My Dear Bootham is a potential fantasy film mainly catered to kids!
My Dear Bootham is a film that is strictly aimed at kids and several sequences in the film would look childish for the adults. Though the film had the potential to connect well with the adults, the makers don't really concentrate on that and instead, treat it in a generic manner. Director Ragavan heavily banks on melodrama here and that in itself turns a villain for the film. The emotions could have been organically infused into the screenplay with some seamless writing but what we get is direct, on-the-face messaging.(more)

Prabhudeva, Ashwath save this kids' fantasy
If the film works to the extent it does, it is mainly due to the two leads. Prabhudeva, who has often shown a flair for comedy, tries to elevate the material by giving his all, while Ashwath scores in the emotional moments, especially his monologue in the climax. It is the performances of these two actors that manage to somewhat overlook the flat filmmaking and the melodramatic treatment.(more)

Appeals to Kids
My Dear Bootham has a largely entertaining first half and an average second half. The director started off quite well but lost his grip in the latter part. This fantasy drama has enough elements to appeal to the kids, but for others, it ends up as a passable watch. You can give this a try if you love fantasy drama.(more)
