Bad acting meets non existent screenplay!!
ganesh-jayaraman29 March 2022
Bad acting meets non existent screenplay!! Not sure whether the screenplay was even prepared before the days shoot... looks like the folks reached the set and decided what looks they want from each actor (eg - Akshara always gives that innocent girl look) and NASA a film out of it.

Too many logic mistakes - if Usha Uthup is Akshara's grandma, then how come she is going about her normal life when there is a death in her family? Why does Akshara decide to buy condom in the shop near her home? Especially when she wants to ensure that it should remain a secret? Phew...

Story Yes, Screenplay No
suckerfordrama4 April 2022
The movie starts slow introducing the characters and never really picks up. Not a lot is shown to indulge the viewer and the simple scenes in the film lack any intrinsic details. Except on a few occasions, it feels very difficult to keep up with the film. A better screenplay would have done justice to the story. And what was with the weird aspect ratio?

P. S. This was my first South-Indian film (I'm not counting the Hindi-dubbed 'blockbusters' I watched on TV with my family) and I like coming-of-age films, so I was all the more disappointed when the film did not meet my expectations. 😞

Realistic drama with hollow content and characters
m-ramanan3 May 2022
RATED 4/10 Language: Tamil Source: Amazon prime

Very few scenes and dialogs are good, but cant watchable this whole dragged drama. I didnt understand the message/intention of this movie. The making is realistic one but the content is so hollow. I felt the characters are not portrayed well and left as grey to the audiences. This is neither adult movie nor solid drama struggles in between....

Waste to time and talent
rohanbeandelhi31 March 2022
The story trues to be a dark comedy but comes off as an attempt at grabbing eyeballs.

Aimed at trying to make conversations started like the Great Indian Kitchen, it shows off excesses of youth as a defiance against social norms. Instead of delving into the long term implications of such actions, it merely glosses over the actions and thinks it is very brilliant.

Sadly, not so.

Script does not have the actors do much. All actors react like they have been sedated.

Within 2 days sudden raise of 10 star votes 😂
tkpssn1 April 2022
When I saw 2 days before, it has got mostly of one star ratings. But today I can see a sudden raise of nearly 700 10 star votes 😂. I hope the movie team is still working on it 😂.

Yawn fest!
moviemakerdj26 March 2022
Horrible screenplay and not even an iota of entertainment. The storyline is about a girl trying to lose her virginity and finding what she really wants to be. Many of the characters are shown without much depth and such a waste of talent. Not a sparkling moment or anything that is relatable in the movie. A yawn fest to say the least. In such a juvenile / young adult theme there are supposed to be punch lines and relatable dialogues at the least. The narrative was so boring and no element of surprise or even a sense of relatability to this.make a list of all rote to adulthood Hollywood movie and pick the bottom most of them. This movie is about 10 notches below that bottom. If someone puts a gun to watch this movie... please die.

How not to make a movie
softsagi-718-44464027 March 2022
Worst amateur movie ever. Newbie students can make better movie. Akshara matched her dad in weirdness with this. She makes Shruti a great actress. Never ever.

Extremely boring....
mailkarthy25 March 2022
What did I just watch? No point, hopeless and extremely boring movie. Easily the worst movie of this year and can guarantee that any other movies to be released rest of the year will not take this movies place. Really wonder what made the director think he can direct a movie? The acting was really pathetic and audio dubbing was horrendous.

Simple story, grounded, realistic characters
parnildh26 March 2022
A coming of age story of a teen girl raised in a very conservative and authoritative household. There are no sudden gusts of wind making the hair of the heroine sway. Or any slipping incidents that make the heroin fall into the arms of the hero. The hero is not an ultra-powerful hulk who saves the heroine from the bad guys.

The romance, sex and everything else is very realistic. This film is real life. Loved it for its realism. Though the story could have been better. Akshara Hassan tries to act, her acting is not without ease, not effortless. But her character is endearing and relatable. So are the characters of her friends and the boyfriend.

Stupid movie
nvvenkat27 March 2022
To show an orthodox beahmin family in a bad light seems to be the aim. If they have to show a generation's social issue they could have shown a familybwithou any religious connotations! Not worth wasting time.

A breath of fresh air
ramadevandurga26 March 2022
A sensibly handled adult theme that will definitely be a conversation starter. A must watch for all Indian women and highly relatable concept. A breezy 80 minute watch that won't disappoint.

Bad movie
saimeena-0876827 March 2022
Akshara cannot act and it's torture to watch her .She only make funny faces in the name of acting .

The script is bad . Wasted Usha Uthup by casting her .

A gutsy film
aishsuku26 March 2022
Kudos to the director for attempting something brave. Such a sensitive topic handled with great care. A minimalistic approach to film making made it an easy watch.

All girls can relate
sruthivish30 March 2022
A relatable film that helps us reminisce of our teenage days. Friends who stand by our quirks are gems. Enjoyable watch. Could have had more comedy elements. Definitions of how a woman should be has changed and the film capsules it.

One Time Watchable Movie
sathishsizzy30 March 2022
Akshara Haasan Acting Could've been Better! The Story was really Good. The Screenplay was a little bit of a drag. Overall One Time Watchable Movie for Teenagers.

Poorly written, could have been so much better.
TreeFiddy5317 April 2022
I see what they were trying to convey but good lord, who wrote the story!? This storyline had so much potential to talk about how times have changes, choices, generational gaps, society etc, but *smh* It felt like a waste of time.

my review
msjansigandhi29 March 2022
A film school student's review OMG! It's a teenager losing her virginity, but let's forget that for one sec. There are so many exciting layers in this movie that slowly reveals themselves in the second watch - the color palette, the aspect ratio, the beautiful long takes, the chaotic handhelds. A visual treat!

A New Wave!
kevinscool-3363129 March 2022
This movie has stayed with me I saw this movie at the international film festival in Canada and couldn't stop thinking about it. This movie has handled such a sensitive topic well and I'm glad it finally found a good platform.

We need more films like this!
rbalaji-5797529 March 2022
This movie dares to be different and challenges its viewer's morals. They don't always work, but they get all my love for coloring outside of the lines.
