If not for the 'big names', it wouldn't be appreciated.. Waste of time & money.. Better stuff to watch in Prime itself..

A not so good series of a short film. Maybe because they were all shot in a hurry due to this pandemic situation, not sure but that's how it felt. No film stood out and every single short film looked nothing more or better than the usual ones showcased on Youtube

"Putham Pudhu Kaalai" is a beautiful anthology exploring human relationships set during & after the infamous lockdown of 2020. Directed by veterans and young filmmakers the movie is a blend of youth & experience. Putham Pudhu Kaalai is gentle & delicate in treatment, yet delivers its heart touching messages on love, family, relationships, compassion, optimism, understanding and bonding to name a few. It helps that the movies is written in a way that it appeals all age groups.

Cinematography is excellent throughout all five stories and forms the backbone in storytelling. Editing is very neat and has no lags despite the movie being a anthology. Production design, costumes and makeup are good too. However though good the the music does gets goofier sometimes. Screenplay is deeply engrossing and very well written to keep the viewer fully immersed. All the actors & directors have done a wonderful work, which we usually don't get to see in Tamil movies.

Overall, "Puthum Pudhu Kaalai is very progressive and a rare gem of cinema to hit Tamil screens. The movie asks all the right questions time and again, fully touching the viewers soul. Absolutely recommended and a definite must watch for all movie lovers and not only Tamil cinema fans. A complete family movie, wish they made more like these in Tamil.
