The movie has been getting unanimous appreciation from all corners ever since its release on October 4. Both critics and commoners have rated it as one of the finest romantic flicks that have come out of Tamil cinema in recent years.
Directed by cinematographer-turned-filmmaker Prem Kumar, 96 is a poignant tale of how two childhood sweethearts meet after two decades for a school reunion. Last day, the makers released a deleted video from the movie through social medias. It is a beautiful scene involving lead characters Ram and Jaanu happening to meet legendary playback singer S Janaki.
Besides Tamil Nadu, the movie emerged hugely successful in Kerala as well. It is one of the most profitable movies in the state this year. The Kerala rights of for 96 was acquired for Rs 50 lakhs and the movie earned double the amount from its theatrical run. It is by far the biggest hit of Vijay Sethupathi in the state. Previously, his ‘Vikram Vedha’, which also had Madhavan in the lead, had performed well here.
