Critics Review

3.50

Small story with layered, believable people

The film lands because it refuses to pick sides or wrap things neatly. These people are stubborn, flawed, and contradictory, and the script lets them stay that way through the end.(more)

3.50

A poetic masala tale of chaos, choice, and conformity

Angammal is all about. Just like the character, the film is everything we all think the film will be, and yet, it manages to surprise us by being a little more different, little more exciting, little more surprising, little more sentimental, and most importantly, gives us the freedom to engage, observe, debate, and yet, feel completely entertained by the blouse-hating, saree-wearing, suruttu-smoking, swear word-spouting, grand old lady, who just wants one thing in life� Freedom.(more)

Given that the world has witnessed Nangeli's battle against breast tax, this Perumal Murugan adaptation strikes hard

Lenin Valapad�s sound design is one of Angammal�s major strengths, immersing the audience in the film�s world by paying meticulous attention to even the smallest details. Mohammed Maqbool Mansoor�s music adds soul to the stunning visuals captured by cinematographer Anjoy Samuel, refined through Pradeep Shankar�s masterful editing. The performances by Bharani, Thendral Raghunathan, Yasmine and Mullaiyarasi also deserve commendation.(more)
