Chithha receives high-praise

Simbu is the latest star to throw his weight behind Chithha from the Tamil film industry. Earlier, legendary actor-director Kamal Haasan shared his review of the movie in a video message, vouching for the movie's ability to connect with the audience. "Chithha is a short form of chittappa, which means 'father's brother," Kamal said. "It's a unique story. I am not going to give any spoilers. It has an interesting premise."

A good movie always wins. And Chithha proves that old adage once again. Even though the movie was released without much fanfare and carried little to no hype, it has managed to capture the attention of movie-goers, thanks to strong word-of-mouth.
