Pagiri is a 2016 Indian Tamil-language romantic comedy film directed by Esakki Karvannan and starring newcomer Prabhu Ranaveeran and Shravya.
The film is about the effects of WhatsApp and the predicaments of farmers.[1]
The songs are composed by Karunas.[2] The audio was released by director Vasanthabalan.[1]
The film, along with Sadhuram 2, was only released at 6pm at Chennai on 16 September due to the Kaveri River water dispute.[3]
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".[4] 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".[5] 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".[6]
