While I enjoyed Maanaadu overall, I felt the second half dragged a bit compared to the tight first half. Still, great to see Tamil cinema expanding its reach internationally. Wishing the team all the best!

YSR's BGM was the soul of this film! Hope the Japanese audience appreciates our music as much as we do. Already imagining them humming 'Maanaadu Maanaadu' 😄

This is huge! Japan has such refined taste in cinema. If they embrace Maanaadu, it could open doors for more Tamil films there. Venkat Prabhu's direction was truly world-class in this one.

Watched it 3 times in theaters and still not bored! STR's career best performance. That scene where he realizes he's in a loop gives me chills every time. Japan is in for a treat!

Interesting choice for Japan release. Hope they provide good subtitles - the dialogues are crucial to understanding the time loop mechanics. SJ Suryah was phenomenal as the antagonist!
