Simple and sweet

Good Night is a well made feel good drama where the story revolves around man having snoring issue and how it's affecting his life . Main positive of the movie was right at the first shot it connects with audience by simply establishing middle class vibe . Characters were well written and relatable . Film was funny and laughable at same time emotional too . Cast did a great job , especially Manikandan and Ramesh Tilak combo was great . Sean Roldan music and songs were on the spot and well synced with the movie . Technically neat visuals and with good editing .

Overall , nothing complicated just simple , sweet and refreshing feel good drama to watch with your family and friends . Highly recommended , kindly give it a try , I hope you like it .

Light-hearted feel good movie
shwetank-5472317 May 2023
Except being a tiny bit stretched in second half, this movie is a delight to watch. The screenplay, cinematography, art, direction, characters are fantastically done. Manikandan is such a natural actor and the movie is shot so beautifully that one can't help comparing it with the fine movies in malayalam cinema that portrays the plight of a common man in a manner that you feel you are there in it, next to them, and see it happening. Very immersive story with a great acting and portrayal of characters by all the actors. First half is a delight to watch but second half felt lengthy and some segments felt unnecessarily stretched. Songs are less but beautiful and are in sync with the story. One time watch in theater definitely. Sometimes we all need a break from the masala and commercial movies that show unrealistic things. This is good cinema technically and otherwise.

sweet movie
ankushchawla-9892724 July 2023
It has a very sweet storyline, it just look like a daily life routine, watched the hindi dubbed version.

It just look like your own life where there are few issues at office few small fights at home with siblings and wife and in heart every body is so attached to each other, care for each other and shows the real character of our Indian life style.

Movie has love, romance with a tadka of comedy and definately lot of U turn. It shows love of wife, love of men as a brother , son and husband hidden within ego.

Sweet movie a good family entertainer can be watched with family and give a strong message of accepting yourself and sacrificing for family brings real happiness.

finally a love story that makes sense!
ngandacinema8 July 2023
Finally a romantic story that made sense! Good Night was a down-to-earth and relatable film that used a common topic like snoring and turned it into a captivating entertainment

-Usually love stories begin the romance in one of 2 ways: either the man falls in love at first sight or he goes about arguing with a girl then he slowly falls in love.

Good Night took on a natural approach to Mohan's and Anu's relationship that it was very believable. And these two characters weren't the typical lovers in terms of appearance and behaviors

-Watching the movie felt really homey and comfortable. The handheld camera movement in the opening scene was a great intro to Mohan's house and family. And the soundtrack had a cozy laid-back vibe

-A common snoring problem was used to unveil some underlying issues that needed to be addressed and also revealed people's values. Brilliant!

Kudos to Raichal Rabecca for displaying a courageous and caring spirit, and perseverance despite all the hardships

K. Manikandan's and Meetha's chemistry worked really well, like a real couple, everytime they hugged each other, we sensed it😍

-The puppy was a gentle touch to the film, kinda like a reflection of Anu as both were "abandoned" and alone. But when love and company came into their lives, they were able to thrive and be happy.

A Tremendously Wholesome Movie
vabinandha14 May 2023
Watching this was great fun! It's not often that one can use a down-to-earth plot device to craft a funny and humorous screenplay like this. The simple nature of the plot and the way it manages to jump over hurdles make it a greatly engaging story for people of most backgrounds and classes.

The acting is another plus, especially that of Meetha Raghunath in her role as Anu. She gives the film a whole other dimension with her genuine character and humble nature. Manikandan and Ramesh Thilak were also absolutely incredible in their roles and were received overwhelmingly positively.

Overall, Good Night is sure to leave you with a smile. It is an immaculately written, simple, and innocent flick that engages people with a minimalist style.

A pretty enjoyable comedy drama with lots of "heart". [+64%]
arungeorge137 July 2023
Good Night has a solidly funny first half that establishes its core theme and conflicts, but the way it tries to solve them in the (somewhat stretched) second feels comparatively less entertaining. The proceedings remain realistically grounded throughout, however, a more serious tone replaces the humour in the latter half. The performances are uniformly splendid, be it in the execution of situational humour or sentimental scenes. Manikandan and Ramesh Thilak both excel in their respective roles, and their brotherly chemistry is fantastic to watch. The ladies of the house deliver a great job as well, and the writing gives them sufficient texturing and elevatory moments. Does the film offer a "solution" to its "problem"? Nope. It just tells you how to live with them.

