    Everyone put 300% into this film
    Wow...We wanna congratulate the cast and crew for delivering such a phenomenal movie. What made Thalaikoothal extra special was not the fact that it addressed euthanasia but the way the story was told.

    -The screenplay was rich in characters, rich in symbolism, rich in dialogues, rich in score, actually just rich in everything.

    We thought we were just going to watch Samuthirakani go through a dilemma whether or not to euthanize his dad but we got to witness other people's struggles too. These segments reinforced the scenario and excited us to keep on watching

    -Kathir and Katha Nandi had an effortless and beautiful chemistry 😍. The flashback moments demonstrated that indeed every life matters whether old or young. The elderly also have dreams, joys, & pleasures, and their age does not define them

    -The acting was so natural and pure across characters that we were literally transported into the film. We felt like we were in their midst as the feelings, settings, and dialogues were genuine.

    -Another important aspect of the movie was the symbolism of the chameleon. It was interesting how it was considered a "bad omen" then we saw how it all surprisingly ended

    -Many thank yous to the editing, set design, music, and direction teams, as well as the rest of the crew for the quality work!
