Ilayaraja's RR is a soothing feature in the film that fills in only at required spaces to communicate things, giving a realistic feel. Revathy doing the role of a kind of a mentor is neat and the experienced artist does her bit perfectly. A sort of docu drama feel persists in the film. The whole episode of Amala meeting the collector, makes one wonder about its purpose. The significance of education and the bond between mom and daughter are nice aspects, but it could have been given a better treatment. The director's objective undoubtedly is lofty and needs applause, but the execution leaves a lot to be desired. The character of Samuthirakani should have been etched properly as he appears comical, but tries to come across strict with weird jumpy feet movements on and off. The language spoken by the duo is inconsistent in tone, sometimes refined and on some other occasions, raw. Yuvasri who is essaying the role of Amala's daughter Abinaya in the film delivers well, but looks to be from a middle income group rather than the one she portrays in the film. It is also tough to believe her as the mother of a 15 year old. She looks too suave to pass off as a poor woman doing odd jobs for sustenance. To start with, Amala Paul, although delivering a nuanced portrayal, does not appear convincing enough completely. However, the Tamil version has a few issues of its own, which render this film a little less impactful than its Hindi counterpart. The Hindi version of the film Nil Battey Sannata which was out a few weeks ago had garnered good feedback. Therefore, in Amma Kanakku produced by Dhanush for his Wunderbar Films, we get to see how Shanthi goes about realizing her dream. Dreams could be varied but for widow Shanthi (Amala Paul) belonging to the lower economic strata of society, her teenage daughter is her dream. In some ways, this thought forms the crux of Ashwiny Iyer Tiwari's debut directorial Amma Kanakku. Late Abdul Kalam stressed on the importance of thinking big and urged people to dream grand.
