But the problem with the film is its questionable casting. Nevertheless, the film can be watched once for it novel concept.

As the director quotes – Nobody sees the struggles of a filmmaker, all that people see is the filmmaker’s output and where he stands today. In that case, the director’s debut film is a one he can be proud of, not because of the struggle he’s gone through to make this film, but, because, the way he’s delivered the film is modest, fun and thought-provoking.

Kallapadam is a film where everything is enjoyable except for the misfit casting of protagonists and dreary dialogues.

Kallappadam is refreshing amidst its slow paced screenplay and some logical loopholes. It is definitely an honest attempt and is also praiseworthy.
