Kadamban Review | Sivalinga Review

Power Paandi Story: Rajkiran plays Paandian Pazhanisami, a stunt master, and Prasanna will be seen as his son named Raghavan, a software engineer. Chaya Singh plays his wife in the flick that is all about how we treat our parents.

From outside, Paandi has everthing in his life. A place to stay, a well-settled son and grandchildren to play. On a closer look, it is realised that there is a kind of emptiness in his life as his Raghavan does not respect him well.  For an instance, his son shares his anguish when Paandi watches TV with high volume.

After many such incidents, Paandi decides to leave his house and goes on a soul-searching trip with his gang of friends. On his way, he meets his ex-flame Poonthendral (Revathy). What follows next should be seen on-screen. Power Paandi is about the outcome of embracing love, peace and positivity around us. The films attempts to showcase how the changing times impact a father-son relationship and tries to tell that they both can co-exist in love.

Power Paandi Review: Dhanush has a winner in hand. In his first attempt as a director, he conveys a fantastic message with the film. The handful of emotional scenes bring smile on your face. Rajkiran has carried his role with ease and dignity. Revathi, in her small role, takes away all the limelight. Dialogues and Sean Roldan's songs are other highlights of the film. On the flip side, Dhanush and Madonna Sebastian's portion, although good, gives an impression of being an altogether a different flick.
