maiden
production
venture
starring
himself,
Sethu
and
Power
Star
Srinivasan
and
VTV
Ganesh,
Kanna
Laddu
Thinna
Aasaiya
(KLTA)
is
inspired
by
filmmaker-actor
K
Bhagyaraj's
yesteryear
superhit
film
Indru
Poi
Naalai
Vaa.
It
is
purely
a
comedy
film
directed
by
Manikandan.
Expectations:
With
Karthi's
Pongal
release
Alex
Pandian
getting
thumbs
down
from
critics
and
audience,
Kanna
Laddu
Thinna
Aasaiya
is
eagerly
awaited
by
Tamil
audience
hoping
that
the
film
would
be
the
perfect
film
to
enjoy
in
during
the
festive
time.
Being
the
first
production
of
Santhanam,
the
most
sought
after
comedian
in
Tamil
film
industry,
people
are
expecting
nothing
but
a
complete
fun
entertainer
from
the
Handmade
Films.
With
the
names
of
Srinivasan,
VTV
Ganesh
in
the
cast,
the
audience
are
looking
out
for
a
fun-filled
flick,
which
could
tickle
the
funny
bones.
Has
it
lived
up
to
their
expectations?
Read
on
for
the
review...
Kanna
Laddu
Thinna
Aasaiya
is
about
three
men
who
try
to
woo
a
woman
-
like
in
the
original
story
Indru
Poi
Naalai
Vaa.
But
the
treatment
is
different
in
the
Santhanam's
film.
The
basic
knot
of
both
the
films
sound
similar
but
the
story
and
screenplay
are
completely
different.
The
three
careless
friends
-
Santhanam,
and
Sethu
love
the
same
girl
played
by
Vishakha
Singh.
Their
tricks
to
impress
her
to
win
her
heart
is
the
crux
of
the
story.

Review
The
story
is
not
new
and
it
is
old
wine
in
new
bottle.
However,
the
film
is
an
out
and
out
comedy
entertainer.
The
first
half
of
the
film
is
brilliant
and
second
half
is
full
of
fun.

Kanna
Laddu
Thinna
Aasaiya
Santhanam
is
hilariously
brilliant
in
Kanna
Laddu
Thinna
Aasaiya.
His
mannerism
and
one-liners
get
full
marks
once
again.
He
is
well
supported
by
the
Power
Star,
as
he
is
simply
excellent.
It
has
to
be
mentioned
here
about
his
introductory
scene
which
takes
audience
by
storm.
And
also
Sethu
is
good.

Laddu

Aasaiya
Thanks
to
director
Manikandan,
who
has
taken
the
best
out
of
all
three
of
them.
In
fact,
Santhanam
and
the
Power
Star's
performances
remain
biggest
strength
of
the
film.
Kanna
Laddu
Thinna
Aasaiya
Vishaka
is
okay
and
supporting
cast
like
VTV
Ganesh,
Kovai
Sarala,
and
others
have
done
justice.
Last
but
not
least,
Gautham
Menon
and
Simbu
have
done
guest
appearance.
Kanna
Laddu
Thinna
Aasaiya
S
Thaman's
music
is
okay
and
'Love
letter...'
and
'Potti...'
are
our
picks
and
Balasubramaniem's
cinematography
is
apt.
Rest
other
departs
have
done
justice.
Finally,
the
director
has
to
be
praised
for
churning
out
a
humorous
film.
Kanna
Laddu
Thinna
Aasaiya
Verdict:
Kanna
Laddu
Thinna
Aasaiya
is
a
fun
ride.
