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.

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.

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.

A First Class Motion pic after a long long long period...!!! Bharath, Sandhya, Sugumar & the little chap Arun... Amazing performance, thank you for giving us a chance of watching a golden film after a long long time. Thank you Mr. Bhalaji Shakthivel, thanks for bringing up such a true story into the screen, all credits for you and for your troop, also thank you Mr. Joshua, it's great to see you working with the additional programming experience and bringing the motions through your melodies... excellent work, and the entire crowd, for me it's more than 10 out of 10 ! and at last but not least thank you S Pictures Shankar Sir, still it's your movie ! wishing you the very great success in your forthcoming blockbuster Anniyan...!!! thank you !!!
There's nothing so special in this film.In this 140 minutes saga,the first 130 minutes is something which we find in innumerable love stories(Boy and girl run away etc.),only in the last 10 minutes there's something 'different',a twist.For this,it gets so much of acclaim.Also,another reason why it was 'acclaimed' is that dark lights are used to shoot this film.(To give a 'realistic look'.) The reason is the loud manner in which each and every relative of the heroine talks.(Cannot bear it.)It's waste of time.Cannot believe that this is praised so highly.Bharat and the heroine look good though. 4/10.That's all it deserves.

- TriviaThe school authorities did approve the use of their school name in the movie without hearing the story. Later they demanded it removed after watching the movie. Because it is about two lovers eloping and claims that it is a true story.
