Honestly I hadn't heard about this movie until a couple of
hours before seeing it. My friends were in the mood for a movie, and they felt
like Tamil, so Idhu Kathirvelan Kadhal
was the pick of the day. The plot is fairly straight forward, being largely
light, with a few serious sentiments such as old school traditional values, and
love/relationship myths being touched upon. There is also a family feud, for
which the main characters in the movie come up with a creative and humorous
solution, possible only in romantic comedies.
Performances are decent, with Udhayanidhi Stalin and Nayantara doing a
good job. The standout character is Mayil played by Santhanam; his non-stop
comedy being the true entertainer in the flick. Supporting characters Vineethra
(Chaya Singh) and her husband Shanmugham (Dr. Bharath Reddy) a Coimbatore-based
mill owner, also perform admirably. Overall Idhu
Kathirvelan Kadhal is a decent movie if you’re looking for something light
and have some time to kill. It’s not very deep and doesn't require much
thought. There are a few song and dance sequences, and those are a little
boring as expected; thankfully they aren't distasteful or bordering vulgar. The
long 2 hour 45 minute run-time of the movie was a bit much, but thankfully
director S. R. Prabhakaran did a good job in ensuring there aren't any overly
slow or dull moments.
My Recommendation: Watch
it – (A light, fun, casual, no brainer, ro-co movie)
