Two young brothers, living in a Chennai slum area are attracted by the TV advertisement of a pizza outlet. The story is about how the two boys save up enough money to savour the taste of their dream cuisine, despite their destitute existence. The two boys usually eat crows' eggs as a snack, thus naming each other 'Periya Kaaka Muttai' and 'Chinna Kaaka Muttai' respectively. Their roles are played by child actors Ramesh and Vignesh, who would later go on to win the National Film Award for Best Child Actor in 2015. Aishwarya Rajesh excels as the boys' mother who saves every little penny she can, to bail her husband out of jail. Shanti Mani as the boys' grandma is endearing. Ramesh Thilak and Yogi Babu get themselves into a sticky situation related to the boys' quest for pizza and give us something to laugh about. The film won the National Award for Best Film in 2015,and is worth watching for those who enjoy children's movies.
