KANDEN KADHALAI MOVIE REVIEW Review by : Behindwoods review board Starring: Bharath, Tamanna, Santhanam Direction: Kannan Music: Vidyasagar Production: Moserbaer They have met again! The ‘Jab We Met’ remake is in town and love is in the air. Will the magic work? After the critically acclaimed Poo, Moser Baer ventures into commercial cinema successfully with Kanden Kadhalai. With a story that has already proved its worth up north and a universally accepted emotion as its basic theme; the odds are definitely in favor of Kanden Kadhalai. The team behind the remake is relatively young but highly promising. Kannan is trying to follow up his impressive debut (Jeyamkondaan) with a hit, Bharath is returning to the lover boy role after a few commercial trysts and Tamanna gets a gem of an opportunity to prove her worth as an actress who can carry off all kinds of emotions. Put all this together and we get ‘Kanden Kadhalai’, a youthful romantic drama which takes a fresh perspective on love and relationships. Shakthi (Bharath) is down in the dumps! The big business establishment that his father has built is falling apart, the board of directors is going insane with arguments and to top it all there are allegations that his mother is having an affair with the company’s auditor. Not able to take any more of the misery he walks out of the board meeting. The day after he goes missing, everyone wonders where he is gone. In fact, even he has no idea of where he wants to go. He just wants to escape from everything, even from himself. Without a ticket in hand or a destination in mind he boards a train. Aboard he comes across Anjali (Tamanna) who is poles opposite to him in character. She just can’t stop talking, most of which is about herself. As we discover later, the person she loves most in the world is herself. In a weird twist of events, brought about by Shakthi’s pointless sauntering and Anjali’s insuppressible energy, they find themselves together, stranded in the middle of nowhere with no means of transport for the night. They get to know each other over the period that they are together. Travelling across Tamil Nadu to get to Anjali’s home, Shakthi starts feeling lighter and better. He starts learning a lot about taking it easy. Meanwhile Anjali has plans of her own, love is on her mind. But the man is not Shakthi. However she wants Shakthi’s help to reach her lover. She runs away from home and Shakthi goes back to resurrect his business. Everyone believes that they are together, somewhere. It takes some time for Shakthi to realize that everyone believes in something that is not exactly true. So, he sets out to prove that Anjali has actually found love and life with another person. Does he find her? What is she doing? This time the tables turn. Anjali is somber and Shakthi can’t stop talking. Does love happen? At the outset, it is important to understand that this film is not only about love or romance. It also shows at places about how life and all its ups and downs have to be dealt with. The story defends love and lovers under all circumstance. Some people might find certain thoughts a bit difficult to agree with, but that doesn’t hinder the film much. The chemistry of the lead pair which is the moving force of the film has worked well. Both Tamanna and Bharath look fresh and different in their roles. Bharath is neat and sophisticated in his role. Tamanna looks good especially in the half saree. As for her performance, she is really good while bringing out different facets of the character. It is a commendable effort. She has proved her ability to pull off a wide range of roles. The high point of the movie is Santhanam’s whacky comic act. Appearing as the bridegroom chosen by Anjali, his dialogues infuse life into the movie. The audience loves him, except when he goes into double entendre mode. This could have been avoided as it spoils the clean family entertainer status that the movie could have had. The major drawback of Kanden Kadhalai is its lack of continuity at places. There are also places where the events seem a bit artificial. The music, which is an important part of any romantic flick, has not worked too well. Only ‘Suttudhu