Kadhalil Vizhunthaen

My review : Kadhalil Vizhunthaen

The super duper number "Naka muka " will act positively as well as negatively regarding the movie's prospects .On the positive side it has ensured a very grand opening which only a few big stars in Tamil Cinema can vouch for but ironically the same song brings in people in a mindset to enjoy & celebrate leaving them unprepared for such a heavy subject like this .

The top draw of the movie , other than the songs which are now a rage , are the acting of Nakul as well as others .

Plot: A routine love story of a poor boy falling in love with a rich girl .......but with a surprising twist in the tale .

Nakul : The movie belongs to this man who has put in his heart & soul in a very difficult character that he plays & he comes out with flying colours . He has lost a lot of puppy fat & improved his Tamil diction very well . He dances like a dream .

Kudos for him to do such a challenging character at an early phase of his career . Scenes in the hospitals as well as the climax deserves special mention .

Sunaina : looks non-glamorous but has performed well though she has practically no role to play in the second half.

Others in the cast like Sampath , Livingstone & Hariraj have supported the movie very well .

Vijay Milton's cinematography is mixed bag in this movie .Some scenes are excellently shot while some others which follow them are stictly ok .

Vijay Anthony stikes gold with this movie . All songs are already chartbusters . Apart from "Naka muka ", others like "Unakena naan " & "Thozhiya en kadhaliya" are also mesmerising . He has done a good job in BGM as well .

Debutant director P.V.Prasad must be first congratulated for taking such a heavy subject first up . His touches are seen all over the second half .Infact the second half seem to be on totally different plane when compared to the ordinary first half . One thought that he must have portrayed first half love story more convincingly & strongly .Than it would have brought a even stronger impact in the second half.

Also he has made use of the story of a gorilla & it's kid very cleverly

On the whole the first half is superficial & half-backed while the second half is a stunner .

Bottomline : Go to enjoy Naka Muka but be prepared for unexpected shocks .

3.5/5
