Good to see Yogi Babu getting more serious roles. He's more than just comedy. The spiritual harmony theme sounds interesting for a change from usual mass masala films. Let's see if they do justice to it.
Anand Annamalai writing, directing, producing, and editing? That's a huge workload! Hope the quality doesn't suffer. The cast is solid though - Kishore, Vidharth, Lijomol. But I'm a bit skeptical about one person doing everything in post-production.
Cake-cutting on set during Yogi Babu's birthday - that's sweet! 🎂 The title 'Kaagangal' (Crows) is interesting. If it explores faith and humanity through an unconventional lens, it could be really special. Fingers crossed for a good release soon!
Has potential but I'm wary of films that say "unconventional narrative structure" - sometimes that just means confusing. However, with Anand Annamalai's track record, I'm willing to give it a chance. Let's see if it releases this year. 🤞
Why is there so little buzz about this film? It's been in post-production for over a year since the January 2023 launch. Hope the VFX and dubbing wrap up quickly. Gud to see Vidharth and Lijomol in pivotal roles though.
