Kadhalikka Neramillai

Despite having a lot of positive elements that the makers tried hard to inject to make this film an intellectual one, Kadhalikka Neramillai fails to impress me as a regular audience.

I aim not to blame anyone for the film, except for one thing, and that is that a commercial film should remain commercial. If they try to input 'progressive stuff' in a wrong way then it would become a piece of garbage. A woman willingly conceives with the help of a fertility centre just because she realised that her acquaintances want kids seems a vague idea. Also, this movie showed a comparison of women from a patriarchal man's perspective is problematic. They tried to make a progressive commercial film based on an illogical story. Not recommended.

I was anticipating for this movie the song illukuthadi created such an expectation. If I watch it without any expectations it's a good movie. First I want to go with pros!

Pros: 1. The initiation! Kudos for that. Normalising pregnancy with donor, LGBTQ, glorifying women's career and single parenting it's wonderful!

2. Still in some movies female leads are only used for objectifying dance or to be the side chick for the male lead. This movie breaks the cycle and given such an admiring strength to the female lead!

3. The movie ambience was very good. Nithya Menon played the role of architect and the movie sets justified it. Her place her houses ambience was very good. The director gave a good detailing.

4. LGBTQ: As I already mentioned the initiation was wonderful. Usually Gays were potrayed with ugly stereotypes in most of our flims. But this film took a very decent approach and initiated gay parenting.

Cons: 1. I felt the director concentrated more on introducing western style of taking and stroy line but the actor's didn't apt well with it. In some areas i felt like they just memorized the script and repeating no justification was done for the westernised speaking. Even the accent was like they so artificial.

2. They tried to introduce so many things but failed to give a proper story line. It was like a drama play more than of a movie.

3. I am still confused how suddenly Jeyam Ravi' s character suddenly changed from not wanting children to loving them. They didn't give importance for that transition. His engagement was cancelled because he don't want children.

4. The film was so longgggg but story not properly executed.

Overall, It a okay ish movie. Can watch it one time. 4 stars for all the initiation. Little disappointed great storyline poorly executed.

Rating - 3.75/5

A vibrant entertainer manifesting on relationship and parenting portrayed through a splendid story narrative.

The plot of the story revolves around two ambitious professionals who have diverse ideology on committed relationships and how time and destiny brings them togethor forms the base for the storyline.

Kiruthiga Udhayanidhi has pulled off a fun to watch entertainer hilariously highlighting on the social stigmas with regard to single parenting, same gender marriage, one night stands, breakups and short term relationships. She has also pointed out the distinctive thought process behind the social taboos from the perspective of two different generations in the right proportion. The filmmaker has perfectly pitched the right emotions at precise moments that is evident through her robust screenplay writing.

Hats off to the director for the incredible casting in the movie. Nithya was absolutely living the character and gives an impression to the viewers that there is no other alternative to her character. Thoroughly enjoyed her performance. Ravi Mohan has pulled off his character charmingly alongside Nithya. Impressive performances by Lal,Vinay Rai,Yogi Babu,Vinodhini Vaidyanathan,T J Bhanu,Mano,Rohaan & Lakshmi Ramakrishnan.

Colourful frames by Gavemic U Ary & Lawrence Kishore's accurate cuts along with Music Maestro A R Rahman's groovy music and BGM's gave an absolute banger.

A definite go to movie for a relaxed fun to watch experience and take on relationships.

"Kadhalikka Neramillai" is a complex story told in a simple yet beautiful way. While the screenplay doesn't offer much in terms of depth, it constantly raises questions in the viewer's mind. Director Kiruthiga Udhayanidhi presents an easy watch that takes the audience through a range of heartfelt emotions.

One of the film's standout aspects is A. R. Rahman's music. He gives space for scenes to breathe while also making his presence felt in the right moments. Jayam Ravi aka Ravi Mohan delivers a clean and near-perfect performance, but it is Nithya Menen who truly shines. She embodies her role effortlessly, making it one of the best performances in the film.

The quirky ideas and the natural inclusion of a gay relationship without making it a major highlight add to the film's appeal. The way serious and happy situations are handled with the same tone is a fresh approach, though it works well in some places and falls flat in others.

Overall, Kadhalikka Neramillai is a great pick if you're looking for a lighthearted, feel-good film. It's best suited for younger audiences who enjoy breezy, comforting cinema .

"Kadhalikka Neramillai" (2025) is a Tamil romantic comedy that attempts to offer a fresh and contemporary take on love and relationships. While the film's first half is engaging and promising, with its charming leads and relatable situations, the second half falters with a predictable plot and a lack of narrative momentum.

Jayam Ravi and Nithya Menen deliver charming performances as Siddharth and Shriya, two individuals navigating the complexities of modern relationships. Their chemistry is undeniable, and the initial interactions between their characters are both humorous and heartwarming.

The film's exploration of themes such as single parenthood, societal expectations, and the challenges of balancing personal aspirations with romantic relationships is commendable. The first half effectively establishes the characters' motivations and sets the stage for a potentially engaging romantic journey.

However, the film's narrative loses its grip in the second half. The plot becomes predictable and relies on familiar tropes, with misunderstandings and miscommunications driving the conflict. The pacing slows down considerably, and the film struggles to maintain the same level of engagement as the first half.

The supporting characters, while adequately portrayed, lack depth and their storylines feel underdeveloped. The film's attempts at humor often fall flat, and the emotional moments lack the impact they deserve.

Despite its flaws, "Kadhalikka Neramillai" offers a refreshing take on modern relationships and showcases charming performances from its lead actors. However, its uneven pacing and predictable second half prevent it from being a truly memorable or impactful romantic comedy.
