Movie Review: Middle Class

-

 A middle class couple ( Munishkanth & Vijaylakshmi) with 2 kids, are trying their best to make  ends meet.


The wife is discontented with her husband's inability to make it big in life.  Though both are hardworking, success still eludes them. 

Until one day,  dame luck strikes and the couple are left with a cheque for a huge amount, which could change their lives altogether.




But just when things are going so well,  something happens which puts a break into their path to making it big in life. 

What is the problem? How do the couple overcome the odds piling up against them?

The film is  delightful and warm tale of middle class life,  told in the most entertaining way.

 The pillars are the lead pair who share a fantastic chemistry on screen, delivering realistic and  natural performances, that keep you emotionally connected to their lives and problems. Vijaylakshmi outstanding act is a delight to watch and one hopes she does more films.  Munishkanth too, is in his element, and superbly plays his role as the loving father and husband, the innocent man unblemished by greed for money,  but who also realises a deeper sense of responsibility  and purpose in life, as does his wife,  in her own way. 

The film  tugs  at the heartstrings, makes you laugh, smile and sit on edge when things go wrong and finally give you hope and a positive message. 


Middle Class is a film families will relate to, and enjoy watching together in theatres.

A heartening gem, slice of life story with human emotions, values and a much needed message to society. 

Rating 3.75 /5

 A young cop Kathiravan( Vikram Prabhu ) is assigned the duty to oversee the escorting of an young undertrial Abdul Rauf ( LK Akshay Kumar) along with two other constables, from Vellore jail to Sivagangai, for a court hearing. During the long bus journey, Kathiravan gets to hear the backstory of Abdul, who has been an undertrial for 5 years, with no lawyer nor any family to fight his case, as he is an orphan. The cops discover many more painful truths about the young man which makes Kathiravan empathise with him and want to help him. But things are not easy and the path to find justice for him seems an uphill task. What is his backstory? Does Kathir manage to help him? Does Abdul get justice? The film grips you right from the word go and keeps you hooked till the last shot. And it manages to do so  due to a variety of reasons. High on drama, suspense, raw emotions, sentiment and romance, the film also has a beautiful message,  about the power of empathy and how people wi...
