Kadal - movie review

     Coming from the Mani Ratnam banner, I started watching this movie with lots of expectations - good story line, catchy music, hero/heroine being lookable/likeable etc etc.  
      Story is alright, the motto being 'truth alone triumphs' which is very noble.  After watching this movie I am starting to think Aravind Swamy and Arjun are the real hero and villain respectively.  Gautham Karthik is just a person of circumstance; drawn into the influence of the former first then the latter.  His convictions seem to be un-crystallized, which is probably because of his troubled or non-existent childhood.  The heroine Thulasi looks good and exhibits very promising talent; her costumes look a trifle incongruous and in most frames she wears white.  It struck me that she smiles and giggles a bit too much and found out towards the end that this was in fact intended.  The local dialect and way of life is well depicted.  Overall a good movie.
