A neatly made heartwarming film!

Lakshmy Ramakrishnan as Salamma scores the best as usual. Subbalakshmi is the one who easily outperforms everyone else. She has lived the character of Ammani. She doesn't cry or shout with anyone, but she emotes so well. She plays the title character and has totally justified it. Nithin Sathya as a greedy son does justice to his role. George takes care of humour at places, which works really well. Other supporting actors too leave an impactful performance. Robo Shankar makes a cameo appearance in a song, but the song portion could have been easily avoided.
Good performances in a weather-beaten plot

Ammani’s plot resembles a lecture in morals, and familial tiffs and the grab-money lines has been the subject of many films. Ramakrishnan’s work, as such, has nothing novel to write home about. But, yes, the performances of the two women are marvellous -- one with her mischievous twinkle in her eye and a never-say-die attitude, and the other weighed down by remorse and regret seeing the utter selfishness in her children. Some catchy lines, but they do not lead to a believable climax.
