Pagiri

Pagiri is a 2016 Indian Tamil-language romantic comedy film directed by Esakki Karvannan and starring newcomer Prabhu Ranaveeran and Shravya.

Production
The film is about the effects of WhatsApp and the predicaments of farmers.

Soundtrack
The songs are composed by Karunas. The audio was released by director Vasanthabalan.

Release and reception
The film, along with Sadhuram 2, was only released at 6pm at Chennai on 16 September due to the Kaveri River water dispute.

The Times of India gave the film a rating of two out of five stars and stated that "The film feels like a missed opportunity, especially at a time when farmers are fighting for water". Deccan Chronicle gave the film the same rating and wrote that " In the end, Pagiri is a very novel twist to the 'common man woes' idea, but shallow comedy undermines the impact it could have had". A critic from The New Indian Express wrote that "The plot had the potential to turn into an interesting satire and the director has made an attempt to move away from a formulaic-setting too. But the lack of fizz and punch in the script has turned it into a mediocre fare".
