My Lord X Review
Audiences said that the subject of the film is serious and thought-provoking. One user wrote, "#MyLord Review : Engaging Human Drama!My Rating : 3.25/5First and foremost it is not a courtroom drama. A simple and emotional human story about dignity & empathy in typical #RajuMurugan style with hard-hitting dialogues.Highlight is an outstanding and sincere award winning performance by #Sasikumar, who anchors the film.It is set against the backdrop of illegal kidney racket in rural TN, where debt-ridden people are lured by brokers to sell their kidney to repay loans.#ChaitraAchar is impressive along with Guru Somasundaram and Asha Sarath. #SeanRoldan's music is a major plus along with Nirav Shah's camera.On the downside some of the characters look like caricatures and towards the climax film turns a bit preachy. Still Raju Murugan's best since "Joker" and Sasikumar shines!"
While some have liked its social backdrop and courtroom drama, some viewers feel that the pace of the film slows down at some places.
