There's
no
denying
the
fact
that
the
much-loved
Jyothika
is
one
of
the
finest
performers
in
the
Tamil
film
industry.
In
2015,
the
actress
began
her
'second
innings'
with
36
Vayadhinile
and
proved
her
mettle
as
a
performer.
Since
then,
she
has
further
cemented
her
position
in
the
industry
by
doing
performance-oriented
films.
With
her
latest
release
Kaatrin
Mozhi,
Jyothika
has
continued
her
tryst
with
female-centric
films
and
proved
once
again
that
she
is
still
the
queen
of
hearts.
Kaaatrin
Mozhi
is
a
remake
of
the
Bollywood
hit
Tumhari
Sulu
and
it
stays
faithful
to
the
original
version.
Kaatrin
Mozhi
revolves
around
a
Chennai-based
housewife,
who
decides
to
become
an
RJ
and
realises
her
dreams.
The
basic
storyline
is
quite
relatable
and
it
is
bound
to
click
big
time
with
those
who
come
from
a
middle-class
background.
The
impact
of
this
relatable
storyline
is
enhanced
further
because
of
some
effective
writing.
The
screenplay
relies
more
on
'showing'
than
'telling'
and
this
makes
it
easy
for
the
fans
to
relate
with
the
situations
depicted.
The
screenplay
also
does
the
decent
job
of
highlighting
the
challenges
of
day-to-day
life.
Jyothika
is
clearly
the
heart
and
soul
of
Kaatrin
Mozhi.
Her
character
is
not
a
simple
one,
as
it
has
several
layers
to
it.
However,
she
manages
to
essay
it
with
effortless
ease.
In
fact,
it
can
even
be
said
that
she
lives
the
character.
Lakshmi
Manchu
too
delivers
a
solid
performance
that
keeps
the
audience
hooked.
Her
confident
body
language
adds
a
new
dimension
to
her
performance
and
makes
it
even
more
enjoyable.
Vidhaarth
is
decent.
However,
as
this
is
a
Jyothika
show
all
the
way,
he
is
unable
to
make
much
of
an
impact.
MS
Bhaskar
and
Kumaravel
too
have
essayed
their
respective
roles
with
utmost
sincerity
and
support
Jyothika
quite
well.
Similarly,
STR's
cameo
too
comes
across
as
an
absolute
delight
for
his
fans.
Radha
Mohan's
direction
is
top
notch.
He
has
treated
the
film
in
a
sensitive
and
intelligent
manner.
As
such,
it
stays
true
to
life
but
never
gets
boring.
AH
Haneef's
tunes
are
hummable
and
they
gel
well
with
the
on-screen
action.
The
other
technical
departments
too
have
been
handled
well.
However,
the
overall
film
could
have
been
a
bit
shorter.
Kaatrin
Mozhi
is
a
pretty
well-made
film
that
manages
to
strike
the
right
notes.
