This movie will turn you into an emotional train wreck. The empathy, unluckiness that kutty has, coupled with his desire to put ruku's happiness over himself, made me cry so much. This movie has a great buildup of emotion. The comedic timings are also great, Balaji, vaiyapuri and Dhamu were a great trio, the doctor was funny too. Hands down a great movie.

Ok let me start with i loved this show when it first came out, I used to watch on ytv at 4pm when I came home from school, its been 13 years since and sometimes I watch the episodes occasionally for nostalgia and pure entertainment.. but here's the catch. The newer episodes are pure garbage. I'm sorry it had to be said. Back then, when spongebob and Patrick annoy squidward you wouldn't feel as bad because the plot was fun and entertaining but now the episodes are so cartoony, and actually grotesque that you feel so bad for squidward. Like although sponge and pat were im assuming teens to young adults and immature, they did express some sort of empathy and resiliency i mean sponge has a heart of gold. But in the newer episodes sponge seems so immature, like way out of line. The reason why spongebob was enjoyed by everyone was because this "kids show" was entertaining to adults as well, it had some adult nuances in the show lol and I'm not saying that's a great thing but the demographic was wider. The newer episodes limit the demographic to children, but idk how these children will grow up watching this cuz the show is so grotesque.

The 5 stars review are just talking about how eelam tamils are mad because there is a lack of representation, and the language is butchered?! It's not one-dimensional! It's not simply about the butchering of the language, it's about the lack of political acknowledgment. It's about representing eelam Tamil people as amalgamation of South asians, she homogenized our experiences as a whole which completely dismisses the individualized suffering eelam Tamils went through. It's about profiteering, where DEPICTING the story of my people th5roigh misrepresentations, in combination with elitist and extremist supports through the SL government, provides Metha with money. Its about hoq Metha LITERALLY had the support of war criminal prime Minister Rajapakse, DURING A TIME WHERE TAMIL PEOPLE WERE SHOT AND BURIED INTO DITCHES. 2009. She didnt create this movie with genuine intentions considering the fact that that's aware of the way in which the SL government perpetuated the genocide. This film depicts a story of a gay youth, persecuted for his sexuality, BUT how can there be a film that supports LGBTQ+ community when they fail to depict the political and social implications surrounding Tamils during the genocide! Just because Shyam is mixed race doesn't excuse the fact that he participated with Metha in producing a one-sided film. Even metha's actors who are NOT Tamil has decided to speak up on the Tamil experience regarding the movie, which makes no sense to me because you can't even speak a single Tamil word properly. I have never been so disappointed, to even think that the stories of my parents, and family, are ultimately misrepresented in Metha's film but endorsed by Canadian film corps (TIFF). Metha resides in Canada, that has the biggest eelam tamil community, yet misrepresents us. And I fail to believe that she had trouble in finding Tamil actors.

The main issue with this show is that this is BIG BOSS TAMIL. I want to aspiring Tamil actors/actresses, singers, filmmakers, comedians, producer etc. I have nothing against non-Tamil people but the problem is that THERE IS LITTLE TO NO TAMIL REPRESENTATION. If there were more Tamil representation in the kollywood industry then I wouldn't complain, but clearly you can tell by the amount of favoritism of light skin girls/actors in the kollywood industry and less ACTUAL beautiful brown skinned Tamil heroines! And if you are going to put non Tamil contestants, THEY SHOULD KNOW THE TAMIL LANGUAGE. THAT IS THE BARE MINIMUM. Tamil is a language, a culture and the community has shared values that non-Tamil people can participate in. I appreciate other Indians of non-Tamil origins in Big Boss Tamil BUT it becomes an issue when shows that are meant for Tamil people HAVE A LACK OF actual Tamil people. There has to be balance! Representation!

The plot of this drama is good, it makes question life and death, how precious a life is and etc., and the actors are amazing. However I felt like the plot was dragged out and I couldn't empathize with the characters or feel something during certain scenes. Obviously it's a melodrama but the pacing could have been better and sometimes the characters felt predictable. It felt kind of saturated, like yes cry and they're upset, but pace the story in a way that makes it interesting. Also the exorcist was a great character but I felt like he died down after that one altercation, I wish he caused more turmoil for the characters towards the end, could have been another great subplot to resolve. Other than that, this drama is ok.
