Overview
- The Vignesh Shivan film, which opened Friday, drew praise for its concept, glossy futurism and Anirudh Ravichander’s score as some viewers called the execution patchy.
- Set in 2040 Chennai, the story imagines a matchmaking app that steers love lives, with Pradeep Ranganathan, Krithi Shetty and SJ Suryah leading the cast.
- At Tuesday’s Chennai pre-release event, Nayanthara broke her usual no-promotion stance and her surprise stage entry left Shivan visibly emotional.
- A day before release, Nayanthara and Shivan visited the Tirumala temple to offer prayers and greet fans.
- The release caps a winding path that began with a 2019 announcement, a shelving and 2023 revival, and multiple postponements before landing on April 10.
