ETimes review
ETimes reviewed the movie and commented on its blend of drama and comedy. The review also praised the performances, period setting and music.“The tonal swings between drama and comedy can feel somewhat dissonant, but Baththa remains consistently fresh and moving throughout. Vijay Sethupathi is wonderful as the gangster who comes to recognise the error of his ways and gradually rediscovers the innocence within him, with a supporting cast that matches him well.The mid-’80s setting is lovingly recreated and shot with real texture. Sai Abhyankkar’s thematic song, Chellame Magale, serves as the film’s emotional core, even if the composer tends to overscore the background music elsewhere. But ultimately, the film belongs to child actor Sai Prithiviraj, who beautifully captures the fears, relief, optimism, and unjudgemental outlook of a third-standard kid.”DISCLAIMER: The box office numbers and the data in this article are compiled from public and industry sources.
