While we had a peak of Nivetha Thomas alongside Rajinikanth in Darbar sneak peek and promo videos, the father-daughter duo from the movie seems to have impressed audience the most from the film. Several viewers who have caught the movie early on, have tweeted about how impressed they were with the onscreen bond and listed below are some examples. 

#Darbar -
Thalaivaaa you made me literally cry with @i_nivethathomas. The scene where she will hug you tightly in hospital bed made me to realise how strong the LOVE is!❤️❤️❤️

Character name #Valli for @i_nivethathomas , which is title of a special #Thalaivar movie for which he turned screenwriter, produced it, & made his film institute friend direct it. Beautiful tribute by #ARM by giving this name to the daughter character! ❤️#Darbar

Nobody in Indian industry had rocked Dad - Daughter chemistry as much as Rajinikanth did. From Nallavanukku Nallavan to Darbar, Thalaivar rocks.#Darbar #DarbarReview

#DarbarReview#Thalaivar & @i_nivethathomas scenes are pure love! ❤️

No wonder she’s addressed Thalaivar as Appa in all her interviews & tweets.

Delightful! What bonding man! #Darbar

Biggest advantage for Darbar is @i_nivethathomas & Thalaivar sentiment in second half has worked out very well

This will be appealing to general audience especially ladies

Nivetha's video message to Thalaivar in second half will definitely bring tears😕#Darbar #DarbarReview

Audience in particular were seen raving about the 'Kannula Thimiru' action sequence and song and even praised Nivetha Thomas for her acting in that scene.

#Kannulathimiru tht Rajinikanth's Balti with swag walk 😍✌🙏

Loved it when #Thalaivar warmly hugs the transgender person after #KannulaThimiru song ! It appeared spontaneous and @i_nivethathomas interrupting the hug with a loud shout “Appa!” 😃😄#Darbar
