Audience Love for the Story of Idli Kadai
The movie’s success is mainly due to the positive word-of-mouth from the audience. The story is about a young man, played by Dhanush, who is a famous chef abroad but returns to his village to save his father’s simple “Idli Kadai” (Idli shop). The film touches on emotions, family values, and the simple life of a village.
Dhanush’s work both as the lead actor and director has been praised. Critics have called it a heartfelt film, even if the storyline is somewhat predictable. The performances by the senior actors like Rajkiran and Sathyaraj, along with Nithya Menen and Arun Vijay, have added much strength to the film.
Dhanush Film’s Idli Kadai Facing Big Competition
Despite the positive response, “Idli Kadai” has faced a major challenge from “Kantara: Chapter 1.” That film, also a multi-language release, has done extremely high business across India. “Idli Kadai’s” box office collection has been mainly strong in Tamil Nadu. The competition has limited its growth in other language markets.
The Weekday Test
The strong Monday collection is a huge boost for the film. It shows that people are still going to watch it even after the holiday is over. The coming weekdays will be very important for “Idli Kadai.” If it can maintain this steady performance, the film will surely reach a good final box office number. The film is a welcome success for the family drama genre in South Indian cinema.
