Honest attempt .. very good first half and decent 2nd half ..little drag here and there but emotional connect remained same..kongara tried to show this as realistic as possible .. Suriya deserves a national award just for that one flashback scene TERRIFIC#SooraraiPottru
3.5/5

#SooraraiPottru isn't a flawless film but what made it so unique is the sincere approach & raddd performances by the lead actors. First half was soo good but the film fiddled in the second half but terrific final 20 mins covered the flaws of second half. A solid 3.5 go for it!!!! pic.twitter.com/wq7gKUtS5i

It's a jaw dropping performance from @Suriya_offl sir, especially that pre interval scene justifies the quality and depth of your acting sir. We believed you and we confirmed our #SooraraiPottru release in March itself. Btw corona has some other plans. Gripping screenplay #Sudha
