Kannum Kannum - My Review

I sat to watch this movie only for a reason that Prasanna is acting. I was much impressed with his performances in movies like 5 star, kanda naal mudhal, anjaathey, etc. All his movies did quite well in the theaters but I really doubt if this one will pull through.

Technology has advanced even beyond what our previous generation thought was incredible, and we use e-mails, sms etc. to communicate, and it is very fatuous that the director used the same old kadhal kottai ways of beginning love by sending inland letters to each other. I can only find my telephone bills, bank offers and advertisements, my college mark sheets and debit fees details. But ironically in the movie that is titled “Kannum Kannum”, the guy and the girl fall in love without even meeting each other!!

Prasanna decides to go to kutralam to meet her and stays in his friend’s house. From there the film is cloyed with emotions and dramas that are quite close to a seemly natural way and hence doesn’t really bore the viewers. Vadivelu has a comedy track disserved from the usual story and his dreadful jokes delineates vividly that producer has paid him the slightest amount.

But in the second half, for a little amount of time, Santhanam plays his part with his style of humour and that can really bring a smile for a movie that paces too seriously, if not for a laughter. Prasanna has acted well; actually speaking there is no big acting skill that is needed to play this role, so I am happy that he didn’t screw up.

The music was bad, simple and unsophisticated cinematography and the film is devoid of the regular Tamil film formulas like good dance, a good looking heroine, some action scenes and item numbers. They wouldn’t be making much difference to the movie anyways. All in all, a typical light Tamil film of low budget.

*/5 – The only star is for Prasanna and Santhanam’s parts and to the director who made sure that the movie doesn’t progress in a boring way.

Verdict: There is just nothing in the film!
