Another gem of a lighthearted lifestyle-satire drama from Manikandan, effortlessly blending all his socio jabs within the main theme of human-nature harmonious relationship, in such a humorously effective and delightfully simplistic manner. Loved the symbolisms and metaphors. He beautifully showcases how traditional farming was all about coexistence and not exploitation, and how it was linked to spiritual, cultural and existential practice. It never plays the victim card nor gets preachy at any point, building on its world organically with well etched characters and sub plots, all leading into one highly gratifying climax, that leaves you with a long lasting emotional gratification.

Only when one breaks free of their thoughts will they become God.

Holy freakin shit at last i found a 5 star rating film from indian films from 2022. I don't know how to describe what I'm feeling right now after watching 140 mins of pure and spectacular cinema. The way we got to see the current situation of farmers in India through the 80 something old character Mayandi played absolutely beautifully by late Nallandi (may his soul rest in peace) was very heartwarming and moving.
