Putham Pudhu Kaalai

Putham Pudhu Kaalai is a fresh breath of air among the recent online platform streaming releases.. 5directors joined hands for short tales of love, hope and warmth.. My favourite of the anthology is Sudha Kongara's Ilamai Idho Idho - breezy love story of a young and elder couples, well acted and delightfully narrated out of her comfort zone!

Avarum Naanum(GVM) - Heart warming tale of granddaughter(Ritu) and uncle(MS Basker aced it).. Kanna Thoothu Poda track(Govind Vasantha) in Bombay Jayshree voice is sheer bliss!

Reunion(Rajiv Menon) - Story of a reunion between 2 school mates, one of them affected by covid, moments of despair and repair.. Neatly done!

Coffee anyone(Suhasini) - Story of 3sisters and relationship with their ill mother and care taking father.. this was missing the emotional depth, fall short for me but still okayish!

Miracle(Karthik Subbaraj) - Man ends the anthology with a smart cracker! Humourous with his trademark touch of twist! Fun ride!

Overall, a brilliant attempt and feel-good narratives of people relationships amidst this covid outbreak with beautiful music score all over it, well delivered! More of this please!

This anthology movie is a collection of five different stories based on lockdown memories. I enjoyed the first and the last story - others didn't work for me.

It was a feel-good attempt to bring a smile on your face.

Liked all the stories, last one was my most favourite.

Really liked the order in which the movies were arranged. Suhasini's "Coffee anyone" is just fantastic, loved it! The feel it gave, and the performance of the artists.. It was an amazing experience! And the ending by Karthik's "Miracle", just bliss..😄

Barring the first and last shorts from Sudha Kongara and Karthik Subbaraj, others are quite normal and not that engaging. The signature styles of every director is visible though we know only the titles. While most of the shorts deal with emotions and separation during the lockdown, the last short - "Miracle" dealing with petty theft is absolutely hilarious and well written. Good one from Amazon Prime!!
