Despite facing a tough clash at the box-office against Shah Rukh Khan’s Pathaan and Marvel’s Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantamania, Dhanush’s Vaathi managed to hold strong at the box-office.

Recently, veteran Tamil actor and filmmaker Bharathiraja praised Dhanush’s Vaathi and called it a must-watch. A report in Indian Express released a press statement, where the actor shared why Vaathi has a special place in his heart.

“In my film career, I’ve seen a lot of milestones. A few things have stunned me. One such film is Vaathi/Sir. I’m watching a lot of films, this is a special one, as I’m part of it. Films should be useful to people, more than entertainment. Vaathi stresses the importance of education,” Bharathiraja was quoted as saying.

 “I am just back from the movie, the way the audience enjoys the film is great. It’s one of the best films in recent times. Sir is a must-watch in theatres,” said Bharathiraja according to the press statement.
