The critically acclaimed 'Kadaisi Vivasayi' directed by Manikandan and starring the late Nallandi in the title role was not a box office earner when released in Tamil Nadu on February 11th this year. However the film has got recognition where it matters most placed second best in the world.

The famous Letterboxd website that rates films worldwide has released its half yearly report for the year 2022. 'Everything Everywhere All at Once' the American absurdist comedy-drama film written and directed by Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert and starring Michelle Yeoh has been rated number one.

'Kadaisi Vivasayi' has grabbed the second spot with the site lauding it as " It is a gentle, agrarian drama about our relationship with land, starring a real-life octogenarian farmer in his first and last role (rest in peace, Nallandi). It’s probably impossible to make a live-action Hayao Miyazaki movie but Kadaisi Vivasayi exists to prove us all wrong,”.

'Kadaisi Vivasayi' was produced by Vijay Sethupathi who also acted in a small part as a mystic nomad while Yogi Babu also made a guest appearance. The other Vijay Sethupathi starrer 'Vikram' directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj and starring Kamal Haasan has been rated as the 11th best film worldwide.

S.S. Rajamouli's 'RRR' starring Ram Charan and Jr. NTR is at the 6th place and Kunchacko Boban's hostage drama 'Pada' (Malayalam) is the other Indian movie in the list.
