It is not easy to make the Bio pic of Legendary actress Savitri. She is amazing with her expressions and finding an actress to perform her real life character is a challenge. I did watched many of her movies and like her very much.

We must appreciate the efforts of Director, Producer, and other staff to come forward with this movie. They had to setup the environment of those days.

Direction and production values are pretty good.

Career best performance by Keerthi Suresh. She did exceptionally well in the real life character of Savitri. I had doubts if she can really do justice for her role, but she did it very well. We feel like watching real Savitri on screen once we involve in the story. We travel through her success and failure, feels the happiness and pain.

Dulkar Salman is very good as Gemini Ganesan and best performance by Samantha as well. Both of them got very important roles and did nice. We have many others like Naga Chaitanya, Vijay, Rajendra Prasad, Mohan babu, Shalini Pandey, Bhanupriya, Prakash raj, Krish, Avasarala, Divya vani, etc in real life characters and all are good in those roles.

Clean U certificate movie and can be watched with family.

Savitri died in 1981 and most of the younger generation may not have seen much of her movies and not aware of her. We need to see how this generation owns the movie. But for people who knows her and who loves her, it is a must watch film.

People were clapping when they displayed Savitri' s original pics at the end of the movie. Savitri lives on...
