Comedy always sells. Proving this once again is Kanna Laddu Thina Asaiya. Santhanam's maiden production foray, a humour-based one, seems to be the perfect recipe for the festival occasion.
Santhanam, who has climbed many rungs in the comedian stakes in Kollywood has struck a chord with punchy and witty dialogues and is hugely popular these days.
He is at his best in 'KLTA' and shines through in the company of the remarkably popular 'Powerstar' Dr Srinivasan and Sethu. Vishaka dons the female lead in what turns out to be a laugh-riot.
The film directed by Manikandan is about three youths falling for the same girl 'a la' the Bhagyaraj-directed venture Indro Poi Naalai Vaa and stands out for Santhanam's one-liners and comical interludes.
The film revolves around the trio of Santhanam, Srinivasan and Sethu. The heroine Vishaka settles down in a house next to Sethu's.
He is bowled over by her and falls for her, almost immediately. Coming to know about the girl, Sethu's pals Santhanam and Srinivasan visit their friend often and spend a lot of time there. As expected, they too fall for her.
On his part, Srinivasan in a bid to impress her family enrolls in the Bharathanatyam classes run by the heroine's father, while Santhanam takes up singing classes with her uncle.
The rest of the story is what happens between the threesome and the girl and turns out to be a full-fledged entertainer with cameos by STR and Gautham Vasudev Menon.
Santhanam is the star but the role of Srinivasan and Sethu can't be underestimated while Vishaka looks pretty.
The rest of the cast includes VTV Ganesh, Kovai Sarala and Devadarshini and they too contribute to the mirth. In the end, 'KLTA' is an entertainer worth watching, if you are ready for a fun-filled ride.
