Dada

Dada is almost like a marriage between a Radha Mohan film and a Selavaraghavan film. The film is emotional but is equally fun with a strong undercurrent of tasteful humour. Such good writing is ably handled by its impressive cast.

The sequences and conflicts in the film aren't completely new, but the manner in which they are entertainingly presented with the right mix of emotions deserves praise. Dada's target seems to be young audience, but the right packaging of emotions and instantly likeable characters are adequate enough to attract all sections of audience.

Kavin's Dada is one such film that has its emotions in the right place. It demonstrates the battles that Manikandan (Kavin) faces while trying to make a good life for himself and his child, with some lighter moments. Overall, Dada is a well-written drama with the right mix of comedy, emotion, and love.

DaDa is one film that has managed to capture the balance to a large extent. Director Ganesh K Babu's DaDa has weaved a heartfelt story that is layered and addresses a lot of issues. DaDa is a heartwarming film that talks about parenting and relationship woes.

The most refreshing aspect of DaDa is that it sends out a very important message loud and clear – parenthood is gender neutral. As much as DaDa is emotional at times, it's also thoroughly enjoyable thanks to the use of humour to lighten the mood, and the writing deserves a lot of praise as the film stays away from predictable moments.

In DaDa, debutant Ganesh K Babu writes a solid storyline with this and the film is impressive despite the conventional treatment of the screenplay. Most of the emotional beats land well, and if only for a bit more novelty in how the story progresses, DaDa might have become more than what it settled to be. It nevertheless is an effort that is definitely worth a watch.
