'Japan' Movie Review: What's Good, What's Bad; Find Out From Viewers' Words

After 'Ponniyin Selvan: II', Karthi is back with his latest venture 'Japan', directed by Raju Murugan of 'Cuckoo' and 'Joker' fame.

The movie has Anu Emmanuel playing the female lead. Jithan Ramesh, KS Ravikumar, Sunil, Bava Chelladurai in the supporting roles. The movie has GV Prakash Kumar's music, Philomin Raj's editing and Ravi Varman's cinematography.

#Japan Interval: ரொம்ப சுமார் 🫤
ஜப்பான் மாதிரி ஒட்டாத டார்க் காமெடி படம் எடுக்க இங்க நிறைய டைரக்டர்ஸ் இருக்காங்க.. ஆனா ‘குக்கூ’, ‘ஜிப்ஸி’ போல உணர்வுப்பூர்வமான அழகியல் படங்களைத் தர உங்கள போல வெகுசில மேக்கர்ஸ்தான் தமிழ் சினிமால இருக்கீங்க.
Pls come back to form Dir. Raju Murugan!
