Finally, a proper family comedy! The industry is saturated with action and violence. A good laugh with an emotional core is exactly what we need. Hope the director delivers on his promise. Sam C.S. on music is a great choice too.

Interesting premise. The 90s nostalgia will be a huge draw. But I hope the humor is smart and doesn't rely solely on slapstick or outdated stereotypes. The cast looks promising, especially with veterans like Devadarshini.

Jai Amar Singh has learned under I. Ahmed, so the comedy timing should be good. 'Endrendrum Punnagai' was lovely. Wishing the team a smooth shoot. The title is catchy, though it reminds me of that Hollywood film 😄

The story touches a chord. In our culture, the mother-son bond is sacred. Portraying it with humor instead of melodrama is a fresh take. Hope they keep the emotions genuine and not go overboard. All the best to the team!

As someone who enjoys Indian cinema, this sounds like a perfect blend of heart and humor. The 90s setting is a global trend now. Looking forward to seeing how they execute it. The crew with Vishnuvardhan's blessings is a good sign.
