Kaadal (Love)

Watched this movie called Kaadal-the latest Tamil movie, nth in the list of launching the cupid arrow. The movie is like any other typical failure love stories, but there are bunch of points that has made quite a difference and in my opinion will also make a huge impact in the most covetous "Box Office". I will elucidate them here.

1) Except for Bharat (the boy from Boyz and 4 the People - u will know this if you have listened to this "Lajjavathiye" song), all other characters are totally fresh and probably the first time ever facing the camera.

2) The movie was based out of Madurai and shot in the same place. No song sequences leapt to Tahiti islands or the Honululu. It has no fights and no jazzy settings.

3) I heard that the movie was shot in natural lights as much as possible, the director not using much of artificial lights.

4) One of the important points being, that the movie is an inspiration from a real life incident.

5) And last but not the least, the screen play and the direction was really outstanding.


Over all, the directory vividly portrays the negative aspects of letting one's infatuation grow into love. The initial flame of joy in the tunnel of love is extinguished by family and societal circumstances that leaves staggering wounds in the minds of the lovers. Most of them fail to see the light at the end of the tunnel and the veil of such failures leave them disoriented.

To love is not a sin and to be loved is not a curse, but the essence of true love lies is realizing the big dream of oneness by the two. It is upto the involved folks to overcome all stymies and taste the sweetness of love. If they fail, life can take nasty turns ruining people's life -sth well sculpted out in this movie. Watch it!
