Writers : Mani Ratnam, Jeyamohan
Starring : Goutham Karthik, Thulasi Nair, Arjun, Arvind Swamy
Kadal is all bout good vs bad and the central characters are essayed by Aravind Swamy and Arjun. In fact the two prominent stars got more screen-time and importance than the debutant actors, where the love story is interwoven between these two prominent characters Sam and Bergman in the backdrop of sea.
The initial hour of the movie is excellent and the Thomas characterization as the innocent child was heart-wrenching, but as the story progresses Mani has shown the struggle between the good and bad. The story moves at a very slow pace and it’s only in the second half the love story takes off. Arvind Swamy has tried to pull off the film in the first half but the characterization lacks the needed depth and it isn't convincing enough. This is definitely Aravind Swamy's comeback and his character was safe at his hands. Goutham Karthika did a splendid performance. Arjun's performance was also superb.While the narration holds your interest at times, the slow pace and the sloped screenplay frequently tests your patience.
Kadal lack's Mani Ratnam's magical touch. He failed to impress the audience this time also.
Rating : 2/5
Verdict : Disappointing
