Finally, a film that dares to talk about the dark realities of society. 'Under 18' seems like a much-needed wake-up call about crime affecting families. The fact it's based on true events makes it even more gripping. Kudos to the team for choosing real locations! 🙌
Great casting! Kiccha Sudeep's entry will definitely attract a wider audience. However, I hope the film doesn't become too preachy. We need more stories that balance realism with entertainment. Let's see if director Karthik can deliver after working with Vetrimaran sir.
Interesting to see Kiccha Sudeep collaborating with Tamil cinema again! The combination of a strong social message and family emotions could resonate well. Hope Sam C S delivers a memorable background score too.
Aishwarya Rajesh is a talent powerhouse, and pairing her with Vikranth and now Sudeep is exciting! I just hope the film doesn't drag with too much melodrama. Real-life crime stories need raw, honest treatment. Fingers crossed! 🤞
The team is promising 'ground realities' but I hope they don't sensationalize the crime aspect. Films like this have social responsibility. Still, with Velraj's cinematography and a strong cast, this could be a powerful watch. All the best to the team!
