Kadam
Kadha,
directed
by
debutant
Senthil
Rajan,
is
the
major
release
of
this
week.
The
film,
which
features
Vinay
Forrt
and
Joju
George
in
the
lead
roles
did
create
a
decent
amount
of
expectations,
with
its
posters
and
teasers.
But,
how
has
the
film
turned
out
to
be?
Keep
reading
to
know
more
about
it..
Plot
The
story
of
Kadam
Kadha,
revolves
around
two
insolvents.
One
is
Giri
(Vinay
Forrt),
who
owns
a
textile
shop
and
the
other
is
Cleetus
(Joju
George),
who
is
running
a
mechanic
shop,
but
to
no
avail.
They
are
desperately
in
need
of
some
money
and
it
is
then
that
Sreekumar
(Renji
Panicker),
comes
in
to
the
scene.
What
happens
next
has
been
narrated
in
Kadam
Kadha.
At
first,
let
us
see
how
the
actors
have
fared
for
the
movie..
Joju
George
As
Cleetus
Joju
George
was
simply
excellent
with
his
portrayal
of
Cleetus,
a
guy
who
is
in
need
of
some
big
money.
His
spontaneity
and
dialogue
delivery
are
the
key
factors,
which
make
him
a
real
treat
to
watch.
There
are
some
priceless
reactions,
which
gels
well
with
situation
of
the
character
that
he
has
portrayed.
Vinay
Forrt
As
Giri
Vinay
Forrt
plays
the
role
of
Giri
and
it
was
a
cakewalk
for
an
actor
like
him.
In
fact,
the
role
had
a
serious
tone
in
most
of
the
sequences
and
he
has
done
a
neat
job,
altogether.
Moreover,
the
chemistry
between
him
and
Joju
has
worked
out
pretty
well.
Renji
Panicker
As
Sreekumar
Renji
Panicker
essays
a
vital
role
in
the
movie.
He
plays
his
role
with
ease
and
once
again,
proving
that
he
is
really
improving
in
the
way
of
handling
emotional
sequences.
Srindaa
As
Chandini
Srindaa
appears
as
Chandini,
wife
of
Giri.
She
doesn't
have
much
to
do
in
the
film,
rather
than
calling
her
husband
on
the
phone
frequently.
A
rather
unwanted
and
clichéd
role
for
her.
Roshan
Mathew
As
Manish
Roshan
Mathew,
who
was
impressive
in
Aanandam,
is
at
his
casual
best
while
portraying
the
role
of
Manish,
a
radio
jockey.
He
suits
perfectly
to
this
role
and
has
done
his
best.
Rest
Of
The
Cast
Manikandan
Pattambi
takes
care
of
the
comedy
department
by
providing
some
occasional
chuckles.
Angamaly
Diaries
fame
Sinoj
deserves
applause
as
he
gave
everything
required
for
the
character.
Saiju
Kurup,
this
talented
actor
was
wasted
in
a
poorly
written
role.
Same
is
the
case
of
Hareesh
Kanaran,
who
just
appears
here
and
there
in
the
movie.
How
Is
Kadam
Kadha?
As
the
storyline
suggests,
Kadam
Kadha
takes
us
through
the
lives
of
two
people,
who
have
loads
of
debt
to
clear.
This
might
remind
you
of
some
of
the
movies
of
the
1990s
and
that
is
one
of
the
main
negatives
of
the
movie
as
majority
of
the
proceedings
go
in
a
predictable
way.
For
a
storyline
like
this
to
hit
the
right
chords
these
days,
there
has
to
be
some
sort
of
innovation
in
the
screenplay
and
the
presentation.
Kadam
Kadha
gives
some
hope
to
the
viewers
in
between
by
taking
a
new
track,
but
such
situations
are
short-lived
in
the
film.
The
script
penned
by
Philip
Sigi
lacks
the
punch
to
dish
out
a
film,
which
would
keep
the
audiences
entertained.
Kadam
Kadha
begins
on
a
promising
note,
with
a
title
song
taking
us
through
its
main
characters
but
disappointingly,
not
all
of
them
hold
due
importance
in
the
film.
The
character
development
is
weak
and
too
many
sequences
to
show
the
problems
of
Giri
and
Cleetus
spoil
the
show
at
many
instances.
On
the
positive
side,
there
is
a
major
twist
in
the
second
half,
which
might
come
as
a
surprise
to
some.
There
are
a
few
occasional
laughs
created
by
its
cast
members,
which
are
indeed
fresh.
Songs
by
Deepankuran
are
also
good
and
Faisal
Ali
has
done
a
good
job
with
the
camera,
especially,
the
picturisation
of
the
song
Nenje
Nenje,
but
the
song
was
so
badly
placed.
It
has
to
be
said
that,
it
is
a
rather
weak
debut
by
Senthil
Rajan.
He
has
shown
certain
glimpses
of
brilliances
here,
especially
in
sequences
where
the
film
demanded
the
mood
of
a
thriller.
He
is
left
confused
most
of
the
times,
as
to
which
path
to
take.
For
that
matter,
had
the
film
concentrated
on
the
thrilling
elements
more,
it
would
have
been
an
altogether
different
affair.
Verdict
Kadam
Kadha
is
a
usual
tale
and
has
nothing
new
to
offer.
The
good
performances
of
Joju
George
&
Vinay
Forrt
&
their
good
chemistry,
saves
the
film
from
being
a
complete
disappointment.
