Kannum Kannum

My review: Kannum Kannum : A gentle breeze

Story: How a lover ends up as a brother by the villany of FATE !!

G.Marimuthu has taken a story which is fresh , untold and filled with unexpected twists and turns . First half is very good , moves very fast and ends up with a jolt in the proceedings while second half is slow , melodramatic and tests one's patience towards the end.(inc. a pathos song to rub salt in the wounds) . But one must appreciate the director for the novel theme he has chosen. It is very hard to predict which way the screenplay is going to turn much like how the real life is in the hands of fate. Kudos to him for giving for giving a clean family entertainer .

Prasanna as usual rocks back to his familiar territory .Udhayathara tries to be bubbly in the first half and ends up with too much of melodrama in the second half.

Vadivel succeeds in tickling the funny bones in couple of sequences as does Shanthanam. A strong point of the movie is that everyone of the actors have done a neat and matured job.

Dhina's music is a downer . Balasubramanyem's camera beautifully captures the mood and landscapes of the actors and Kuttalam. Editor seems to have slept during the second half.

Kannum kannum is a neat movie which is like a whiff of fresh air - creatively conceived and naturally portrayed.

Will it be a hattrick for Prasanna in the box-office ?????????

My verdict : 3.5/5
