REVIEW

 Directed by National award winning filmmaker Seenu Ramasamy, like his previous films he has touched the same rural based subject. Good story and a neat screenplay.         

Vijay Sethupathi once again proved that he is a fine talent. Tamannaah has a bold role and she did well with her acting. Aishwarya Rajesh is equally impressive and Raadhika Sarathkumar is brilliant in her character.

Cinematography is superb. The visuals paint a beautiful picture of the rural life. The movie has only one action sequence which is neatly choreographed. Songs and background score composed by Yuvan Shankar Raja is another crust of the movie. Meaningful dialogues written for the movie is another plus point and add some serious solidity during the narration of the movie.          

Overall, Dharma durai is a good family entertainer.
