Why it’s a Weeknight Watch

With soft box office and little lasting buzz, it's a mixed bag. Fine if it's on; don't plan your night around it.

Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.

Is it for you?

Who'll love it
Made for romantics and history buffs. If you loved The Young Victoria or West Side Story, start here.
The mood
Warm and romantic.
The pace
Unhurried and epic, at 2 hr 30 min.
What might put you off
  • It's long: 2 hr 30 min.
  • It's in Tamil, so expect subtitles (or a dub).

Two rival artists at Sivadas Swamigal's drama troupe compete in everything they do. While one of them goes on to become successful, the other fails in life.
