Idli Kadai

"Idli Kadai works due to the earnestness of the writing and its conviction in making genuine sentimentality work. The film's beauty lies in the small details, little crevices of goodness that emanate from its core despite the heavy handed treatment."

"Idli Kadai wears its heart on its sleeve, embracing nostalgia and roots with both hands. Dhanush is in top form as an actor and director here, mining most of the material. But the film falls into predictable rhythms and plays it safe with its most risky ideas."
