'Dagaalty': Five reasons why you should watch Santhanam's comedy-drama this weekend

Vijay Anand's directorial 'Dagaalty' starring Santhanam in the lead role is releasing tomorrow. Makers of 'Dagaalty' avoided clashing the release date with Santhanam's 'Server Sundaram' after the producer agreed to postpone the release for Santhanam’s sake. Now ‘Server Sundaram’ will release along with Samuthirakani and Sasikumar's 'Nadodigal 2'. Meanwhile, 'Dagaalty' is produced by Santhanam's Handmade Films in association with SP Chowdary's 18 Reels. And as fans rush to book their tickets for Santhanam’s ‘Dagaalty’, here are five reasons why you should watch the comedy-drama.

Santhanam is set to blast the screens with 'Dagaalty' after his back to back hits 'Dhilluku Dhuddu 2' and 'A1'. Santhanam began his career as a comedian and did several films where he succeeded in leaving his fans in splits. And even after becoming a lead star, Santhanam has not left his unique style behind. He still follows his calling for doing comic movies and makes sure to come up with stories that are important to comedy.

Yogi Babu has now become the lead comedian in the Tamil film industry. He has been part of more than 20 films in a year, and his counter-jokes are almost therapeutic, helping people forget about their problems at least for a while. But while, Yogi Babu has done more than 100 films in Tamil, this is the first time that he has collaborated with actor Santhanam. Obviously, when two great comedians come together, magic is bound to happen, right? Plus, going by the promotional videos, the combo seems to be great together already.

The Bengali actress Rittika Sen has been paired opposite Santhanam in 'Dagaalty', and she plays a bold character in the film. The actress has already done some promising roles in Bengali films like 'Borbaad', 'Raja Rani Raji', 'Arshinagar', 'Villain', and 'Jio Pagla'. The impressive actress is all set to make her debut in Tamil with 'Dagaalty', and she is expected to go on to become a top actress in the industry.

The director of the film Vijay Shankar has worked as an assistant to the great director Shankar in the films 'I' and '2.O'. It is expected that he might have brought in some of that great experience to 'Dagaalty' which he learned from director Shankar. Vijay Shankar may also have given both Santhanam and Yogi Babu the space they deserve for an out and out comedy from the duo.

The number of comedy-drama films being released in Tamil cinema is dwindling quickly as makers are more interested in coming up with quirky concepts rather than plain comedy movies. 'Dagaalty' starring Santhanam and Yogi Babu is sure to make people laugh out loud in theaters. So, 'Dagaalty' will be definitely the best choice for those who are looking for a movie to watch in the theater with their families without the worry of it being inappropriate.
