One of the show's standout qualities is its exceptional character development. Each character is uniquely crafted, and the chemistry among the ensemble cast is palpable. Leslie Knope's unwavering enthusiasm, Ron Swanson's deadpan humor, April Ludgate's sarcasm, and Andy Dwyer's lovable goofiness create a blend of personalities that consistently entertain and endear viewers.

The writing is sharp, clever, and often politically relevant. "Parks and Recreation" adeptly mixes witty humor with heartwarming moments. The show's ability to address real-life issues within the framework of a comedy series is commendable. The humor ranges from clever wordplay to absurd situations, all delivered with impeccable timing by the talented cast.

As the series progresses, the characters undergo substantial growth and development. Their personal and professional journeys, relationships, and ambitions are portrayed with depth and authenticity, making them incredibly relatable and allowing the audience to emotionally invest in their lives.

Beyond the laughs, "Parks and Recreation" subtly tackles social and political issues, celebrating the power of community and the importance of civic engagement. The show's heart lies in its portrayal of the characters' unwavering dedication to their town and the genuine friendships formed amidst the chaos of local governance.

With its memorable catchphrases, iconic characters, and enduring positivity, "Parks and Recreation" has left a lasting impact on popular culture. Its optimistic outlook, coupled with its ability to blend humor with meaningful storytelling, ensures its place among the most beloved sitcoms of all time ( except for the last few episodes of the last season)

Instead of captivating the audience, Kaathal feels more like an unending lecture about LGBTQ rights than an entertaining cinematic experience. The narrative seems overly preoccupied with delivering a message or moral lesson, sacrificing the essential elements that make a film engaging and enjoyable. This lack of entertainment value contributes to a sense of detachment, leaving viewers disinterested and detached from the story unfolding on screen.

The pacing of Kaathal is notably sluggish, to say the least. The story unfolds at a laboriously slow pace, which might test the patience of even the most patient viewer. Unfortunately, this languid tempo doesn't complement the narrative; instead, it detracts from the film's overall impact. The atmosphere feels inert, lacking the energy and dynamism needed to engage the audience effectively.

The camera work often feels forced and contrived, failing to create a compelling visual narrative. There's a sense of constraint, as if the camera movements are constrained rather than flowing naturally with the story. This forced approach impedes the immersion that cinematography should ideally bring to a film.

With the exception of Mammootty, whose performance shines amidst the mediocrity, the rest of the cast appears stifled and constrained. The actors seem restricted in their roles, almost as if they're held back or intimidated by the director's vision. Their performances lack depth and authenticity, making it challenging to connect with the characters on an emotional level. I am giving two stars only because of the veteran actors performance. Watch at your own risk. Kaathal is a sleeping pill which nobody dares criticize because its politically incorrect to speak against it.
