For this generation to explore Savithri and discover Keerthy Suresh..

the film only keeps writing off Savithri with nothing but respect, awe and wonder that's timeless! There is huge dignity in how her fallen times are told.

An emotional visual ode

On the performance front, Keerthy Suresh has owned her role by portraying the legendary actress, Savitri. Being a biopic, she has carried the entire film on her shoulders and is a major step forward in terms of performance compared to her previous roles.(more)
