Cast

Production

Kulir 100 is the first Tamil film directed by Anita Udeep. According to her, the title "indicates it's both cold and hot which means that opposites attract, the basic framework of the film." The film was made on a budget of 30 million (US$380,000). Shooting for the film took place in Switzerland, Kulu, Manali, Yercaud and Ooty.[3]

Reception

Behindwoods said, "The title could be reminiscent of all things pleasant in this inexorably hot weather, but watching debutant director Anita Udeep's Kulir doesn't have the same effect. Anita, after probably having set out to deliver a message-movie, has lagged behind soon enough and ended up doing just the opposite" and concluded "Experience the cold!", while rating the film 0.5 out of 5 stars.[4] Sify said, "The film lacks the magic one associate with boarding school brat pack movie. Let us hope Anita Udeep, learns from her mistakes and finds a better script in her next outing."[2] Pavithra Srinivasan of Rediff said, "Kulir 100 Degrees tries very hard to simulate the lives of youngsters, but it seems to flit to the next scene before any scenario can be fully explored, leaving you with a sense of dissatisfaction. In the end, the result is rather half-baked. The cool visuals and neat songs are the only compensation." and rated the film 2 out of 5 stars.[1]
