Watch for: M.S. Bhaskar’s hilarious turn as a grumpy deity. Skip if: You expect polished production or deep philosophical drama. Would you like a spoiler-free comparison to similar Tamil indie films like Aandavan Kattalai or Oththa Seruppu ?
Here’s a review of the movie Arai En 305-il Kadavul (transl. God in Room 305 ), a 2019 Tamil comedy-drama directed by Chidambaram Manivannan. What it’s about: The film revolves around a struggling young man, played by Santhosh Prathap , who rents a dingy room (No. 305) in a shabby lodge in Chennai. His life takes a bizarre turn when he starts seeing a mysterious, cynical man (played by M.S. Bhaskar ) who claims to be God. The rest of the film explores their conversations, the man’s attempts to prove his divinity, and how it changes the lives of other lodge residents.
