What the audience says
Baththa is brand new to the list — too early for the numbers on this Tamil film to mean much yet. At 159 minutes, it asks for a real chunk of your night. It's in theatres in India now — best caught on the big screen.
Should you spend 2h 39m on it?
2h 39m of Tamil drama with comedy threaded through, not one for younger kids. Long enough that it wants your full attention rather than a second screen.