Awesome feelgood movie
mosesgogle5 July 2023
After watching this movie I felt very happy, this is not any top hero movie nor has any high end CG or it is not directed by a top Elite directors It has a simple story with a non star studded best actors like Manikandan, Ramesh Thilak, Raichal Rabecca Philip and my favourite Meetha Raghunath.

The way Meetha Raghunath acted it felt like a typical shy person with all the negetive burdon place on her by the people arround her.

And same goes to Manikandan the way he showed his lack of self confidence due to his snoring problem and the way he shows his love to his wife through his tears in the hospital scene is really very good.

And on top of all that Ramesh Thilak and Raichal Rabecca Philip give a different dimension of a husband and wife relationship which I have not yet come across in any other movie And to conclude this is an actual family movie which may even catch the attention of children but the movie must be watched by all the husbands and wives.

Good movie but lots of plot holes
svinoth-209395 July 2023
Warning: Spoilers
Really a very nice feelgood movie in Tamil flim industry after a long time, nice plot and well handled.

1. But I too find some plot holes yes he has a snoring problem and because of which he is keeping distance from his wife while sleeping that's acceptable. But that doesn't mean they can't have intimate relationship between them atleast he can go to next room after the Intercourse or day time in weekends are there and they stay in separate home.

2. Second thing I felt could have handled better is his office life. He has a toxic boss and doesn't get proper recognition and hike though he improved his communication skills after marriage. He could have simply resigned from that company and moved to some other company if he has the proper skills why he need to stay there and suffer under him and complain as it is the only IT company. And manager just like that firing him without proper notice and he threatens the manager verbally won't it create a black mark on his career if he is going for other companies.

3. Climax too was a another cliche heroine planning to go abroad and changes her decision last minute and too much of drama before that.

Must watch for young fellows. Understanding and mutual respect makes life beautiful.

This film gives a positive note.

Natural acting and natural screenplay makes the movie watchable.

No masala simple and neat story line.

After a long time seeing this kind of movie gives positive vibes

Hero and heroine selection and their acting is applaudable.

No fights no unwanted songs no item song.

Screenplay carries whole movie watchable

This kind of stories helps people to come down from one's stand point of view and accept the opponent's view.

Overall i recommend this movie to all people, single or couple or family.

The challenges in accepting a man who voluntarily loves Upma.
chand-suhas4 September 2023
Mohan is an IT employee with snoring problem which prompts his colleagues to mock him as Motor Mohan. He is weak in English, which his reporting manager uses to humiliate him. After facing rejection from his office crush, he eventually befriends Anu, a shy girl who works as an asst accountant at an auditing firm. She is an orphan, who is deemed unlucky which has forced her into being reserved. They eventually fall in love and get married. Mohan's snoring problem starts taking a toll on their relationship aided by the usual misunderstanding and how the couple overcome these differences forms rest of the story.

This feel good film gets it right from the beginning by establishing the characters of Mohan and his family, starting off on a relatable note. His struggles at the office and his equation with the brother-in-law works well. Similarly, the characterization of Anu, being reserved and to an extent of being submissive as well, it is laudable that she finds her own identity while saving her marriage. The subplot involving the elder sister too strikes the right emotional chord.

The main focus remains on Mohan's mild sleep apnea and it's impact on his relationship, though it feels the story is revolving entirely on this, the characters with their performances ensure to carry the story forward. Slight trimming was required in the second half wrt Mohan and Anu's deteriorating relationship with Mohan being distant, that is only because the subplot provides enough melodrama. I would still recommend this for a feel good watch.

Though unique good storyline, found it boring n lengthy!
UmeshAditya8 July 2023
A feel good movie centred around the snoring problem of a man. Snoring that leads to humiliation, heartbreak, divorce etc. Moderately humorous with well showcased emotional payoffs but found it to be very lengthy. However, though there were positive reviews by film critics, I personally found it to be boring to my taste. Available in all languages in Hotstar. My ratings 5/10!

a spin-off of Selvaraghavan's film scenes
saru202014 May 2023
A feel-good movie with a very small storyline.

There are 2 scenes (spoilers here): Abortion, Snoring.

The core plot of the film is just based on these 2 scenes and nothing else and I couldn't help but think only of Selvaraghavan films, both these scenes/concepts are shown as just one of the scenes in his 3 hour long movies. I'm trying to highlight this because I really want people to understand the MAGNIFICENCE of Selvaraghavan's writings and we've missed celebrating the genius and pushing him into the acting field denoting how miserable we are as the audience.

