CHENNAI BOX OFFICE

Bala’s story of enslaved workers in tea plantations in colonial India has tugged at people’s hearts. Atharvaa, Vedhika and Dhanshika earnestly play the roles of their lives and make the movie memorable for the viewer for varied reasons.

The collection flow is slowly reduced to a trickle and the movie’s shows are reduced owing to other new releases. Nevertheless, average collections have been reported from release centers.

Bala’s roles are a ticket to bigger things for actors and hopefully, Atharvaa’s career will get a push as well.
