Quota(2020)

6.5/10
Tamil mins

Film relates the situation faced by an ambitious, loyal and happy family in their daily walks of financially uncontrollable lifestyle. Adding much to the movement of the story, the pinching of the boys with acute sense of humour lifts it to a different level. The difference in opportunities, opinions, judgements, reservations between the rich and poor forces the boy to challenge his talent which results in attaining the prejudice with his determination and hard work. The plot moves the experience with a satire, more of pun, fun and frolic of its kind.