Overall, it's a well-made emotional drama with a good mix of comedy/humor, love/romance, sentiments/emotions, and life in general but I see this entire film as a spin-off of Selvaraghavan's film scenes.

Above average
nebinjohns13 November 2023
Manikandan's and Meetha's character relation is the main positive of the movie. Otherwise this is just an average movie. Movie started very slow mood. After into of Meetha, movie goes to the heights. But the climax is very annoying for me. Duration of the movie gives slitly boring. Naa Gaali song is good. Others are just average. All are acted very well. There is not a top notching acting. I didn't like the performance of Meetha in this movie. Her dubbing and acting doesn't sync well. The place where gives the value of cooking and food is watch worthable in this movie. Anyway, nice attempt from debutant Vinayak chandreshakar.

You won't find a reason to hate this movie !!!
Chandra-me0528 May 2023
Warning: Spoilers
#Goodnight _ 2h 20m

#Good !!! Emotional drama with full of humour. Always a big fan of feel good drama. This movie personally connected to me for its snoring plot. Manikandan is pitch perfect for the role. Exhibits wide range of emotions thro his body language. Sean roldan's music and songs are biggest plus. Perfect casting and everyone did their job neatly. Special mention is Ramesh tilak. The perfomance after losing his child is terrific. However movie falls short in few areas this one is a worth watch for its content. #highlyrecomemded.

P. S _ As title says you won't find a reason to hate this movie. Go for it.

Excellent film
ganesh-jayaraman9 July 2023
Liked the story, moreover the screenplay... The story was well told without boring us and without getting repetitive... Acting was excellent - Manikandan, Meetha, Ramesh Tilak, Rachael and especially the dog!!!

Loved the production design.

In one of the songs Chennai was depicted nicely!!! Excellent photography - especially the Chennai, auto scenes etc.

For me the surprise was Meetha... Her acting was excellent. Oh yeah forgot the acting is grandpa (director balaji) and grandma (forgot her name).

Songs were good.

The premise and the story setting (water distribution, water filter, IT guy and audit / accounting girl) was very refreshing.

Feel good entertainer
m-ramanan23 July 2023
RATED 8/10 Language: Tamil Source: Hotstar RECOMMENDED

Very simple story and it is presented in full length feature film with solid entertainment and sentiments. Especially the heroine character, that is so lovely and so mature. Manikandan eased out the character and so good on this role.

There is no lagging moment and the comic moments are spread throughout the movie. Even some sentiment scenes are sparkled with one liner.

The climax portion of last 15 minutes are bit dragged and seen multiple times in Tamil movies.

This one is definitely the Must watch and best choice to watch with family.

An awesome feel good ride throughout the movie
reganrajan7 July 2023
Warning: Spoilers
The movie was slow and laggy at beginning. I thought this is just a normal movie which would be 5 out of 10 rating. Because saying snoring is a problem in neighbourhood is not realistic. Because snoring noise in one house wont be loud until the neighbours are hearing it. But later when the movie tried to highlight his feelings and how much he is hurt when people around him make fun of his snoring problem, the movie started to make sense. And when he is married, the problem became so realistic and well addressed. They showed how a moderate couple would handle snoring problem. And how the problem is not really a problem, there is where the movie ends with good feeling. Successful story telling, earns 10 out of 10 rating.

A movie worth watching and promoting
naren-reviews6 July 2023
These type soft romantic family drama movies should get promoted and encouraged. A simple story line with very good acting and direction. A feel good movie. Lead actor Manikandan is a multitalented person.. Lead actress fitted very good for the character will definitely take a place in our hearts. The family setup, conversations, happenings... we won't feel like watching a movie, a neighbourhood happening or in our family. But, Yes.. you may find flaws here and there.. but who cares.. in an industry that produces movies like hero making a villain fly... showing rowdies as heroes.. this movie stands out make you feel good with near real life story.

Another feel good experience
haripriya30 July 2023
Thanks to writer, director Vinayak Chandrasekaran for give a feel good movie. All actors portraited their characters very well. Special applause to Manikandan, Meetha Raghunath, Ramesh Thilak, Raichal Rabecca.

When the man with Snoring tries different methods to solve that, my inner self repeatedly saying that it is an issue for the girl for few days only, she will get adapt to the sound in few days. There is no one to explain that, to the couples.

The movie never lags anywhere, a simple story on a daily file issue given in straight forward screen play. Music, Cinematography, Art work all are very beautiful. I gave of 10 for the perfection and to encourage such a content.

Saw it with Family we laughed loud and Loved it!

Kudos.
