Kannadi Pookal

Before I watched the movie I didn't understand why they kept such an title. But after the movie was over only one thing was striking there cannot be a better movie title for the movie. It depicts what the movie is all about.

The story line is a boy who is the child of first wife & what he does when a new child born for the second wife of his father. The father marries the second wife after his first wife dies.

The story line is a usual one which all our tamil audience are familiar with. The screenplay has been done so well that you come out with a heavy heart. The movie is an emotional drama. Master Ashwin, Parthiban, Kaveri, Pyramid Natarajan are the casts & directed by Shajahan.

Parthiban without his usual double meaning dialogues has fitted the role. He has done this kind of emotional drama before in Azhagi. He has done well & fits into the character. In some scenes where his son would be accused & questioned in the court, the reaction Parthiban gives makes us to say "ada...". He has done a decent role.

Kaveri who has done as second wife to Parthiban has justified her role. The way she acts in the prison scene & also when she knows the truth for her child death were impressive. She can be a very good character artiste as her face fits for innocent characters.

Master Ashwin who is the central pillar of the movie, carries it well. Since, the movie is a malayalam remake, the way this boy speaks also remembers the parent language of the movie. But the performance shown by the boy is excellent. Think has a bright career ahead.

The director has to be appreciated for his excellent screenplay of this emotional drama. Yet the slow pace of the movie could be avoided. I hope the director rectifies & come out of a nice movie with emotional stuff next time. This movie would surely attract the ladies at 30-40. Since, it's easy for them to visualize the things. May be this movie wouldn't be a great at box-office. But it's a good one to watch.
