Directed by Raja Karuppasamy, the story stays rooted in the wedding setting and the messy consequences of the night's revelations.

Our verdict
Modha Rathri uses a single wedding night to spin a tale of strangers, surprises and lies, with Rishikanth and Anishma Anilkumar at the centre. Raja Karuppasamy keeps the tone in comedy-drama territory, and the 141-minute runtime lets the chaos build. It is a decent pick if you like family-oriented Tamil films with a twisty wedding setup.
