Felt good seeing the characters on screen.
Great effort by costume team especially jewellery . Great effort by all the actors.
BUT that's all.
I didn't like the movie but for these , Having read the book I feel someone who has not read the book wouldn't even grasp the movie properly.
BGM many places were not in tune with the story example piano for some scenes in an ancient Tamil story even if it was for the mood .
Sets didn't feel like old chola palace or temples felt more like some North Indian set like Rajasthan or Delhi and even resembled Bahubali many places which was huge turn off.
I felt the movie drag in the first half , lot scattered in the 2nd half and some songs unecesarily long.
Many of the intersting scenes from the book didn't feel so interesting on the screen.
Commendable job for having taken this magnanimous task of making this movie but I feel script could have been better as the book is so gripping & intriguing.
All the actors have done a great job especially Karthi ,Jayam Ravi &Trisha.
Definitely watch it at the theatre's for the experience 😊
