Kadal

- Cant believe its a Mani Ratnam movie, the screenplay is very slow and boring. The story bit people would have seen in many movies and nothing is different. I can see so many shades of many movies like Heroine, turning a bad guy to a good one, Two opposite people with a hero in to it. Hero is an orphan, due to which he becomes bad. Etc..Etc.. BGM is good, however only one song is good ( Nejikula ) and that too it has been disturbed with dialogues. Arvinds Swamy has done is part well. But Arjun is abosultely not suiting for a Villain Character. Gautham Karthik & Tulsi not even creating any impact in their debut performance. One thing also noticed in this movie that women characters portrayal is bad. Gautham's mother as a prostitute, Tulsi's mother as Arjun's bosses wife in turn marrying Arjun. Lakshmi Manchu, her part is very minimal and that too she is claiming that Arvind Swamy had a secret affair with her. ManiRatnam's wife Suhasini claiming that she is fighting for women's welfare on the other hand her husband portraying women like this. I cannot say the cinematography is extremely good when compared to earlier movies of Rajiv Menon. In this movie it is average. On the top of it climax seems like old MGR movie Ayirathil Oruvan ship fight. But it will extremely good when compare to this movie. In that movie MGR will fight for Jayalalitha, here Gautham fights for Tulsi no difference right!!!! Sincere advice dont go and sleep in theatre !!!!!
