It can get real as real can get. It is not at all a regular love story. The cast is simply fantabulous. Vijay Sethupathi has given an hell of an acting. Every single time he out does himself. Just wow. Trisha is simply gorgeous. She deserves every artist award there is in Tamil cinema. The young characters played by the respective cast is simply awesome.
Such a film this is. I cannot get out of rams and Janu's life. The climax just took my heart out. 2st half is pure nostalgia of the 90's. 2nd half is where the story is. Tamil version of before sunset. Director has done a FAB job. Chinmayi is freaking fantastic. Trust me voice acting is NOT that easy and she blowed it through the roof with her songs and voice. Your feelings are dead if you feel nothing for this movie.

Being a huge Sethupathi-Trisha fan, undoubtedly this was a hugely anticipated movie for me. But taking that bias away, the performers delivered makes you feel the pain, those moments of laughter, nostalgia come pouring out.
As audience you can live through the characters' emotions.... Hats off to the director to have handled the subject in a mature way. With just one show a day here in Australia,vI watched a show that ended at 11:40 PM....It is now 6 AM and I couldn't shut my eyes for a second as the emotions keep flooding back.
Astounding penances of a relatively simple concept that is delicately handled and masterfully delivered!
A non-misser for anyone!

One the best movie to bring back school life...
All actor and actress performed well...
'96 Digged out my heart and put into a past world which was missed at the time. Great feeling, thanks for the wonderful movie done by Premkumar
A simple love story told in an engaging way.
This movie will break you, in a real sense. Time heals everything? Watch this one and you will understand they just fade so that you can find them again.
Acting and music bring the movie from reel to real.
It's unapologetic. Its sad. It will make you happy yet a drop of tear will come from your eyes.
Love hurts? It doesn't.
In the end all you can do is feel for the characters. But why? Because you see yourself.
A movie never to be missed. A reunion with old memories.
