Subramani Worst ever comedy movie Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/27/25 Full Review Birithivy Y Madha Gaja Raja - 6/10. How crazy is it that 2025’s first tamil blockbuster happens to be a decades old film! Its been 12 years since MGR was supposed to release, and finally, with the grace of good luck and things falling into place, the movie is finally out. Families seem to be enjoying this, and I’m glad they are. But in my honest opinion, there’s nothing really special here. I think the thing is is that people are craving something easy and something nostalgic, and MGR came at the right time. This is a Sundar C film through and through, and with the hype surrounding this movie being that its funny, I was disappointed with the comedy. I guess there’s a story here in the second half, but that first half felt like a compilation of different scrapped ideas. Santhanam is in comedic form here, and considering this was shot during his peak period as a comedic star, it comes as no surprise he’s good here. It makes you yearn for him to return to being a supporting actor/comedian, as that was always his strong suit. The dead body comedic sequence with him, Vishal, and Manobala was actually funny, and probably the highlight of the movie. But outside of him, the comedy here is outdated and a little bit goofy and over the top. In comparison to Kalakalappu (it makes me wonder how Sundar C went from the brilliance of that comedy to this), this lacks. Its also wonderful to see some long gone stars here. Mannivanan, Chitti Babu, Manobala, and some others who have passed are here, and its nice that we get this time capsule of them here. But outside of these sentiments and Santhanam, this is just a regular potboiler commercial film. Punch dialogues, over the top action, unnecessary romantic tracks and songs, and colourful sets are all here. I guess this worked for people cause they miss movies of this nature. Movies with big families and friends groups. Movies with a familiar storyline with a silly vibe to it. I can’t hate cause its nice when tamil cinema has variety, even if some of the variety doesn’t work for me or others. A throwback film which will work for you if you like films of this nature.
