Would have been a great 70s release
It's honestly sad how much Arjun has turned into a bit of a joke lately. I was already baffled when a star like him agreed to appear in last year's Aghathiyaa, which was easily the worst Tamil film of 2025. But now, watching Seetha Payanam, directed by Arjun himself, we finally get a glimpse of what he considers a "good" movie these days.
And the embarrassment doesn't stop there. The songs are grating, the green screen compositions are distractingly bad, and some of the 3D-rendered shots look outright unfinished. The overuse of AI for establishing shots is painfully obvious - one car park scene genuinely resembled the infamous "Will Smith eating spaghetti" levels of distortions. For a supposed family film, it offers only surface-level messaging wrapped in exhausting melodrama. Sitting through it feels less like watching a movie and more like enduring a vanity project stretched to feature length.
