It is NOT like a documentary. Not like a Masala .... I like it... we need movie like this... not like Remo, Ravanan, Sura..etc.... need to talk about real people, issues, etc...... We need dance, song... But we need this more...

My native is Ooty which is a major part of Western Ghats and I can relate this with the tea estate scenario where small farmers are struggling a lot. Special kudos to the director for the amount of study he has done. Looks like he has lived with the people there for few years and has given a great output with non professional actors. Camera work was amazing and Raja sir has given his magical touch only in scenes where music was necessary which is his speciality.

This movie highlights the stark realities of life in the Western ghats. The director deserves kudos for completing the movie with debut actors. At the end of the movie, you will feel like being on a hill locality for a while.

commies lose, land mafias win, same old drum roll! sad, but this is exactly what we don't want it.. no? why are we still behind this? Is it that bad in reality, and it reflects some real life situation like this? I understand to some level, but this can't be true in every case. something really wrong with our westernized culture, only since british & islamic invasion.. before that, we were the richest nation on the planet.

A very nice movie. Sometimes back in one of the Oscars in USA, one of the recipients said " when you make a movie, tell a story which relates to the ordinary person". This movie is spot on. Produce more like this and we will watch and support. Kudos to the the director and producer and of course to the maestro.

This movie takes us on the journey through western ghats at different level! It's amazing how the director captures every detail starting from people, language, building structures, innocence and purity that used to exist in the villages, how they all stay connected from the top of hill to the bottom of the hill through their simple professions! wow! this movie is a master piece! Not sure if we can ever go back to be like those innocent souls ever!

If you are looking for entertainment it is likely you won’t enjoy this film. If you wish to see a tiny part of human survival in the face of extraordinary struggles of life, you will see that portrayed very well. It may not be box office success, but a milestone in Tamil movie industry.

What the faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaak!!!!!!!! I've never seen a movie like this, it just reminds even me where I come from. I'm absolutely sick of watching bull crap Tamil movies with mass actors like Rajani Kamal Ajith Vijay etc giving us a cart load of bullshit on a regular basis without fail. This movie just took my breath away. No mass actors, No complicated storyline but a very simple storyline, i.e reality. Some scenes made my eyes tear. Lenin Bharathi and team, you guys are absolute legends for giving us a movie like this - thank you very much!

No words to appreciate the brilliance. It is a peep into life of Ghat people via this screenplay. What happens towards the end of the movie is the slap on the face of reality. Kudos ! A quality watch and made me rethink many of moral aspects in many ways!!!!!!

This movie almost made me cry at the end. A more touching movie and it shows the real struggle of people who are trying to live life daily. I think God to have given me a stable life. This is real for a lot of people who are in the near poverty zone and trying to come up in life. Hats off for amazing direction and extensive study and research.

Thanks for rating!
