Then Chennai

As movie begins, director's many nots remains unopened. Post interval all nots connected well and story concluded well. Screenplay is slow and that needs to be fastened. Expected more action sequences from hero but it was missing. No glamor and decent movie. If comedy injected it would be artificial and director avoided that much appreciated. A movie with most of the characters are new come out well. This movie shows inspite of covid inspite of many people couldn't run their daily life during lockdown few things went unstoppable is alcohol, Black money and IPL. Director showed the same. It's a wake up call to all. Family First is the msg I got from movie... Keep going Ranga and team... Worth watching once in cinemas...

"Then Chennai"- A promising first film from new director Ranga. The premise of the story is nuanced and original. The combination of thriller and soft emotions were handled expertly. The film's strengths are its crisp narration and impressive cinematography.

Heroine was fresh and fit in naturally to the role. The chemistry between the lead pair was good.

The characters with negative shades were etched out well, especially the abusive character of SK.

Some twists were predictable. Few scenes could have been more engaging/ realistic.

Kudos for some honest storytelling, sans masala elements- a film that can be watched with family.

Well suited cast selection and they did their justice to the assigned roles. Gripping storyline, Slow burning crime thriller with family emotions and story spans across covid lockdowns. Background music elevates the movie sequences well. Trio responsibilities, ie movie direction, production and main lead role are executed by the same person Ranga. Quality of making and colour grading tones the movie is extraordinary. I feel Still somemore improvements required in editing the sequence in the last 30 minutes of the first one hour portion. Overall nice package and I felt worth spending two hours to watch.

Movie is good though some minor mistake are there. ... director story telling way is good... over all feel good Movie. Last 30 min is interesting.

This movie is done by all new faces, very few faces are known faces. Only one song in the movie is way too good... get struck in mind....hero of movie ranga good show....looks very fit suits navy physique... initial navy training is stunning.

Heroine performance to be mentioned, carries her character well, villain role is written well in the story.... hero's uncle character stays in mind....

The efforts of the debutant director cum actor is well appreciated. I surely predict the hero hv good future.

"Then chennai" well made by the director it doesn't look like a first attempt director movie. The plot twists was unexpected and make us to keep guessing. Kudos to the entire team since most of them are first timer.

The characters are well developed. Everyone acted well in their characters each of them brings their characters to life. The cast delivered exceptional performances, especially the actors playing SK, Antony, and the heroine, who nailed their sarcastic roles.

The cinematography was stunning, In the Hero introduction sequences he done an excellent job. BGM was notable in some scenes

The song "pudhu vanam" is a fabulous melody with beautiful lyrics.

"The director's solo efforts in handling multiple aspects of the film are truly commendable and deserving of praise."

Overall a good entertainment movie worth watchable with family.
