Kannaamoochi Enadaa

Posted by powerfulfour - 8 mnths ago

Love at first sight, resistance from parents, and villainy from the wicked uncle V.Priyas second venture Kannaamoochi Enadaa has it all but still impresses you due to its sheer sweetness. In the contemporary world of cinema ruled by edge-of-the-seat action thrillers, Kannaamoochi Enadaa attempts to break the barrier with the formula of feel-good love supplemented with familial bonds. Prithviraj, an Software architect by profession who lives in Malaysia, is the millionaire stepson of Radharavi. Having lost his parents early in life, Prithvi runs the business of his uncle with impressive results. He stumbles upon the psychiatry student Sandhya, in the most cinematic manner, and as script would have it, falls for her that very instant. Sandhya is the daughter of Commissioner of Police Satyaraj and Radhika in Chennai. As the fairy tale progresses, Sandhya is being summoned by her parents for their silver jubilee wedding anniversary back home. Notwithstanding the fact that he has a flourishing business to attend to and much to the wrath of his uncle - who arranges for his wedding with his business partners daughter - Prithvi takes the next flight to Chennai to accompany Sandhya. He is subjected to a warm welcome by Radhika and cold shoulder by Satyaraj. To make matters worse, Radharavis vicious character assassination in the name of a complaint he sends to the Police Commissioners office doesnt help Prithvi in the task of gaining enough confidence among his girlfriends parents. Will Prithvi ever win his love back, now that his chance of impressing Sandhyas parents are doomed, forms the rest of the story. Kannaamoochi Enadaa thus sledges its way towards a rather predictable ending adding yet another array of characters during the process. The first half of the movie has a striking resemblance to the Hollywood blockbuster Meet the Parents but Priya has intelligently desified the script. The movie does have its moments. Not to mention, The director deserves to be lauded for not banking on just eyeball grabbing skin show or gravity defying stunt scenes. The first half of the movie travels at a good speed with a medley of romantic and feel-good scenes, courtesy the chemistry between Prithvi and Sandhya that lights up the screen vibrantly. While Prithvis strategies to woo Sandhya are adorable, his traits do work wonders for the movie. His career is gaining momentum and his nuances in acting are discernible during emotional scenes especially during the scenes where he suffers insult at the hotel by Satyaraj. Sandhya plays a chirpy and short-tempered young girl and pulls it off with consummate ease. She looks adorably cute in the song sequences thanks to whoever designed her gorgeous costumes. Some of her antics do have a Jyothika hang over though. The scene where Prithviraj has trouble sleeping while Sandhya is sound asleep, he tells Sandhya that he wants to be good grandfather for her grandchildren and goes back to sleep peacefully and Sandhya looses her sleep was a cute scene. Although Satyarajs character demands dignity and poise expected of a Police Commissioner, director Priya seems to have purposefully diluted the seriousness of the character portraying him rather comically. However, you can't imagine anyone but Satyaraj essaying such a character with utmost comfort. Radhikas role as a mother makes for another neat choice, wonder why she limits herself to the small screen. Nothing much to talk about Radharavi and Sripriya. The constant fight between the twins Sathyaraj and Sripriya over who is elder is done brilliantly and many twins will relate to these two charectors. While the dialogues are crisp and engaging, the cinematography is ok in patches. In some scenes the frames are pretty low which might be noticed even by a novice and in some places the tint changes rapidly. Better editing could have saved the slumping second half. Yuvans music is OK, with yesteryear hit remix Andru Vandadum Adhe Nila standing out. But the Kan oonjal adi irundhal song was picturized very enjoyably. To sum it all up, Priya.V's effort is noteworthy, If her first movie was like a morning cup of coffee for the youth this time she serves well for the whole family. Kannaamoochi for all to enjoy. Verdict - Worth a watch.
