    Realistic, romantic and stylish action film

    The movie is so realistic about an IPS officer. With the story line of an IPS officer who does stylish encounter. His passion is IPS and bachelor without any worries. He falls in love with with a beauty. A IPS officer who is not at all having any personal life how he is reacting to his lady of love its beautiful.

    The action part was stylish. Scene revolving around IPS officers were really clear, class and energetic. The clash between the IPS officers and the villains has exciting moments. Director made great combo by mixing sensational romance with revenge based action. How Anbuselvan love is affecting him and how his profession is affecting his love is about kakha kakha. Its really beautiful, entertaining and enjoyable film.

    If you haven't seen it already...you hafta!

    SPOILER: This one stood out for it's originality. I'm seriously tired of seeing Hindi movies that are a hotch-potch of a whole bunch of Hollywood and Brit movies. Some flaws were inevitable, nonetheless, this movie is a must-see. Surya's portrayal of the clean-cut, conscientious cop (as opposed to the pot-bellied, money-hungry ones that we normally see) was awesome. He's come a long way from his work in Nerukku Ner. I liked the movie so much that I had to own it. I'm not usually into the mindless violence type of movies, somehow I actually felt for each character and therefore can't really bring myself to call it 'mindless' violence. I do not appreciate the excessive melodrama and sentimental scenes that go hand in hand with most Hindi and Tamil movies. I absolutely loved this movie for it's lack of the same. ACP Anbuselvan's reaction to loosing his wife, is not overdone, is heart-wrenching and makes me want to bawl my eyes out. There are certain times when I'm watching a movie when I want to hit the FF button. Plenty of times I've wanted to do that at a cinema hall. Never wanted to do so when watching this movie. I'm really hoping that Ghajini releases soon.

    Masterpiece of GVM

    Kakha kakha, a beautiful story with the best dialogue in GVM's style. Enjoyed each and every scene of the movie. The songs are also good. Suriya's is has a very great difference compared to his previous movies, seems to be, like he has done a huge gym workout. Jothika is cute and marvelous in her acting. Scripting is the important part of movie making with has came out too good. I have no words to speak about the direction of GVM, which is absolutely admirable

    Superb, contemporary story.

    Kaaka Kaaka is a brilliant, intense film about being a policeman in India today. Not knowing anything about the film when I went in to see it, I was surprised by its slow, engaging storytelling style. Much of the film's attraction is in its temperament. Anbuselvan's lonesome personality, his respect for Maya (Jothika) and the extreme aggression of his adversary, Pandya (Jeevan) are placed in the context of today's India with remarkable maturity. The film is not without its flaws, but little must be mentioned of them; its importance lies with the fact that its made within the popular Indian film idiom of song and dance. Whatever it does to take it to a larger audience is done with a reasonable amount of respect for its own characters and the world that it tries to create.

    My Favourite Cop Movie

    It has been almost 5 years since the release of this stylish action flick.I have watched this movie almost 10 times and it a great effort by Gautham.From my perspective,I feel this movie is virtually flawless. Surya as ACP Anbuchelvan-no doubt..classy.Jyothika played her role as Maya very well.The character suits her very well.The character that caught movie-goers attention was Pandia.Jeevan played the role of Pandia very well.Brutal and fearsome.Jeevan deservedly received the Best Villain award in the ITFA 2004.The supporting cast of Daniel Balaji,Devadharshini and other performed well.

    Racy screenplay,perfectly-timed dialogues and brilliant narration by Gautham.The soundtrack by Harris Jeyaraj are all chart-busters while the BGM suits the movie very well.Cinematography by R.D. Rajasekhar is rich.Peter Hein choreographed the stunts well.Anthony's editing is precise.Above all,Kaakha Kaakha is a perfect cop film filled with right doses of action and romance.

    Even some Hollywood film cant compete with Kaakha Kaakha...undoubtedly.
