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 (2016): Vijay Sethupathi,Madonna Sebastian playing lead roles.Directed by Soodhu Kavvum fame Nalan Kumaraswamy.Produced by my favorite person C.V.Kumar and music by brilliant Santhosh Narayan.Any movie lover does not wish more than this.Such most talented people joined for this best entertainer Kadhalum Kadanthu Pogum.So how is it??
Plot: Inspired by 2010 Korean movie My Dear Desperado,KaKaPo deals with two unlikely people. Kathir (Vijay Sethupathi) who is a wannabe rowdy, whose only aim is to run a bar on his own. He is just back from five years of prison life and it was for his area councilor, who promised him to provide a posh life. Then, we have Yalini (Madonna Sebastian) who loses her IT job during recession and due to financial crisis, she stays in the small flat opposite Kathir. The rest of the film is all about how these two people with drastically different dreams gel with ease and develop a liking for each other.
Plus Points: 1)Screenplay and Direction: Screenplay is entertaining at its best.It has lot of laugh out loud moments and also cute feel good moments.There is not even a dingle boring scene in this entire movie.Few scenes are remarkable and really makes us to watch it again and again.Last half and hour is truly one of the best moments in recent times. Nalan Kumaraswamy really is such brilliant director.Even if this is a remake he showed his own mark of dark comedy.
2)Performances: Performances are major asset to movie.Vijay Sethupathi is one of the rare actors who redefines the meaning of so called unbeatable hero.He can play underplayed roles with so much ease.He truly is a gem.Madonna Sebastian is so cute and came up with brilliant performance.I started loving her more after this movie.Others also played their roles without flaws.
3)Music: Santhosh Narayan came up with amazing music.Both his songs and BGM are awesome.BGM really helped a lot for carrying movie's feel.KaKaKaPo song is best song of the album.
So Kadhalum Kadanthu Pogum is best entertaining movie of 2016 with brilliant performances,entertaining screenplay,topnotch direction and amazing music.
My rating 8/10

Screenplay may be slow.. But interesting movie..
Mostly can related with real life story.. We also get into the movie easily..
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.

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.
