‘Baththa’ movie review: Balaji Tharaneetharan returns with a delightfully funny, moving comedy-drama

The Hindu’s review of Balaji Tharaneetharan’s new film ‘Baththa’ describes it as a comedy‑drama that follows a feared don whose path unexpectedly intersects with a schoolboy. The story uses this encounter to reflect on childhood nostalgia, the identities we abandon to meet societal expectations, and the enduring kindness beneath. The reviewer praises its humor and emotional depth.
