Minsaara Kanavu

Finally, a recent movie about Catholics that isn't bending to the RSS-supported negative stereotype! Perhaps that's because it was made in the south, another place not looked upon too kindly by Hindutvadis. Kajol wants to be a nun, not because of western brainwashing or because she wants to hide from the world (as in yeh zindagi ka safar), but because she feels drawn to God and sees the church's emphasis on social work as something she really wants to have a part in. (Also doesn't want the shackles of marriage.) She looks stunning, as always -- she outshines her cousin (Rani) everywhere she goes. She is loved first by Thomas (Aravindsami plus 30 lbs and a whole lot of whitening creams since Bombay 2 years earlier?) and then by Deva (Prabudeva), who was sent by Thomas to woo her in his stead (very Shakespearean). There is a breathtaking semi-salsa dance scene with Kajol and Prabudeva, where he really proves his talent. Kajol, loves the church, is loved by two men who are friends.... which will she choose? You are really kept in suspense until the end!

I had seen this film in my UG second year. I simply loved, loves the film. Kajoland all other portraits to feel of the movie. It implicitly tells the life romantic scenes, especially in the song VENNILAVE VENNILAVE. tells Love differ from money. The friendly character of Prabhu Deva makes chemistry with love hated, especially marriage hated but cheerful Kajol. Arvindsamy character exploits very well with his professional look. Like the crown to all A.R.rahman's mind throbbing music which wins heart

Believe me, I have watched this more then dozen times.

This movie, my all time favorite... The very soul of the movie is, Music... A.R.Rahman have done his very best in producing music such as Vennilave Vennilave... Strawberry Kannae song, has been my all time favorite... Choreography is definitely something one will cherish for... Such a colorful movie and not the usual flicks in tamil cinema that were present around the same timeline! I have seen once in theater, I have seen tens on TV's and I have seen it hundreds on my computer, and i will watch it for thousands! Why? it's not just a movie for me, its the timeline, that I can very much relate and re-stroke my precious childhood memories!

actually you've got it wrong this film was first made in Tamil as Minsara Kanavu but due to its success it was dubbed in Telugu as Merupu Kalalu and Hindi Sapnay so thats why its the same as Sapnay , Sapnay is a dubbed version of Minsara Kanavu. The film was a Major success and the music won the music composer A.R Rahman Best Music Director award for the second time after the hit Roja,also Prabhu Deva won the Silver Lotus Award for Best Choreography . this film is a classic by any account and definitely worth a watch ...the music is heavenly and the acting by Kajol ,Arivind Samy and Prabhu Deva is filled with chemistry and connection ....a must see

I loved this film, which I watched quite awhile back, but still remember very clearly. All the songs were excellent, including amazing dance sequences (props to Prabhu!), and Kajol was beautiful, as always. One of the best songs in the movie includes a parade, great choreography with both Prabhu and Kajol. In the film, Kajol's character wants to become a nun, and is dedicated to God. However, Arvind's character loves her, and would do anything to have her love him, so he hires another guy (Prabhu) to do the work. As it turns out, Prabhu's character falls in love with her. So now, the girl is caught between two guys while she is aspiring to become a nun. And when you're a nun, there is no time for men...so it seems like the perfect solution. However, she is torn between her choices... I recommend that you watch this movie, because it has a great plot, a WONDERFUL ending, great music and all in all, it's just plain entertaining!
