Nalla Padam is brand new to the list — too early for the numbers on this Tamil film to mean much yet. It clocks in at a standard 110 minutes. It's in theatres in India now — best caught on the big screen.
Should you spend 1h 50m on it?
1h 50m of Tamil comedy with drama threaded through, not one for younger kids. Standard length — a normal evening's watch, nothing to plan around.
