"Ek Gaun mei, ek kisan raghu thaatha" is one of the famous comic dialogue that will forever be remembered in Tamizh cinema and the movie bearing this dialogue is none other than Indru poi naalai vaa. Wait!! Isn't this a review about Kanna laddu thinna aasaiya??? But why am I quoting a phrase from a movie that was released in 1981??? Such is the resemblance between the 2 movies or can I say, Kanna Laddu thinna aasaiya, a remake of Indru poi naalai vaa???
As soon as we hear the word re-make, our human mind immediately tends to compare the movie with the original one. We actually decide how good the movie is only based on the comparison with the original and not on the actual quality of the movie which is re-made. For a change, let’s forget about "Indru po naalai vaa" and review Kanna laddu thinna aasaiya.
CAST The cast of the film includes one of the most powerful stars, The Power Star - Dr. Srinivasan along with Santhanam and newcomer Sethu . Vishaka plays the
female lead in this movie.
Other notable characters include VTV Ganesh,K.Sivashankar and the famous duo of Kanchana - Kovai sarala & Devadarshini.
PLOT
The plot is simple and a well known one. Power Star, Santhanam and Newcomer are three best friends. The beautiful vishaka lands in the house opposite to the newcomer. The three friends fall for the same girl and declare war against each other to win the heart of Vishaka. The rest of the plot is about who wins the war and how.
Even though the plot is well known to us, the movie progresses with brisk pace and with lots of comedy. With Santhanam and power star there is no shortage of comedy and for most of the scenes, the entire cinema hall erupts with laughter. If there was a Hindi teacher and Martial arts trainer in "Indru poi naalai vaa", here it is Bharadhanatiyam dance teacher and classical singer. The very thought of Santhanam learning music from VTV Ganesh, who is a classical singer and Power star learning Bharadhanatiyam from Sivashankar makes us laugh.
Right from the introduction scene to the final scene, Santhanam and power star were absolutely at their best. Whatever power star does is comical. He effortlessly makes us laugh with his dialogue delivery and body language. Especially, the way he asks "En kita azhagiallya, arivillaya, body illaya??" Santhanam as always is a delight to watch with his comic sense and along with power star he delivers even better.
Both Vishaka and Sethu have done what was expected of their role. There was not much scope for Kovai sarala and Devadarshini to perform as they did
in kanchana. Power star and Santhanam grabs so much attention that we forget to look into other characters in detail.
POSITIVESin kanchana. Power star and Santhanam grabs so much attention that we forget to look into other characters in detail.
- Power Star Srinivasan
- Comedy
- Santhanam
Obviously the best thing that happened for the movie is power star. Comedy, One of the most appealing factor of the movie. If Indru poi naalai vaa has ""Ek Gaun mei, ek kisan rahutata", Kanna laddu thinna aasiaya has "N" number of scenes which is equivalent to it and makes us laugh all the way till the end of the movie. Santhanam, deserves a mention here especially because of his comic sense and the way he teases power star through out the movie.
NEGATIVES- Songs
- Unnecessary Guest appearances
- Length of the movie
Songs - First of all, A comic entertainer doesn't really require good songs or in this case I strongly felt, songs in this movie, hampered its momentum. If I am asked to rate the songs on the scale of 5, I would have given it 2 or probably 2.5 (Thanks to power star for making us laugh even during songs). Length (or) Movie runtime: Even though we seamlessly laugh through out the movie, there is a point were we feel the movie is a bit lengthy. Guest appearance of a leading actor & leading director (Don't want to spoil the surprise here) and related scenes looked unnecessary and film would have been way
better without it.
RATING and VERDICTbetter without it.
Kanna laddu thinna asaya is a laugh riot and a good entertainer which lives to its expectations.
