Romantic films are no aliens to Tamil cinema. Our audience is very closely attached to romantic films because this is one genre that is close to reality. But unfortunately, Kollywood has not witnessed a full-fledged decently made romantic film in the recent days.
Kadhal Kan Kattudhe is a rom-com that talks about the ups and downs of a relationship between a couple. As said earlier, we have seen many films on romance, but only very few make us convinced about the couple falling in love. K3 is one such film, as the lead pair, KG and Athulya are good friends at first, (we see montage shots), and only a few minutes before the interval, they fall in love. In this context, the falling in love concept is acceptable, unlike a few films in which the hero and heroine fall in love with each other in a fraction of a second.
The whole film carries on the shoulders of KG and Athulya, as they both travel throughout the movie, and it is their transfer of emotions that makes the film, a feel-good watch. Athulya scores easily as her cute expressions and emotions have fetched her fans already. KG’s two friends are a major boost for the film. Whenever the film loses on its engagement, these both save the film to an extent. One friend scores with the dialogues, while another score just with his body language and mannerisms. Performances of other actors like Athulya’s manager, KG’s boss are very artificial and lacks maturity.
Dialogues are so close-to-reality, and it is one of the most important aspects where the film scores as there are no melodramatic lines. Father - Daughter, mother - son, emotions are also conveyed in a subtle manner in a single scene. The K3 team has not experimented anything new, and they have openly admitted it in the film’s final card, which says “a simple love story.”
