Analysis:

When there are no questions in life, there would be no learning and existense. This is a threat for everyone. The major difference between humans and machines is about thinking power. Kids tend to question and it is their innocent behaviour that drives to do it. It is the responsibility of the teachers and the parents to educate their children to inject confidence in them when they are low. There are lot of logical equations and dialogues that connects well and reveals the boding between a mother and her son. The logics and the depth in mathematics are explained well in the film. The theory has an algorithm for any problem in mathematics.

The film is opened in the style of K Vishwanath. A Brahmin family along with their traditions and behaviour are well narrated. The film also narrates about the life of a middle class family. Soon, the story is narrated in the point of children’s view. Any Mathematics teacher is a villain for a poor student. Though his brutal, it has realistic approach. The emotional dialogues by Priyadarshi narrated his character in the film. 35: Chinna Katha Kaadu has the mark of the director in every scene. The narration is natural and the film narrates the emotions of a mother, her child and from the aspect of a teacher. The mother emotion is written in a stronger manner. The episodes between Priyadarshi and Nivetha Thomas are narrated on a solid note. The emotional episodes are well narrated. The director also connected all the dots that started the story and he ended them well.

But, 35: Chinna Katha Kaadu gives everyone a pleasant and emotional feel. The film raises several questions about the lives of the middle class families.
