Megastar
Amitabh
Bachchan
has
heaped
praise
on
filmmaker
Mani
Ratnam's
latest
Tamil
entertainer
O
Kadhal
Kanmani,
saying
the
film
is
told
in
an
endearing
way,
capturing
the
essence
of
the
changing
times.
The
72-year-old
took
to
his
official
blog
to
share
his
views
about
the
film
after
watching
it
with
his
daughter
Shweta
Nanda.
"Shweta
and
I
get
to
see
Mani
Ratnam's
new
and
fresh
Tamil
film
at
a
trial,
and
it
is
a
sweet
and
endearing
story
of
love
among
the
young.
Fresh
and
with
a
sense
of
the
changing
times,
in
keeping
with
the
sensibilities
of
this
generation,
it
shows
compassion
and
example
with
great
dexterity," he
posted
on
srbachchan.tumblr.com.
Touted
to
be
Ratnam's
comeback
to
the
romance
genre,
the
film
is
set
in
Mumbai
and
follows
the
story
of
a
young
couple
Aadi
and
Tara
who
decide
to
live
together
even
before
marriage.
The
'Paa'
actor
lauded
film's
star
cast
-
Dulquer
Salmaan
and
Nitya
Menen
-
for
portraying
the
role
with
conviction.
"Values
are
not
lost
in
the
practices
that
this
generation
may
desire,
but
sufficient
understanding
on
both
parts
is
beautifully
portrayed
by
two
young
performers
who
play
the
lead.
"They
are
a
delight
to
watch
-
the
boy,
Mammootty's
son...Mammootty
the
mega
star
of
Malayalam
Cinema
in
Kerala...and
equally
a
sprightly
love
interest
in
his
opposite
number...a
young
lady
of
enormous
verve," he
shared.
