A must watch. The film is an absolute entertainer with excellent writing and actors who bring the writing to life. There are no dull moments and every scene is thought through and executed to perfection. Kudos to director Charles for such a fine debut. The film traces the lives of a few people: an auto driver wanting a male child, a childless couple, a couple who have lost their child, a couple on the verge of divorce and a pregnant young girl. All these stories are slowly linked to a group of school kids and their school skit. There is subtle humour evenly spread across the film. Music is very good but certain songs appear lengthy due to picturization. There is one thing that I completely disliked: An auto driver beating his wife. In the name of reality the scene goes overboard. Autodrivers or lower strata people beating their wives is stereotyping. Violence against women in films should be avoided. The film could have easily been shortened by atleast 15minutes. Such movies breath fresh air into tamil cinema. A film for kids and adults.
