Good movie , worth watching , nice attempt
muraliselva-6138828 May 2022
One of the good movie, just watched without much expectations. But literally movie came out very well. Nice plot , clear cut story line, good casting.

Background music also came out good. Not looking like work of the debut director.

Waiting for the next part.

Worth Watch
ashiknageeb28 May 2022
#PothanurThabalNilayam Retro heist thriller set in the 90s which is made on very low budget...Decent 1st half & very intersting 2nd half with twist and turns...Unknown cast but all of them have done quite well. Art direction, Dialogues and BGM stands...if the director got huge budget this could be even better...and the lead for part 2 in the climax looks worth...big thumbs up to the whole team...don't miss the movie...

Delightful
mr-145731 June 2022
I am sorry for those who feel this is an average movie. It was an absolute delight to watch. Unpopular faces who fared far better than most popular ones. Simple yet superb cinema. Kudos to everyone involved in its production.

Ok for OTT
bzbalajibz29 May 2022
This average film. The film is slow and dragging. Editing is not up to the mark. The film could be better if they have reduced the length of film. Walking and other scenes are shown which could avoided .

Could be better
pugazholi4 June 2022
Good plot, wish the execution was better. The 90s backdrop seem to be over cooked. Also felt like some 90s incidents were not correct, I could Be wrong 🙂

Predictable and boring! Regret watching this!
gokul-954933 June 2022
The story might sound good on paper, but the execution is utterly poor. Everything seems predictable and all the scenes looked like a staged drama. The actors performances were too artificial! This film fails to entertain us on a basic level.

A boring film set on a backdrop of 90's, the art work team had done a decent job. The lead actor's performance was Abysmal. Aha OTT had been providing quality content, they should have thought twice for this project! Couldn't tolerate the first part itself, please don't make a so called "sequel".

Excellent but....
naveenranger-4903519 June 2022
Warning: Spoilers
Film storyline and visuals was amazing and engaging according to its timeline,but if some humor is added extra little bit,it could have been a blockbuster anyway i just wanted to convey this to director praveen because his second part should hit in theatres and do a blockbuster.once again hatsoff to director praveen we want such more nostalgia films from u,i thoroughly enjoyed.

A definite watch
richardvasanth22 June 2022
Certainly can watch it. Worth the time spent. I like the dialogues in the movie and Hero has acted decently. Everyone in the movie has done their part well... Period film is not that easy to recreate and this low budget movie does the job well..

Engaging suspense thriller with lots of effort to bring the retro feel
senthilrohith3 September 2022
Engaging suspense thriller and good direction. The story keeps you very engaging till the end with some good twists and turns. Lots of effort have been put to create the retro feel (80s) and hats off for bringing that out seamlessly. Especially, recreating post office of the retro times is a phenomenal job. This suspense thriller makes us suspect different characters but ultimately ends in a treat to watch. Good attempt has also been made to add humor to the movie to make it a worth watch. The cast crew has also been chosen very apt to the characters involved in the story. Some good music and BGMs makes us humming those tunes post watching the movie. Immerse yourself in the 80s with this thriller and enjoy the feel!

good movie
realnandhagopal26 June 2022
It has its ups and downs could have been better at some parts as humor and dialogues, the actor/director parveen did a subpar job in the acting field can't blame as it is his first movie other than that I really enjoyed the movie has enough elements to grip you til the end.

Not everything can be "moodar koodam"
m-ramanan26 June 2022
RATED 5/10 Language: Tamil Media Partner: Aha

The hard work to bring back the 90's in screen is visible in the beginning scenes. Thats all after that it is the stretch of one simple story to feature film. The story/thrill/suspense all are so average. The leading pair is another let down, Praveen could have concentrated more in story/screenplay than acting. Unnecessary preaching is added in lot of places just to elevate the Hero... The comedy is total thud. Lot of scenes are so unoriginal and could have been better in lot other ways.... Not everything can be "moodar koodam"

A good locally made thriller
princeh994 July 2022
A fairly well made local film , a thriller shot partly in the former Tamilnad Mercantile Bank near my Dental Centre..Good effort to bring the Nineties feel of Coimbatore, the shots in the dilapidated Railway quarters in Podanur, good music by Allen and all the characters.

On Aha OTT.
