Director Thankar Bachan is known for his poignant tales of human relationships on celluloid and he follows the same syntax in Ammavin Kaipesi too which is a cinematic adaptation of his own literary work of the same name.

Thankar is identified for his uncompromising styles of film making and Ammavin Kaipesi is no exception either. AK is about the boundless love of a mom towards her youngest wastrel of a son and his tryst with life to prove a point to the world. The pain that a mom feels on being forced to evict her son out and then suffer his absence are all well etched out by Thankar. And a cell phone plays a significant role in the film justifying the title.

For Thankar, traversing in the intricate emotional by lanes is just a sweep and he does that in AK too. The ironical aspect of what happens to mom and son is very interesting and is a typical Thankar style. The pace is leisurely but at points, brisk especially in the second half. The director’s passion for nativity is well known and praise points are due to the film’s real feel approach in showcasing the customs and practices of rural Tamil Nadu.

Casting is one of the highlights of Ammavin Kaipesi where every artist from the core to the periphery has done their job convincingly.

It is about mother's mobile phone through which she communicates with her 9th Son Shanthnu. This is the only way she communicates with him as Shanthnu was forced to leave the house due to an incident. Does Shanthnu meet his mom again? Does he marry Iniya?
