  Can you add some more information to the sources for those reviews, like the date published and (if available) who wrote the review? That would help make them more verifiable. ReaderofthePack(formerly Tokyogirl79) (｡◕‿◕｡) 14:08, 19 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep: Passes WP:NFILM as it has received two independent reviews.Jitendra indulkar (talk) 12:36, 20 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment. The reviews are images. But I see problem here. The page says the review from Dinamalar and Malaimalar but the reviews sort of show identical views and do not show if they are from Dinamalar and Malaimalar. Dinamalar says "Producer Anoop Ratna is playing the hero Karthi. Megha, Kannan, Nizam Calicut, Thangamuthu, Suhail, Pakar, Sandy, Abhinav, Gayatri have acted with him. There is nothing wrong with their acting. Through this story, director S.M. shows how bad people are when they are alone. He has said. The film puts forward the idea that women should not always allow themselves to be surrounded by loneliness. Cinematographer Arun T. Sasi is to be commended for showing the beauty of the forest. Music composer Kiran Jose has composed the background score well." Malaimalar says "The film tells us that women should always be aware that they should not allow themselves to feel lonely. Cinematographer Arun Sasi is commendable for bringing out the beauty of the forest. Although the characters do not speak much in the film, the background music is used throughout the film. The weakness of the film is the lack of compelling scenes." One more source from Dinakaran, is hardly a review about the film and it is very amateurly written review that is also sort of identical to above reviews that says "The actors have acted appropriately for the roles of Dr. Karthi, Megha, and Sandy Akbar. Producer Anoop Rathna himself plays the hero Karthi. Along with him, Megha, Kannan, Nizam Calicut, Thangamuthu, Suhail, Bakkar, Sandy, Abhinav, and Gayathri act. There is no flaw in their acting. Cinematographer Arun T. Sasi is commendable. Kiran Jose has composed the background music well. The film is written and directed by S.M." This does not seem to come from professional critics. @Monhiroe: and AShiv1212. RangersRus (talk) 16:33, 24 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  First, I want to clarify that I have not added any of my own words in this; I have only translated Tamil into English and included it here. If you want, I can copy the Tamil language as it is and give it to you here. Then you can translate it into English yourself and satisfy your mind. AShiv1212 (talk) 17:02, 24 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  Research was after reading and translating and that is what I have shown in the comment with translation above. RangersRus (talk) 17:08, 24 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  RangersRus (talk) You have raised very important aspect with deeper assessment. Agree with above views. Rahmatula786 (talk) 17:12, 24 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  Local newspaper journalists are often not big, well-known names. They are either still learning the ropes or write like copy editors. For example, if you look at Kannada film reviews from 2011, you’ll notice that 3-4 newspapers or news channels would simply copy each other’s content.

  More importantly, smaller films don’t get as much news coverage as they deserve, and whatever coverage they do receive often results in reviews of this kind AShiv1212 (talk) 17:20, 24 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep. It is a notable film that just came out this year two weeks ago. I see it in IMDB and think it will be reviewed more as time goes on. Ramos1990 (talk)
