    Well maintained. Security guard was very polite. It is located just opposite Actor Sivakumar's house. Sad part is that, they should do something to clean up the roads and promote this memorial house to attract tourists.

  • 5/5 Senthilkumar N K. 8 months ago on Google
    The house in which MGR lived during his acting period. Later he moved to Ramapuram Garden behind KK Nagar. All of his gifts and moments are displayed during his both film and political career. All of his films with year of release and many letters written to him by big leaders are there. His used car TMK 4777 is main attraction there.

  • 3/5 Tejas N. 1 year ago on Google
    Definitely a great memorial place for a great person, however everything inside is written in Tamil with minimum translations, so I would suggest reading about MGR sir before visiting the place as there aren't any translated informational sources in there. I visited the place for about 45 mins or so because I couldn't understand the place very well.

  • 5/5 CS S. 1 year ago on Google
    It's a place of successful personality. Very worth to visit this place. You will be filled with positive vibes and full of optimistic charges here.

  • 5/5 Atharva G. 1 year ago on Google
    Well maintained, takes you back to the Tamil Nadu of 60s, 70s and 80s, also tells us quite a lot about the Life of Shri M.G. Ramachandran; didn't knew much about him just randomly went to the museum, what a legen he was is the first thought that came to my mind. Do give a visit.

  • 5/5 Vinod K. 1 year ago on Google
    Extremely good. The inchargers inside the place are much friendly. Would be a special one for the borns between 1930 and 1970 when they try to visit the place. Items inside the rooms are neat. Each and every step will make you remember how Makkal thilagam has dedicated his life to his people and his cinema.

  • 5/5 Khadijah K. 1 year ago on Google
    Well maintained and it's a place full of historic records. The museum curators were good natured and explained the stories behind everything there.

  • 5/5 Shaikh 1 year ago on Google

  • 5/5 Anju J. 1 year ago on Google
    Well maintained place.they have preserved everything in the original way as it was in the early days. Ground floor showcases all the gifts received by him. Also has the ambassador car. Pictures from all his movies are also on display. 1st floor has 1.his personal effects on display. 2.Living room in its original form 3.His office. Despite not being a modern air conditioned museum,the place has a beautiful aura. Very very well maintained. The staff is extremely good. Their love and respect towards him is evident in the way they describe the things on display. Photo can be taken on payment in front of his car. For 40/110/230rs depending on the size of the pic.will be printed and given in 5minutes. Being located in a residential area, people coming in cars can park it on the street in front.

  • 3/5 Balamurali k. 4 years ago on Google
    It houses mainly the gifts and letters received by MGR during his political life and it also has a mummified lion and an old ambassador car of his. It would be a half an hour well spent but the only challenge is parking.

    I have born and brought up in t nagar never visited this place every time i pass through this building after actor Surya house in same street .. This place is old style unique building still maintained neat and clean atmosphere is very calm and when i asked they said it is office of Dr. MGR Thalaivar from entrance to end they have planned well how to see everything and legends signature letter are also seen here .. Things which i liked was Buddha Statue, Lion, His dress in shelf and that office ac meeting room where actor meet everyone in first floor than that ambassador car .. The one which i liked was the Seiko brand watch he use to wear which is kept in the nearest showcase at entrance apart from things were there which he used in his lifetime .. We are blessed to be here i born after 6 months of thalaivar's demise if i born before i would be lucky to see thalaivar this building door number is my and my friends birth date 18/27 and we both visited together on 18/05/2023. This place is part of our memories i request the officers to maintain this place same as it is with great respect for his honour, awards and hardwork so next generation people also see and learn from him .. Wish story about MGR come soon in NCERT history book.

  • 5/5 Vijayakumar C. 11 months ago on Google
    Everyone should visit atleast once to see his achievements in the field of tamil cinema and politics. Every momento here talks about that. We should know about the great political leaders. Vey well maintained. Parking of car is a constraint here, as it is busiest road, but we can manage.
