While I appreciate Aju's enthusiasm, I wish he had waited for audience reactions before declaring it's the "best debut for any actor". Let the viewers decide na? Otherwise, his positivity is infectious 😊

As someone from Kerala, I'm so proud to see our actors making waves in Tamil cinema! Aju's comedy timing is superb - even 3 minutes will be memorable. Hope this film does well in both states 🤞

The storyline sounds interesting - a musical comedy about father-son relationship. After so many action films, this might be the perfect family entertainer we need. Fingers crossed it lives up to expectations!
