Kaathuvaakula Rendu Kaadhal Movie Review: Vijay Sethupathi, Samantha, Nayanthara shine in this flawed film

Director Vignesh Shivan’s Kaathuvaakula Rendu Kaadhal goals to be a romantic comedy with a enjoyable idea at its core. It’s about Rambo (performed by Vijay Sethupathi), who’s made to assume that he’s the unluckiest individual on this world. And he feels fortunate when he falls in love with two girls, Kanmani Ganguly (performed by Nayanthara) and Khatija (performed by Samantha), on the similar time. Principally, he is two-timing, however he has a ‘purpose’ for it.

In the event you ask, what is the enjoyable idea right here, then you definately’re proper. There may be not. This can be a morally flawed idea that has translated into ‘iconic’ movies in the previous couple of many years. Kaathuvaakula Rendu Kaadhal is not any completely different from a number of love triangle movies that got here out up to now.

Vignesh Shivan is understood for constructing quirky worlds in his movies. In Kaathuvaakula Rendu Kaadhal, we see a household filled with single folks as a result of the village thinks that those that get married into the household will die. Vijay Sethupathi’s Rambo additionally belongs to the identical household. His father dies on the day Rambo is born. And the whole village thinks it’s due to him. His mom suffers from a stroke and is bedridden. Rambo thinks that his mom is not going to recuperate if he is together with her and runs away from his house. Years later, he’s a cab driver and when he meets Kanmani and Khatija, he falls in love with each of them.

Rambo says that he loves them equally and each time he is compelled to decide on one amongst them, he falters. So candy, is not it? However, it actually is not. Kaathuvaakula Rendu Kaadhal is not any completely different from all Selvaraghavan’s movies the place the heroine must babysit the hero and heal him. On this movie, not one, however two girls babysit a manchild.

Kaathuvaakula Rendu Kaadhal has a number of morally flawed ideas which get cringe-y as you delve deep into them. It is usually like a bunch of WhatsApp forwards put collectively. You get to see platonic love between the trio, a personality explaining what ‘jinx’ means and random social messages about mentally-challenged folks. However, all the pieces is stitched collectively solely to make Rambo assume he is fortunate on this world.

Vijay Sethupathi, Samantha and Nayanthara have delivered robust performances and it’s them who’re holding the ship from sinking. The comedy sequences work nicely and the three actors had been a whole hoot. It was Redin Kingsley who stole the present in Kaathuvaakula Rendu Kaadhal. Be careful for a scene within the second half the place he tries to persuade a girl to come back out of her home.

Here is the trailer of Kaathuvaakula Rendu Kaadhal:

One other main benefit of Kaathuvaakula Rendu Kaadhal is Anirudh Ravichander’s music. The superhit songs and the background music make the entire movie satisfying.

Kaathuvaakula Rendu Kaadhal has Vignesh Shivan written throughout it. The staging, comedy and flawed ideas creep in while you least anticipate it. The director can be self-aware. In a scene, a sidekick tells Vijay Sethupathi that he is doing a shameful job by chasing two girls on the similar time. And we agree. It’s inconsistent in its remedy. Whereas there’s a lot hype about Rambo’s mom’s character, it turns humorous the following minute, making it tough to course of the sentiments.

Kala Grasp, Seema, Sreesanth and Dhilip Subbarayan performed their elements nicely. The comedy sequences between Redin Kingsley and Lollu Sabha Maaran had been absolute enjoyable.

Kaathuvaakula Rendu Kaadhal offers with platonic love, however the route it takes is extraordinarily problematic. The principle grouse of the movie is that it by no means takes itself significantly.

2.5 out of 5 stars for Kaathuvaakula Rendu Kaadhal.
