My rating 8/10

I read somewhere that this movie was initially titled "Eskimo Kadhal" before the makers finally fixed on "Kadhalum Kadanthu Pogum". And there is a scene where the heroine refers to the male protagonist as a dog that eskimos cuddle and hug to keep themselves warm during the biting cold weather. The guy responds by asking "Naaaya?" in the quirkiest way possible. It is precisely this sort of cleverly written dialogue that make Ka Ka Po worth a watch at the cinema hall. I just wish there were more people with me to appreciate or hoot or laugh their guts out when they were actually supposed to. Nalan (of Soodhu Kavvum fame) crafts his second film in a manner that completely overturns traditional rom-com clichés. We even have the typical hero-saves-heroine-from-the-horny-bad-guy scene. But all that is done with such elan and finesse that the viewer buys it without hesitation. Vijay Sethupathi has time n' again proved to be the go-to guy for roles like these. He is basically a thug, with some forced swag, but also one with a heart. We have seen countless number of masala flicks where the heroine instantly falls in love the hero when he merely flexes his muscles while beating up some twenty or thirty odd goons in a street ^vegetables and colored-powder fly in the air^. In this case, the fights are concise and shot judiciously. The funny moments are sprinkled throughout and at times, you need to be a real good observer to notice the hilarious puns. The ROFL moments happen during a bar fight and an interview respectively. I won't reveal how Nalan and Sethupathi pull it off because it NEEDS to be seen and cherished. Another aspect of the film that warrants admiration is the scintillating background score and music by Santhosh Narayanan. The pulsating "Pangaali" track is apt for the 'Sethupathi-goes-full- on-rogue' scenes while "Ka Ka Ka Po" hands out the kuthu song on a platter to the viewer. The BGM is generally breezy and gels well with the proceedings. It is definitely worth mentioning that Madonna has nailed her first full-blown character with consummate ease. Unlike 'Naanum RowdyDhaan' which was a black comedy full of hilarious characters apart from Sethupathi's and Nayantara's (such as RJ Balaji, the old man who plays 'Rahul', the interracial Pondy couple, Anandaraj, Parthiban and so on), Ka Ka Po rather revolves completely around the two leads. Credit should be given to Sethupathi and Madonna for completely holding our attention since they take up almost 95% of the movie's run-time. Nalan may not have attained the levels of Soodhu Kavvum in terms of hilarity, nonetheless pulls off his second venture quite eloquently by not playing to the galleries instead providing the intelligent cinema- goer with enough matter to chew on. Okay, maybe not two thumbs-up but most certainly deserving of 'one-and-a-half'. Keep up the good work Nalan and crew. Looking forward to your next!

generally the romance movies are clichés.but this one is different.unlike other blunder action stars in tamil, vijay sethupathy's role in the movie is just a common man like all of us.his mistakes, mindsets and simple thoughts are the subject of this movie.even though there is not much romantic scenes in the movie, i think this one of the best Indian romantic movie i had ever seen.a feel good comedy as well as an emotional film that satisfy all the elements needed for a good film viewer.

Kadhalum Kadanthu Pogum stars Vijay Sethupathi and Madonna Sebastian in lead roles. Sethupathi is a superb actor and has proved once again with this film as a tough-acting thug with a tender heart. Madonna is a perfect fit for the role of a fresher looking for a job in IT industry, This film is a light hearted take on the issues they face in their daily lives and shows the friendship that blossoms between them over time into a beautiful romance. The action scenes, the lead chemistry, the comical portions and almost everything else in the movie is realistic for most parts.

Accompanied by an engaging screenplay, terrific musical score by Santosh Narayanan and pleasing songs, Kadhalum Kadanthu Pogum is a winning light hearted love story and a must watch for any season.
