It reveals an exciting new facet of Pa Ranjith's vision of the medium and the world. Not to be missed.

Rated: 3.5/5

Akilan Nagarajan

Film Companion

By using the contemporary and very conversational setting, Ranjith packs in a number of his thoughts and opinions which in themselves become the engaging force that drive the plot.

The Times of India

This blending of forms actually gives the film a vibe that is very new-age (like Tenma's unconventional songs and score) and makes it an experience that shouldn't be missed.

Rated: 3.5/5

Hindustan Times

It is more impactful than Pa Ranjith’s earlier films despite featuring mostly newcomers and lesser-known actors. Everything looks so real on screen and rarely feels like a performance.

Srivatsan S

The Hindu

This is Ranjith’s finest and purest film, till date. Not just in terms of what it stands for but also the form with which it presents. This visual language is a departure for the filmmaker too.

Firstpost

This Pa Ranjith film attempts to speak of why the personal is politics through a society that is rabid about heteronormativity, endogamy and is conservative.

Rated: 3.5/5
