Story-:
A solid thriller… Through it, social justice ideas flow like bullets fitted with silencers without any hesitation.
Four stories: a cleaning lady who struggles to get her transgender daughter to study medicine, a young woman who faces problems after being married off to a good family, a young man who struggles to get money to get his beloved wife an operation, and an old man who opposes his daughter’s caste denial…

Movie Review -:
There have been many hyperlink stories that interestingly connect different stories in one place. But the way the four stories are connected creates a shock like a gun going off. It is definitely an unexpected twist for the audience.
Abhirami has played the role of a cleaning worker and a single parent who makes her transgender daughter study medicine. Her confident speech and her natural acceptance of her child being transgender and supporting her… are amazing.
lKeecha, who plays her transgender daughter Karthi, has also given an excellent performance. She makes us feel disturbed in the scene where she cries thinking about being raped.
Bharath is a young man who wanders around looking for money for his wife’s surgery. He actually looks like an auto driver.. an ex-criminal. The scene where she cries after knowing who she killed makes us feel sorry for her.
Kanika, who plays the role of a female warrior, is impressive in some scenes.
As a father who gets angry when his daughter marries a boy from another caste, Thalaivasal Vijay! His acting is natural as usual. That too, in the scene where he throws his anger at the person traveling with him in the car, thinking that he is his daughter’s lover!
Anjali Nair plays a wonderful role as a woman who comes home with a thousand dreams and faces shocking events there.
Rajaji, who plays Abhirami’s friend, Shaan, who plays the lover, Kalki, who plays the mercenary, Pavithra Lakshmi, who plays Thalaivasal Vijay’s daughter, P.G.S., who plays the moneylender villain, and Arol D. Shankar, who plays Anjali’s father-in-law, all play their roles with great understanding.
All three songs composed by Jose Franklin are enjoyable. The background music is also a strength of the film.
Jagan Kaviraj has written the songs ‘Bo.. Bo.. Sekuvara..’ and ‘Deshamilla Raja Naan..’ and the dialogues of the film, which have attracted attention.
He turns into a poet during the songs and into his respective characters in the dialogues, making it enjoyable.
“From the time the Samiya Shuddhi comes, to the time you decide what to eat, what is the name for it… dictatorship!”
“If you make a mistake, you feel like hitting the right…. Now the left feels like ‘right’”
“I read without pride.. honor!”
“Need determines virtue…” – like this, the dialogues that make you say ‘Ada’ but do not violate the character are special throughout the film.
The cinematography by the duo K.S. Kalidas & Kanna R are excellent. V.K. Natarajan’s art direction has also helped with the cinematography.
Sugan’s fighting skills and Sham’s dancing are both strengths of the film. Debutant director Prasad Murugan has touched on many issues like transgenders, homosexuals, manslaughter, unfair interest, Gauri Lankesh’s murder, caste issues, patriarchy… without making them sound like lessons. (He has also written the appropriate song, ‘Soot Pannu…’, which appears in the climax scene.)
In addition, he has made the character’s character stand out in a few scenes, and despite having four stories, he has an uncomplicated screenplay.
In addition, he has included many necessary incidents in the film, such as the incident where Dilshan, a boy, was shot dead by an army officer Ramaraj while picking almonds in the Chennai army barracks, the murder of writer Gauri Lankesh, who was killed by Hindutva activists in Bangalore, and the act of elevating caste as ‘Tamilkudi’.
Once Upon a Time in Chennai is a wonderful calling card for debutant director Prasad Murugan.
M.P. Anand, who is making his debut as a producer, has chosen a quality story and director. Kudos to him too!
This Is My Personal Review So Please Go and Watch The Movie In Theaters Only.
