Okay, the live orchestra from Budapest is impressive, but I hope the story is as good as the technical aspects. Too many films these days have great cinematography but weak script. Fingers crossed for 'Chitukurinji'! 🤞
That cast list is massive! Naksha Saran, VJ Pappu, G.M. Kumar, Rams... feels like a proper ensemble. But I have to ask – why is an Advocate named Babu acting in films? 😂 Is that a stage name? Anyway, looking forward to seeing Hello Kandhasamy – always a riot!
A romantic fantasy thriller set in 1983... that's a unique genre mix! But honestly, I'm a bit tired of films that promise 'fresh storytelling' and then deliver the same old formula. Let's hope the dubbing team does justice to the actors' performances. Fingers crossed!
I appreciate the effort to recreate the 80s, but sometimes these period films get too bogged down in nostalgia and forget the actual story. Also, can we talk about how much planning goes into a film like this? 80 acres of set, international orchestra... I just hope the filmmakers recover their investment! A good sign though that they're already dubbing.
Deepshika and Rajith Menon are a good pair! I loved their chemistry in previous movie (forgot the name). The whole setting in Kodaikanal with Palangi Hills sounds like a visual treat. Just praying that the fantasy element isn't too over-the-top. 🤞✨
