Kaadhal

Vanakkam,

A story of true love. Many new faces in the movie in turn marketing the movie - grass root marketing. (Is it viral marketing model or is it open source model - either way the beneficiaries are the Tamil speaking people, myself included). The native Madurai is well portrayed with many subtle aspects. Did I miss out Chennai scenes too done equally well. The contrast looked more like dual specialty done by Balaji Shaktivel.

Music - Joshua Sridhar The supporting cast - Alex, Amsaveni Paatti, Arun Kumar, Dandapani, Jaidurga, Kausalya, Krishnamurthy, Meenakshi & Sukumar. Producer C. Shankar Camera - Vijay Milton Art Director - K Veerasami Editor - G Sasikumar.

Well one of the masterpiece in tamil film history. The credit definitely goes to director Balaji shaktivel. The interesting thing about this movie is the reality in which is showcased. This type of film definitely needs a boost as it mainly deals with emotion.

The performance of actress Sandhya was really nice. It was really hard to expect good acting from new-comers. But Sandhya really showed matured role that earned her filmfare award for best actress. Especially the scene in ending in which she weeps made me almost in tears(which i was not able to resist).

The naturalness of this movie is a plus point. Everyone in this movie showed there own performance though they were new to this field(film industry).Well bharath was also good is this movie.

This movie showed what a true love is. Even when aishwaria was married to other man she still remembered murugan(her first husband). That is the true sign of love.

This movie tells us that there are some people in our society((full of narrow minded people))who are still broad minded like the husband in the end of the movie who can sacrifice everything for her wife even though he comes to know about the past of her wife. Since it is a true story the real man who is husband deserves praise from all. At last i would say this type of low budget movies really deserves praise for excellent featuring.

i saw this movie just an hour back ,so one can understand my urgency in writing this comment so soon.

what can i say about this movie...perfect screenplay,great music,amazing cinematography and also good performances.

movies like this are rare in Indian cinema nowadays.Even though this a normal love story about a rich girl and poor boy,the treatment is different and also what adds up,is that this is based on a true story.

The first half of the movie is about how they fall in love.well there is enough entertainment in the first half, the second half is realistic.one performance that stands out is that of the heroine-sandhya.she gives a knockout performance in her very first film.

this movie deserves its entry in London film festival.8/10.

Excellent !! Excellent !! Excellent !!

I was dumbstruck when i saw the movie for the first time. This kinda movies just happens. Right from the scene 1 , it locks u in your seat. Some of the points which are worth to be mentioned . 1. Great camera work. The camera just captures the reality n only reality. The suburban part of Tamilnadu is flashed in the screen perfectly without any make up or settings. 2. Music. Applauds to Joshua Sridhar. He has done a neat job. The music supports the extraordinary performance of the cast. 3. Sandhya n Bharath . I broke into tears in the climax. The climax would surely scratch the tears out of toughest heart. Ultimately u will feel for the characters. Commendable job by Sandhya. She just makes ur heart heavy n i bet her weep in the climax will haunt u for days. Bharath etches out for another classical performance. The producer Shankar would have never expected that "Kaadhal" will creates this much gravity among lovers. If you have loved , loving then Kaadhal is more than a movie to you.

This movie had an enormous effect on me that i kept thinking abt the real lovers who were responsible for this movie (director says that it is a real life incident).

Kaadhal will remain forever as one of the best movies in Tamil filmdom.

Kaadhal is a director's movie all the way...His take on this teen-love story can be commended. The story is strong but than the director, Balaji, concentrates more on the happy moments, 20% of the story, taking abt 80% of the play time. His analysis of the lives of the rich-college-girl and the Auto-Mechanic is excellent..One can observe this at the time the boy,Muruga waits for the girl,Aiswarya at the shopping complex, his nails having a bit of grease. Most part of the story happens in the last 20 mins or so with huge pace giving less chance for the sentiment showing out of ur eyes.

The cast and the crew are a right combination...Every one assisted each other well in the technical department.Sandhya and Bharat portrayed the teen protagonists. Both the characters are etched excellent and are realistic.The Bachelorhood at the Mansion is excellently and realistically depicted without much explicitness.

The Tamil used in the movie is a bit funny for a non-Tamilian like me("Ais ka Iceaa"). The kid at the Repair shop did a remarkable job.All in all this is a good movie worth a watch...Though it seems a bit dragged in the middle but thats necessary to get the feel in the climax.
