Middle Class Tamil Movie Review:

 

Debut director Kishore M. Ramalingam brings a grounded family drama with Middle Class, supported by producers Dev and K.V. Durai. The film follows the everyday struggles of Karl Marx, played by Munishkanth, who works in a private company and lives in Chennai with his wife Anbarasi, portrayed convincingly by Vijayalakshmi Ahathian, along with their two children. The setup immediately captures the routine pressures faced by many middle-class families today.

Karl Marx’s biggest dream is to buy farmland in his native village and eventually settle down there. But his limited salary, rising household costs, and responsibilities toward his children’s education keep pushing that dream further away. The story takes a turn when news linked to his late father Sivapunnyam, played by Vela Ramamoorthy, opens the door to what seems like a life-changing opportunity. What initially appears to be a blessing slowly reveals the complications behind it.

The performances strengthen the emotional core of the film. Munishkanth delivers a warm and natural act that perfectly suits a simple man fighting real-life challenges. Vijayalakshmi adds depth as a supportive yet practical wife. Supporting actors like Kaali Venkat, Malavika Avinash, and Radha Ravi fit well into their roles and help maintain an engaging flow. The ensemble keeps the film relatable without slipping into unnecessary melodrama.

Technically, Middle Class stays honest to its theme. Kishore M. Ramalingam’s direction keeps the narrative straightforward, focusing on characters rather than style. The writing remains simple, highlighting the everyday worries of hardworking families. While the film does not rely on big twists, it effectively shows how one "jackpot" event can bring both hope and unexpected problems. In the end, Middle Class stands as a gentle, realistic drama that many viewers will connect with.
