    a beautiful remake of 'my dear desperado'

    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.

    Beautifully crafted feel good film of the year

    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.

    Unexpected Movie

    Unlike all other movies really this movie is too different. Director nalankantan was superb Unexpected things from Director: 1. The extraordinary story he wrote and the its not look like written story with hand and its look like real time story written from heart 2. Screenplay of the movie was awesome. 3. Dialogs was superb Unexpected things from Actors: 1. I don't want to say vijay sethupati and madona as hero and heroine because they never shown the stardom. 2. They shown their acting skill 100% in this movie

    Sweet, Breezy, Lovable that's what KaKaPo is. (Strictly no spoilers)

    After making a black comedy film like Soodhu Kavvum the only thing you expect from Nalan is another laughter riot like the previous one and both Nalan and the producer clearly knows this. If you are expecting it to be a laughter riot, no it is not.

    Thinking in the way how a modern girl falling in love with a local goon has become such a clinch in our kollywood industry, The film the way it is taken (especially the climax) makes total sense. Maybe this one is Nalan's stereotype in proving it right.

    Yes the film is inspired from 'my dear desperado' but the way how Nalan makes this film in our chennai style adding engineering unemployment to the background you after to thank Nalan for it. The film could have been easily turned into an non sensible laughter riot but Nalan's light heated sense and making makes this love lovable with right amount of cute laughable scenes.

    Thank you Nalan Kumarasamy and CV Kumar for this film. With Nalan and Karthik Subbaraj our future of kollywood is in safe hands.
