about this movie, before watching it, but after watching it, was not able to understand, why it got such a review? It was a movie with 4 stories, but did not like story couple of them at all probably because of the cultural changes it portrays in movie, however liked 4th one very much and acting of Sunaina was too good in that! Overall felt like having watched a short film, rather than full length movie!
Small things but essential
athreyaabinav4 February 2020
The movie is beautiful anthology of 4 stories
1. Without seeing and knowing the other but helping them in a way 2. A long and supporting love 3. Companionship 4. Lust turns to love after a deep understanding.
The over arching theme seems to be love and though the technicalities are beyond me. The story makes a case for love in different shapes and forms.

Decent movie
esiva722 February 2020
Kind of over hyped . It is a decent movie with a good work from cinematographer . I am not keeping the other Tamil movies as yardstick but when comparing with world class cinemas the characters feel artificial and dialogues feel forced .
Despite its flaws any day I would watch this movie rather than watching sum masala crap .

A clean beautiful romantic family entertainer
arunchandru-3728821 January 2020
Such a breezy and feel good movie.... No double meaning dialogues... No unncessary placement of songs no fights no mass scenes moreover no glamour and adult content.....
As per the title it's 4 episodes is rendered beautifully with ample doses of humour and emotions

A FEEL GOOD MOVIE

A poetry of love.
dhanushbalakumar8 March 2020
Slow and Good!!
sriramthestranger8 February 2020
The movie is an anthology of 4 stories of love and affection at different stages of life. It boldly speaks of taboo subjects. There is no interconnection between the 4 stories and characters from other stories appear as only strangers in current story. Kudos to the director for portraying seemingly difficult subjects with such an ease!! A good watch in Netflix.
A lovingly, sensitively, and delicately crafted piece of art
Bharadwaj_Vivek4 April 2020
What's with year-end and some wonderful tamil releases over the last few years? Dhuruvangal pathinaaru, Theeran, Aruvi, 96, Ratchasan, Vada chennai, Kanaa, K.D engira karuppudurai, Irandaam ulagaporin kadaisi gundu, and this cinematic magic, Sillu karupatti.
The movie is a visual, metrical, and rhythmical balladry, on celluloid. A perfect art is never without flaws, and that's the arty irony of it. It's always the perfervid pursuit of perfection that cuts the ice and carries the weight - which pushes the lookers-on and beholders to cerebrate and cogitate on the piece of work while luxuriating in its artistic flesh and blood. The movie gives the most beautiful definition of love - the make-believe factor of adoring 'The ONE' wholeheartedly despite liking just a few things about him/her. Love is multidimensional in its form (unconditional affection, artistic asseveration, etc.), frame (platonic clasps and caresses, etc.) and feel (intoxicating conversations, meaningful sex, etc.); but unidimensional across ages. And that's exactly what this movie sensitively, delicately, and most lovingly delivers, and how!
Being an anthology, in no order of preference, the pink bag is immature trance; Kaaka kadi is j(e)ustly affair, Turtles is platonic embrace, and last but not the least, Hey, Ammu! is 'techno''logical' closure. The warmth and gladsomeness scream a gogo in... every pixel (watch out for the poetic picturization of the landfill and the garbage truck), every character sketched (watch out for the character arc of Mugilan endearingly played by Manikandan - amazeballs...literally, and even otherwise), every musical note in the bg score and sound design, every cut, and every chinwag, duologue, and exchange. Dialogues are not simply words crafted to tell a story; it is as much art as it is craft - the art and craft of verbal action for page, stage, and screen. This movie stands like a masterclass for the same - so much rhythm, pauses, punctuations, and dispositions.
Kudos to the complete cast and crew behind this wonderful piece of art. Halitha Shameem, the mccoy behind this visual classic, was an unadulerated promise in her debut outing, Poovarasam Pee Pee. I was eagerly awaiting her second outing. Well, with no puffery or hyperboles, she ain't a flash in the pan - she is here to stay, and how! Overall, Sillu karuppatti is cinema with timeless pull, panache, and poise.

The charm slowly faded away
ngandacinema11 September 2022
We were so charmed by the first two stories, but then....the charm slowly faded. By that time, the plots and production became, regrettably, feeble
DELICIOUS
---Storytelling of the first two segments was very fascinating; we fell in love with the teenagers in 'Pink Bag' and the adults in 'Kakka Kadi'.
The stories were so intriguing that we wished they could become feature films, it was a pleasant journey. Plussss, it was really original to include the characters of one story into another creating a seamless transition
---The relaxing score ushered in a peaceful atmosphere
BLAND
---The last two stories, surprisingly, didn't carry on the elegance of the first two. In 'Turtles', for instance, there were way too many coincidental and fairy-tale moments between the elderly individuals, making it artificial. The lines were a bit cheesy
---Sillu Karuppatti is a tribute to love, hence, a vibrant color grading would have brought life and energy
---About brand advertisement...it was very much in our faces. The intentional camera positions on a specific product/service took away the flow of the stories
---Poor dubbing didn't do justice to the hardworking actors :(
