Producer
Udhayanidhi
Stalin
is
turning
a
full-time
actor
with
Oru
Kal
Oru
Kannadi,
which
is
out
and
out
comedy
entertainer.
With
hilarious
one-liners
and
wonderful
performances
of
the
lead
stars,
the
Tamil
film
wins
the
heart
of
the
audience.
The
story
begins
with
a
courier
boy
delivering
a
post
to
Saravanan
(Udhayanidhi
Stalin),
where
he
receives
a
wedding
invitation
of
his
girlfriend
Meera
(Hansika
Motwani).
In
order
to
stop
the
marriage,
he
sets
a
journey
to
Pondicherry
along
with
Parthasarathy
(Santhanam)
in
a
car.
As
they
move
ahead,
a
flashback
opens
up,
which
tells
the
tale
of
their
friendship
and
their
love
story.
Saravanan,
who
is
a
childhood
friend
of
Partha,
sees
a
masked
girl
at
a
traffic
signal
when
he
was
on
his
way
to
drop
his
mother
(Saranya
Ponvannan)
to
a
college.
The
mother
and
son
pass
on
a
comment
that
makes
her
to
remove
her
scarf
and
show
her
face.
The
moment
he
sees
her
face,
he
falls
in
love
with
her
and
the
love
story
begins.
The
rest
of
the
tale
is
advised
to
watch
on-screen.
From
the
word
go,
Oru
Kal
Oru
Kannadi
keeps
you
engaging
with
its
comic
scenes.
Though,
we
cannot
say
that
the
movie
has
a
good
story,
there
is
not
a
single
moment
where
the
audience
get
bored.
Director
Rajesh
has
penned
a
simple
yet
lively
story.
His
narration,
like
before,
is
impressive.
The
strengths
of
Oru
Kal
Oru
Kannadi
are
the
one-liners
and
the
way
Santhanam
mouths
it.
However,
the
drawback
of
the
story
is
that
there
is
not
anything
new
in
the
film
and
the
audience
had
seen
such
rom-coms
more
often
than
not.
Acting
wise,
Udhayanidhi
Stalin
does
a
good
job
in
his
debut
film
Oru
Kal
Oru
Kannadi.
He
looks
younger
than
his
age
and
if
he
can
improve
his
acting
skills,
the
producer-turned-actor
can
definitely
take
up
a
full-time
acting
career.
But
his
dancing
abilities
are
not
impressive
and
he
has
to
work
on
it.
When
it
comes
to
Santhanam,
the
comedian
breaks
the
funny
bones
of
the
audience
all
through.
In
fact,
it
would
not
be
exaggeration
if
we
say
that
he
is
the
second
lead
actor
of
the
film.
Bubbly
Hansika
Motwani
is
beautiful
and
charming.
Last
but
not
the
least,
Saranya
Ponvannan
has
given
an
excellent
performance.
And
others
like
Azhagam
Perumal,
Sayaji
Shinde,
Uma
Padmanabhan
are
okay
in
their
limited
roles.
It
is
also
noted
that
Arya,
Sneha
and
Andrea
have
done
guest
appearances
in
the
movie.
Technically,
Balasubramaniam's
cinematography
is
good,
Harris
Jayaraj's
'Venaam
machan...'
and
'Kathal
oru
butterfly...'
are
praise
worthy.
Vivek
Harshan's
editing
is
decent.
We
should
appreciate
director
M
Rajesh
for
doing
a
neat
and
enjoyable
film.
Verdict:
Oru
Kal
Oru
Kannadi
may
not
have
a
great
storyline,
but
watching
the
film
is
worth
every
penny.
