Dada Day 1 Box Office Collection: Will Kavin's Film Beat Pradeep Ranganathan's Love Today Collection?

Kavin Starrer Dada is doing great at the box office. Day 1 collection of the film is reported as 1 crores. It is a big achievement for the team. This is huge when compared to the Day 1 collection of Pradeep Ranganathan's recent film Love Today. People started coparing both the films as they have been made in similar budget with minimal star cast. Both the films made it big due to the interesting screenplay. Though Dada is a normal story that deals with the emotions of a father son bonding, the way it has been treated in screenplay is too good and evident throughout the film. Day 2 collection of the film is expected to reach 1.5 crores as the film got good reviews from audience and critics.

Dada is a film starring actor Kavin who has made his mark from the small screen to the silver screen. In this, Kavin is cast as the hero in the role of Manikandan. Aparna Das has played the role of Sindhu opposite him. Here is the full review of Dada, a film based on father-son affection.

Hero Manikandan (Kavin) comes as an irresponsible college student who doesn't listen to his parents, doesn't study well. He falls in love with fellow student Sindhu (Aparna Das). Sindhu unexpectedly becomes pregnant. Sindhu does not listen to Kavin's request to abort the child, so both leave the house and get married.

Mani, even after marriage, is profligate and comes home drunk. During a fight, the hero who goes away saying "you die" switches off the phone when his wife calls in labor pain. As a result, Sindhu, who gave birth to the baby, leaves him at the hospital and goes with her parents.

The entire responsibility of bringing up the child falls on Mani. He has been a prodigal and irresponsible person until then. He tries to be a good father to his child. He spends days trying not to show his child to his wife. He unexpectedly meets her after 4 years. Will Mani forgive his wife? Why did Sindhu leave the child? A beautiful answer to many such questions is the climax of the film Dada.

Just as the father-daughter affection was beautifully and profoundly expressed in Thanga Meengal, the father-son affection is tenderly expressed in this film as well.
As Manikandan, Kavin takes his chances and scores well. He makes the fans' eyes wet especially in the love fight scenes and in the climactic hand to mouth crying scenes.
Aparna Das, who made the audience happy despite her brief appearance in the film, acts like a second pillar for Dada. Although the story revolves only around her and Kavin, it seems that she did not get much 'screen space'. Her disappearance for 20 minutes in the film could be the reason for that.
Bhakyaraj and Aishwarya keep our parents in front of our eyes even if it's only for a short while. Aishwarya stands in mind as a wife who does not cross the line set by her husband, even though she trembles as a mother hearing her son's voice.
VTV Ganesh in the film is a well-wisher who gives advice and sometimes comes as a comedy punch line speaker to make the audience laugh. Child Artist Advik, who plays Kavin's son, is a great find of the year. A thousand kisses can be given only to the Tamil he speaks. Pradeep Antony and Harish Kumar stand out as supporting characters.
All the songs of the film are heart touching. Especially the song 'Thaayaaga Naan' about affection for son makes us melt. Jen Martin did a great job.
Just like making jokes about the difficulties we face in our normal life, in this film too director Ganesh K Babu has impressed the audience by sprinkling laughter in difficult times. His realistic comedy dialogues and the way he carried the story attracts the fans.
Although the story is predictable, it doesn't seem like a big drawback due to the neat screenplay. All in all, if you want to watch a feel good emotional movie on the weekend with your family, go for Dada. You will love it.
