Mamitha Baiju has opened up about the audience response to her performance in Vishwanath And Sons, saying the reaction from children in theatres made the film’s success especially meaningful to her.
The actress recently attended the film’s thanksgiving event in Chennai, where she spoke about the response the Suriya-starrer has received since its theatrical release. Among the many reactions, it was the sight of children enjoying her character and celebrating her scenes that left the biggest impression on her.
Mamitha Baiju recalls children celebrating in theatres
Speaking about the film’s reception, Mamitha encouraged audiences who had not yet watched Vishwanath And Sons to experience it in theatres.
“If you still haven’t watched ‘Vishwanath And Sons’, please go and watch it in theatres. Because when you come out of the theatre, you will feel a sense of satisfaction,” she said, as reported by Filmibeat.
The actress then recalled seeing videos shared online following the film’s release. According to Mamitha, some of the videos showed young children laughing during her comedy scenes and enjoying the Pattampoochi song.
What touched her most was seeing some children get up from their seats and celebrate during the screening.
“I saw two or three videos where little children were laughing and enjoying themselves during the Pattampoochi song and my comedy scenes. Some of them even got up from their theatre seats and celebrated,” Mamitha said.
The reactions reminded Mamitha of her childhood
For Mamitha, the children’s enthusiasm was more than simply an indication that audiences were enjoying the movie.
She said watching their reactions took her back to her own childhood, when she would visit theatres and become excited about films and characters she loved.
The actress recalled that the experience transported her roughly 10 to 15 years into the past, allowing her to see the same kind of excitement from a different perspective.
“Seeing children celebrate my film like that made me very happy. I cannot describe that feeling in words,” she said.
The moment appears to have given Mamitha a particularly personal connection to the film’s reception. While box-office numbers and reviews can indicate a film’s commercial or critical performance, an actor’s character connecting with audiences can offer a different kind of satisfaction.

During her interaction at the thanksgiving event, Mamitha also expressed her appreciation for viewers who have supported Vishwanath And Sons.
Her appeal for audiences to watch the film in theatres comes as the team celebrates its theatrical response.
The actress’s comments also highlight the importance of family audiences to the film, particularly given the response she has observed among younger viewers.
About Vishwanath And Sons
Directed by Venky Atluri, Vishwanath And Sons stars Suriya in the lead role, with Mamitha Baiju as the female lead.
The cast also includes Radhika Sarathkumar and Raveena Tandon.
The film combines family emotions and humour, with performances and its accessible storytelling forming part of the conversation around its theatrical reception.
The team recently organised a thanksgiving event in Chennai to acknowledge the audience support following the film’s release.
For Mamitha, however, some of the most memorable feedback has come not from a formal review but from watching children react spontaneously to her character on the big screen.
A memorable moment for Mamitha Baiju
An actor’s connection with an audience can take many forms, but seeing children respond enthusiastically to a character can be particularly rewarding.
For Mamitha Baiju, those theatre reactions brought back memories of her own childhood while also showing her how a character she helped create could become part of someone else’s movie-going experience.
As Vishwanath And Sons continues its theatrical run, Mamitha’s recollection of children laughing, enjoying the Pattampoochi song and celebrating her scenes has given her a memory she says will remain special.
