Director Ram’s children’s drama ‘Parandhu Po’ is all set to premiere on Disney+ Hotstar soon. It will be a direct to OTT release and netizens are concerned that it is a grave mistake.
Tamil children’s dramas are now in vogue and after Mari Selvaraj’s ‘Vaazhai’ there is going to be another anticipated title in the genre.

‘Vaazhai’ had its theatrical release last year and it performed pretty well at the box office. People are liking the big screen experience of these films of a different sensibility and ethos.
Parandhu Po is going to compete at the Rotterdam International Film Festival which makes the audiences believe that the content of the film is quite good. It tells the story of an obdurate school kid and his father who go on a trip away from the bustle of the city.

People are not very happy with the fact that they will not get the opportunity to watch such a feel-good and emotional movie in theaters. It will, no doubt, reach its audience on OTT but it could have repeated Vaazhai’s success at the box office.
Parandhu Po could have done good business with a little bit of promotion and this seems to be a huge blunder on the part of the makers.
