There
are
certain
ambiguities
that
need
to
be
sorted
out
after
watching
Kandha
Kottai.
How
come
filmmakers
are
still
beating
the
same
bush
with
hackneyed
stories?
If
so,
how
do
producers
okay
such
scripts
and
turn
them
into
pictures
spending
lavish
money?
We"re
sure;
you
will
walk
out
of
theatres
with
so
many
questions
in
your
mind
after
watching
this
film.
If
there
could
be
some
movies
that
make
you
feel
that
you"ve
wasted
140mins
of
your
life,
'Kandha
Kottai" is
sure
to
hold
a
prominent
place
amongst
the
lists.
The
film
doesn"t
carry
a
single
attribute
to
be
appreciated.
The
script
is
tenuous
as
it
cannot
hold
the
attention
of
audiences
while
the
screenplay
is
so
boring
that
you
feel
like
walking
out
of
theatres
prior
to
climax.
The
film
is
about
Siva
(Nakul),
who
strongly
objects
a
thing
called
'Love" and
is
dead
against
the
lovers
and
alienates
them
at
any
cost.
On
the
other
end,
we"ve
Pooja
(Poorna)
in
Nagercoil
completely
opposite
in
nature
to
Siva
as
she
strives
uniting
the
lovers.
When
Siva"s
sister
Girija
falls
in
love
with
Pooja"s
cousin
boy
in
Chennai,
she
sets
out
to
ensconce
the
proposal
in
an
affirmative
approach.
But
then,
there
are
conflicts
between
the
Siva
and
Pooja,
who"re
like
chalk
and
cheese.
At
once,
as
Pooja
reveals
about
what
the
real
love
is,
Siva
cannot
withstand
his
firm
principle
and
falls
in
love
with
her.
But
when
Pooja
reciprocates
her
proposal
to
him,
she
is
swamped
in
problems
as
Annachi"s
(Sampath)
son
in
love
with
Pooja
commits
suicide
after
knowing
about
this
affair.
Since,
Annachi
has
promised
his
son
that
he
will
not
harm
Pooja,
he
starts
killing
the
people
around
her.
All
that
he
wants
is
to
make
Pooja
lead
a
widow-like
life
as
he
believes
that
girl
was
the
cause
for
his
son"s
death.When
Siva
comes
to
know
about
these
problems,
things
start
taking
a
turn
as
he
challenges
Annachi
that
he"ll
marry
this
girl
within
3
days.
Nakul
has
to
improve
a
lot
in
choosing
the
script.
He
never
suits
the
role
of
a
middle-or-low
class
guy.
Be
his
previous
Maasilamani
or
this
one,
he
doesn"t
suit
the
roughneck
roles.
Instead,
he
can
attempt
trying
his
luck
on
some
appealing
characterizations.
Nonetheless,
his
dancing
skills
are
marvelous
and
so
is
his
vocalism
for
'Eppadi
Ennul
Kadhal
Vandhadhu'.
Poorna
has
aped
Asin
throughout
the
show
and
she
needs
to
choose
better
costumes,
as
the
skimpy
ones
don"t
suit
her.
Santhanam
adds
to
the
humor
quotients
with
his
rib-tickling
comedy
tracks,
but
that
too
turns
to
be
hackneyed
after
certain
extent.
Sampath
sleepwalks
through
his
role
as
a
baddie.
Dheena"s
musical
score
is
unimpressive
for
both
songs
and
background
score.
Apart
from
'Eppadi
Ennul
Kadhal
Vandhadhu',
none
of
the
melodies
sound
commendable.
Sakthivel
hasn"t
given
prominence
to
technical
departments
of
cinematography
and
editing,
as
there
are
lots
of
discontinuities
between
the
shots.
On
whole,
Kandha
Kottai
lacks
substantiality
in
both
narrative
and
technical
aspects
and
it
has
no
chances
of
surviving
at
box
office
even
for
a
week.
