The film was telecasted on Doordarshan as a children's day special on 14 November 2016.

This is an experimental feature film that was shot inside the theatre.

[3] Unakkul Naan plays out through the mind of a young boy who, while watching a film at the theater where his father works as a projectionist, is sent back to school by his father.

The boy then embarks on a fantastical journey wherein he experiences the joy of childhood while also coming to understand the reality of human life and its elements.

A critic from The Times of India Samayam rated the film two out of five.
