The movie has the potential to talk for a decades, Must watch film deserve to be received all this acclaimed. Performance of Sheela rajkumar and Santosh Sreeram is like to watch again and again.kutty Dharun Bala also did his job clean. First applause to Director. Chezhiyan Sir..
'To Let' portrays the day-to-day troubles of a small family of three in finding a rental house in Chennai City. The movie has an excellent plot that begins and ends with the house hunting of this family. Chezhiyan has delivered a masterpiece by sticking to a simple but powerful message through this film.
The shots and angles are to the point and do not deviate from the storyline. Casting is excellent and the individual actors have masterfully played their roles. The screenplay is probably the highlight of the movie as it takes you through an emotional rollercoaster throughout the duration of the film.
A must watch!
Now for my reflection of the plot and timing of the movie:
Indian society has many socio-economic layers that coexist with real but unspoken boundaries. The script here deals with one such boundary of Rs. 10000/month rent. Indian film industry needs to represent stories from all strata. Most mainstream films paint a utopian picture only existing in a small fraction of the society.
This movie is reminiscent of good flicks such as Gharonda. We need more of these gems to depict societal anomalies. Movie has deservedly won many awards and I am sure many more are coming...!
This is one of the few movies that will stay with you long after you have left the cinemas. Character development at it's best and each scene is very relevant to the story. The actors have done a phenomenal job especially the lead female character. The story itself is fresh and never been heard of in the past. Very natural and simple shots makes this movie stand out from rest of the mass entertainment movies. Kudos to Chezhiyan, I'm sure he is going to become extremely successful as a director.
To let is a never before told story in Tamil cinema. All actors lived the characters. Heroine actress remains a homely icon. Grea8 story and making. Mr. Chezhiandid well.
This reminded me of the good old movies by Satyajit Ray. Please bring up more masterpieces like this.
