The team of Angikaaram held a thanksgiving meet to express their gratitude to audiences, the media and exhibitors for supporting the film since its release. While celebrating the appreciation the film has received, the team also appealed for continued support to strengthen its theatrical run.
Speaking at the event, actor and producer KJR thanked the media for standing by Angikaaram and helping the film reach audiences through positive reviews. He acknowledged that although many have described the film as a success, its box office collections are still moderate and require an additional push from moviegoers.
KJR also made a heartfelt appeal to theatre owners to continue screening the film. Recalling a conversation shared by one of the distributors, he revealed that someone had remarked the story would have been better suited for a bigger star. Rather than being discouraged, he said the comment has motivated him to work harder and establish himself as a successful lead actor. Confident about the film’s quality, KJR expressed his belief that Angikaaram has the potential to earn recognition during the awards season and described the project as the beginning of a new phase in his career.
Director J.P. Thenpathiyan admitted that he was initially uncertain about how audiences would respond to the film after its completion. However, the encouraging reviews from critics and the media have given him renewed confidence. He revealed that the story was originally narrated to KJR with the intention of making it with a leading star, but circumstances eventually led him to direct the project himself.
The filmmaker added that he was given complete creative freedom throughout the production. He credited action choreographer Peter Hein and composer Ghibran for elevating the film, while recalling the long journey and challenges faced before bringing the project to the screen. He concluded by requesting audiences to continue supporting Angikaaram in theatres.
Composer Ghibran praised KJR for consistently backing stories with meaningful social themes, both as a producer and now as an actor. He also appreciated J.P. Thenpathiyan’s writing, noting that every character has been crafted with purpose and emotional depth. Thanking audiences for the positive reception, he appealed for sustained support to help the film succeed commercially.
The positive reviews received by Angikaaram have further strengthened the team’s confidence. Critics have praised the film for blending a socially relevant message with an emotionally engaging narrative, while appreciating its well-paced screenplay and impactful storytelling. KJR’s performance has also earned appreciation, with the supporting cast delivering convincing performances throughout. Ghibran’s music and Peter Hein’s action choreography have been highlighted as major strengths, enhancing the film’s emotional and cinematic appeal. Overall, the film has been appreciated for delivering a meaningful message without compromising on entertainment value.
With encouraging word of mouth continuing to spread, the makers remain hopeful that Angikaaram will draw more audiences to theatres and enjoy a stronger theatrical run in the coming days.
