Critics Review

Mature Content Discussed With Dignity!

Covers a noble topic with an interesting set of well-written characters who make the film neat by arguing their perspectives. There are pacing issues and at times the talkie portions galore, yet a decent watch on the whole.(more)

Real reactions make this basic family drama effective

Lijomol Jose anchors the film with a beautifully restrained performance as Sam. Rohini excels as Lakshmi, portraying a mother�s conflict between societal conditioning and maternal love with subtlety. Vineeth is believable as the staunch Devaraj. Anusha Prabhu brings warmth to Nandhini, while Kalesh Ramanand interjects situational comedy. Kaadhal Enbathu Podhu Udamai keeps it real and relatable. Sometimes, that�s all a film needs to do.(more)

A moving drama that advocates love without boundaries

KEPU is replete with metaphors�be it the butterflies symbolising transformation and personal growth or a shot of the lead couple running freely so others like them can follow, shedding their masks along the way. The film does not resort to the illusion that a single conversation can turn opposers into allies. But it does affirm that true love never wavers, no matter who you are. In the end, it reiterates that just as a parent�s love remains unwavering despite imperfections, love too knows no bounds�it transcends gender, fear, and prejudice, standing tall in its purest form.(more)
