Saw Director Ram's #ParanthuPo movie on @JioHotstar . This road trip drama was engaging in some parts. I loved the social message the Ram meant to convey. Good performance from @actorshiva , Grace Antony & the child artist Mithul Rayan who was very impressive. Worth a watch.

Paranthu Po is a beautiful movie. One of a kind. 3BHK is a terrible bore. Serial mode.
