Helloturia I have absolutely never seen anything like this movie before. You have to see this movie.

Orla Zuniga It is interesting even when nothing much happens, which is for most of its 3-hour running time. Read full review

Lidia Draper Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

Christopher Annino A very moving film.Very well thought out and was shot very well. They dynamic between both characters were very dynamic. It was a very deep and meaningful film. It had a fine blend of comedic timing while with a good balance of dramatic expression. It has a very surreal and expressionistic approach. A great reflection how sometimes relationships do not work out and in some ways time will heal it has a very philosophical approach that many including myself can relate to in regards to loss. A lot of visual metaphorical meaning through out the film. The story shows how a simple gesture might be hard to express in a relationship. Vijay Sethupathi character has impeccable comedic which transcends throughout the whole cast.

Frances Tripp I would like to add my comments on the reviews. I LIKED ORANGE MITTAi. Father and son challenges are very in depth. I thought Vijay and Ramish interesting and complex characters.I found the story emotional and touched with laughter. A beautiful film with a tender message not the easy happily ever after ending, but daring to express real life. A film to touch your soul, so bittersweet. This film gives you what it promises in its title Orange Mittai. I would be one of those people recommending watching it.If the message to be a total pain in the ass only Vijay succeeded admirably…kudos to him. But more….to me that was not the message of the film. Vijay's performance portrayed the exact person the film needed to seeing beyond the obvious of realizing he had a heart and adding Ramesh…he missed the mark with his own father and it caused him to pause and change and open his heart to love. This is a win-win situation for both. The film gives us this without sticky and obvious emotions. The film gently works its magic. The director Biju Viswanath presents an emotional challenge with care and humor. Intense balance was given to keep the visual in line with the story. Well done, Everyone. Yes, I liked it.

betsyburke What the Indian press is saying about "Orange Mittai""Orange Mittai is a beautiful film …Like the candy it is named after, Orange Mittai with its sweet and sour moments, is a beautifully narrated film with just the right balance of humour and emotions." Rediff Movies "Orange Mittai is that one rare movie which comes in Kollywood with a good message." The Wire."Orange Mittai is a simple feel good movie without much fuss and hype silently will enter into your hearts…" India Glitz"Orange Mittai is a colourful entertainer that engages you." Kolly 360"…the film is a quiet ode to the bittersweet life." The Hindu"Vijay Sethupathi proves his mettle once again in an unconventional role with his power packed performance." Deccan ChronicleTamil cinema star Vijay Sethupathi and director Biju Viswanath teamed up to write Orange Mittai for the inaugural project of the actor's newly-formed Vijay Sethupathi Productions, in collaboration with producer B. Ganesh. Sethupathi himself takes and conquers the challenging central role of a middle-aged ailing eccentric, Kailasam, who has been alienated from his son. The story converges around Kailasam and the young paramedic, Satya, who comes to his aid and finds that things are not quite as they appear to be. Satya, sensitively played by Ramesh Thilak, is feeling the recent loss of his father, and the ambulance ride with Kailasam is the premise for a type of father-son confrontation. The subtly-tuned drama is tempered by comedic moments provided by Arumugam Bala as the Sancho Panza-like ambulance driver. It should also be pointed out that this film goes off the beaten track in its lack of classic song-and-dance treatment, a fact which could be regarded by some as a courageous choice for Tollywood. The soundtrack is appropriate and compelling without being overwhelming, and includes several outstanding songs that do not detract from the verité tone of the story. Viswanath's cinematography is a visual treat. It takes up the lyric style of his earlier films and runs with it, offering a sense of immediacy, an inner stillness that savors "the now" and values it as something precious, beautifully supporting the concept that "journey is destination." – Kudos.

Bhanu Prakash Actor Vijay Sethupathi has never been afraid to experiment with unconventional roles and offbeat films. In "Orange Mittai" Vijay Sethupathi plays Kailasam, an arrogant, short-tempered 55-year-old, whose only source of entertainment in his boring life is his frequent trips to the hospital.Its bitter sweet story of a son looking for a father figure and a father looking for a son to love. Orange Mittai is directed by acclaimed director Biju Viswanath, whose works include award-winning films like Déjàvu and Marathon. The film appears more like a real-life incident. The most important aspect of this film is that,even though its speaks about estranged father son relationships ,the movie doesn't stoop of melodrama and usual emotional gimmicks in regular Tamil cinema. The film ends on the note that"journey is destination" which sums up the felling that you get while watching the movie. Feel good movie, definitely watchable.
