Paramapadham Vilayattu (transl. The snakes and ladders game) also shortly Paramapadham is a 2021 Indian Tamil-language political thriller film directed by Thirugnanam. The film stars Trisha in her 60th film, newcomer Vijay Varmaa, Nandaa, and Richard Rishi, while A. L. Azhagappan, Manasvi Kottachi, and Vela Ramamoorthy play supporting roles. The music was composed by Amresh Ganesh with cinematography by J. Dinesh and editing by Pradeep E. Ragav.
The film's release date had been postponed from its original date of February 28, 2020 for unexplained reasons. A year later, the film's theatrical release was cancelled, and it was decided to release the film via Disney+ Hotstar on 14 April 2021, during the occasion of Puthandu. It failed to impress audiences, who largely did not favour its writing and plot.

Critical reception


The film received mostly negative reviews from critics. Times of India wrote, "With a not-so-bad plot, the movie goes on to become a tiresome watch as the story progresses, thanks to unengaging and predictable sequences." India Today wrote, "Director Thirugnanam’s story is so predictable that even a kid who watches the film would guess the so-called twists from a mile away. Any story needs to have high and low points to make the proceedings interesting. Paramapadham Vilayattu has literally nothing to make you go wow." FirstPost wrote, "There is nothing in Paramapadham Vilayattu that we've never seen before. The plot and the politics are excruciatingly stale. The scenes are misplaced versions of real-life incidents. The characters are plastic. Overall, the film is barely watchable."
