Kaadhal !
Kadhal !
For a change, this week it was a Saturday I chose to go for a movie and it worked. There are few a movies that have made me silent and think. Previously it was "Sedhu", "Nandha" and now "Kadhal".
All these movies have a striking resemblance among them. Being simple. Very simple and straight. No exaggerations. No fight with villains. No graphics and just real. That should be the success behind "Kadhal" also. Even though "Kadhal" has been occupying in all cinema review columns and a lot have been written about the movie, there are many places where the director's touch is evident.
the scene in which Sandhya walks past Bharath's workshop and the shot rewinds and plays again with the voice over of the Bible sentence written on the wall of the church opposite the workshop.
the way in which the director has reduced unnecessary explanations by leaving the scenes themselves to speak
the way Bharath rides the bike like a typical mechanic
Sandhya and her character and her classmate
with lot of small shots the movie does not slow down even a bit
There are a lot more characters that needs mentioning in the movie. But there are certain small things that the director should have taken care of. Dubbing in some places particulary when there are more characters filling up the screen is one among those.
Music is another strong aspect of the movie. Joshua Sridhar has played his role to perfection. 7 songs in the movie but the topper is the slow number "Unakenna irupaen" which has been shot in the such colours which reflect that mood.
Its true that some part of the movie would touch you deep in your heart somewhere and will make you dwell there for sometime.
