    Cathartic experience!
    First of all.. congratulations to the entire crew for such an extraordinary work..it was just emotional catharsis throughout.. with the heavy impact by the deities. Mari exposes us to a different world altogether..he seems to be the artist who will define tamil cinemas next-generation.
