Kanimozhi - Movie Review

Today, I had been to the movie: Kanimozhi, at PVR cinemas - Chennai. Starcast: Jai, Shazhn Padamsee, Vijay Vasanth. Music: Sathish Chakravarthy. Director: Sripathy.

The term "Kanimozhi" might ring the bells of politics in your ears, but this movie has got nothing to do as such with politics. The debutant director Sripathy, comes up with a laudable effort, tries to bring out a realistic sketch of love and life. However, he fails miserably to keep the audience gripping, in an almost blatantly predicable love story with philosophical flavors added to it.

To start with, the so called "plot" revolves around Rajesh(Main character played by Jai) who is portrayed as a visual communications student, aspires to be a film director. He falls into a one side love cliche with with the heroine (Shazhn Padamsee). Actor Vijay Vasanth plays a antagonistic role (Kowshik), who also tries to win the girl's heart. The crux of the movie is based on similar interests shared by Jai and Vasanth, including the heroine. (you should have guessed the story by now?)

Actor Jai has come up with a mediocre performance in the role (Rajesh) played by him. The heroine Shazhn Padamsee an utter disappointing act, manages to look like a doll, and convincingly manages to act also like a doll. Some of the characters played by Rajesh's friends, especially Micheal, provide some comic relief during the course of the film. The music director Sathish Chakravarthy has composed excellent tracks like Muzhumathi and Penne Pogathey, which keep the movie alive. The climax of the movie is inexplicably horrendous, leaves you totally flustered, erasing even some of the good scenes you might have enjoyed in the film.

Overall, the movie is a stern test of your endurance, which leaves you staring viciously at the screen, perhaps, even making you wonder, what the hell happened after the climax. A criminal waste of time, strongly advise you to watch it under your own risk !