Suttudhu’ makes an impression. Other songs don’t stick to your mind; their placement too is not apt. Camerawork is colorful and well suited to the mood of the film. Kanden Kadhalai is a film for the youth. People with romance in their hearts are bound to enjoy the theme and the subtle hints that the movie gives about love. It seems to be giving out the idea that failing in love or work once does not mean that the world has ended, there is always tomorrow. However, a few glitches in continuity take a toll on the film. Kannan has made a not too bad follow up to Jeyamkondaan. But with his proven credentials and a young cast, the remake of a Hindi superhit should ideally yield better results. Nevertheless, Kanden Kadhalai is quite an enjoyable fare for those who love romantic flicks. Verdict: Youth and love special http://www.behindwoods.com/tamil-mov...-kadhalai.html |

[/html:998a9c543b] Requiem for love: 2 hearts, pure emotion. Requiem for a successful production: The entire team moving and thinking as one entity; differences and different personalities notwithstanding. Kanden Kadhalai is a faithful, yet unique remake of the smash hit Hindi movie Jab We Met, directed by young Imtiaz Ali. Bharath and Tamannaah play the lead roles of Sakthivel, a rich, disenchanted businessman who suddenly finds himself a failure in love and at work; and Anjali, a young running too full of beans to be true, planning to run away from her charming family in Theni with the boy she is in love with. This is just as Shahid Kapoor and Kareena Kapoor played Aditya and Geeth in the original Jab We Met. And so the story goes... Shakthi (Bharath), a despairing industrialist, is even more brokenhearted as he is jilted in love as well. Unable to face returning home alone, he aimlessly wanders off to the railway station and boards a train, bounding away into the night. As destiny would have it, on the train he meets Anjali (Tamannah), a beautiful but annoyingly talkative girl who is leaving Chennai to go her hometown, Theni. She tells Shakthi - a complete stranger, but that doesn’t bother her - that she has plans of eloping with her boyfriend. So annoying is this chatty gnat of a girl, that the irritated Shakthi jumps off the train to escape from her. As Anjali tries to get him back on the train, she ends up missing it and the two find themselves stranded on a desolate station. Unwilling to leave a young girl to preying men, Shakthi sighs and decides to get her home safely, not knowing the rollercoaster ride that awaits him. Eventually, just as he begins to fall in love with her, they go their separate ways and he returns with strangely renewed energy at work. How the come back together forms the storyline of Kanden Kadhalai, a beautiful and captivating made-for-each-other love. Website: http://www.kandenkadhalai.com/ Videos: |

பரத்திற்கு தமன்னா கொடுத்த பரிசு!
பரத்திற்கு தமன்னா கொடுத்த பரிசு! பரத் ஒரு முருக பக்தர் என்பது நமக்கெல்லாம் தெரியும். ஆனால் அது தமன்னாவுக்கும் தெரியும் என்பதுதான் விசேஷம்! எந்த பிரஸ்மீட்டா இருந்தாலும் நடிக்க வரலேன்னா என்னவாகி இருப்பீங்க என்றொரு அரத பழசான கேள்வியை கேட்டு நடிகைககளை நெளிய வைக்கிற ஒரு சில பேனாக்காரர்கள், அதே ஸ்டைலில் இன்னொரு கேள்வியும் கேட்பார்கள் பரத்திடம். உங்க படத்திலே முருக கடவுளோட பேரு டைட்டிலாவோ, உங்க கேரக்டர் பெயராகவோ அமைஞ்சிடுதே...? ஏதோ இந்த கேள்வியை அப்போதுதான் எதிர்கொள்வது மாதிரி முகம் கொள்ளாத சந்தோஷத்துடன் பேச ஆரம்பிப்பார் பரத். “ஆமாங்க. எப்படியோ அமைஞ்சிடுது. பாருங்க, சேவல் என்ற டைட்டில் கூட முருகனோட பறவை சம்பந்தப்பட்டதுதான் என்பார் ஆர்வமாக! அப்புறம் பழனி, ஆறுமுகம்னு எனக்கும் முருகனுக்கும் அப்படி ஒரு ராசிங்க” என்று புளகாங்கிதப்படுவார். சரி, தமன்னா மேட்டருக்கு வருவோம். ‘கண்டேன் காதலை’ படத்தில் நடிக்கும் போது இவருக்கும் பரத்திற்குமான கெமிஸ்ட்ரியில் ஒரே வெளிச்சமாம். பரத்தின் பிறந்த நாளுக்கு தமன்னா கொடுத்த ஒரு கிஃப்ட் பரத்தை ரொம்ப ஆச்சர்யப்பட வைத்திருக்கிறது. “அவர் கொடுத்த பார்சலை பிரித்தால் உள்ளே முருகன் படம்! எப்படியோ எனக்கு முருக கடவுளை பிடிக்கும்ங்கிறதை தெரிஞ்சு வச்சிகிட்டு தமன்னா கொடுத்த அந்த படம் இப்போ என் வீட்டு பூஜையறையில் இருக்கு” என்றார் பரத். தமன்னாவுக்கு பிடிச்ச கடவுள் சாய்பாபாவாம். அடுத்த கிஃப்ட்டை ரெடி பண்ணிவிட்டு காத்திருக்கிறார் பரத். அதை கொடுக்க டிசம்பர் 21 ந்தேதி வரைக்கும் வெயிட் பண்ணணுமே! |
