It's more than just a cricket movie.

As I already mentioned in the title - this is another level cricket film that also gives you some social messages about our Indian society. All I can say is - watch this film because of its mind blowing strong plot and brilliant acting by the artistes.
A movie with a big heart & bigger message

An entertaining movie, really well made. Great performance from all the lead actors, especially Aishwarya Rajesh.
With better editing it would be a great movie, gets bogged down a bit at times.
Liked the way it deftly manages into weave multiple social messages into the narrative. Very nuanced treatment, gets a lot of details clear. Many memorable scenes which leave a lasting impact.

Liked this movie only for Aishwarya Rajesh. Such a matured acting. Arun tried soo hard to match and manage between cricket and farming but failed miserably. Cricket portion came out soo good. Hero doesn't know acting but managed. Comedy portion is also pretty convincing.
Everything was good until SK entered the movie. After that it suddenly changed to a frustrating SK mass action movie. While watching movie, I even forgot this guy is doing a cameo. Movie was soo interesting. And suddenly he appeared. Whole thing went into trash. Full of message, motivation dialogues, talking about his personal problems and spoiled the mood.
Each and every ball of final match is soo predictable. She takes an hat trick off first 3 balls. Hits 6 in first ball. Ball hits helmet additional 5 runs. Oh my god so much drama.
In winning speech, Aishwarya is delivering a speech and SK is delivering a separate speech to teammates. She win 5L cash prize and she says this bank only offered me a loan so take this money back to repay the loan. Wait... What??? That money belongs to whole team. How can she take the decision to offer it back to bank. Entire team should agree to it. Full dramatic ending.
Whole movie runs on the shoulder of Aishwarya Rajesh and she delivered it best. Just watch it for chellakutty.

Beautiful Film

Very less movies comes out which makes the viewers stop everything and think for sometime. Kanaa is such a film which portrays farmer pain, daughter struggle. Though Aishwarya Rajesh has been worked for 24 films in past, many people doesn't recognise her work in and outside Tamil Film Industry. Kanaa is a film which gets best out of her. She has been perfect choice and impressed so many people with her performance. Satya Raj is so special all through the film and her relationship with his daughter is so lovable to watch.
Strong acting

Not so interesting although it could've been
saru202023 December 2018
Delivering a message to the masses about our dying agriculture along with the highly popular sport like Cricket that too in country like India is a top notch idea for sure but was it delivered perfectly?
Not upto the expectations would be my personal opinion.
The plot revolves around the dream of a village girl who wants to play in the international cricket team to fulfill her dad's wish/challenge who's a die hard cricket fan.
The story was very straight forward like Dangal, although not exactly. There were several opportunities to make the plot very much interesting by playing with the emotions of the characters, and the match scenes could've been made way more interesting by adding some more twists and turns but very less seems to have been explored and shown.
Movies like these usually makes us/audiences rush internally aka pump the blood through the veins at least in the final match aka the climax scene but this movie failed to do that as well.
The diaogues were good but not good enough for the kind of message the girl delivers in the climax as it needed a heavy stroking one (I can easily relate/remember this with the before interval scene in the movie Aruvi)
Sports drama well presented
shyammukundan6 January 2019
"Kanaa" (dream) Tamil movie.
This is the story of Kawsallya, the village belle, her teammates call her Kausi.
Murukeshan, the farmer, Kausi's father ... his obsession with cricket and inspiring his daughter to be a world class cricketer... is the theme of the movie. Reminded of "1983" the Malayalam movie based of cricket ... in 1983 that father inspired his son to be a good cricketer and get selected to the team, here ... this father takes the story further ahead.
Very inspiring sports-drama, told in a thrilling manner.
Father-daughter relationship depicted against the village background, theirs problems ... how orthodox villagers fail to accept a female cricketer, lack of practice grounds and facilities, stigma of playing cricket with boys, the national cricket board hurdles, their North Indian lobby, politics.... God.... the canvas is huge.
Well captured pictures to give excellent cricket shots, to give a vivid picture. Hats off to camera work.
Music is handled with care, the first song sung by Aaradana Shivakarthikeyan is catchy and elevated the pitch of the movie.
Even though, story strayed off from the mainstream with unwanted repeated sentiments, the Director held his ground with the audience, well.
The cherry on the cake, is the strong social message about agriculture and the urgent need for more social support for it. This is addressed well in this presentation.
8 on 10 for this 190 minutes of cricket drama. Aiswarya Rajesh proved once again, she's a mature heroine. Shivakarthikeyan deserves a salute for selecting such a unique plot and infusing mass thrilling moments and making a 'female-centric' project ... a grand success.

This is a must watch movie. The cast and crew has given their 100%. Superb work by Arunraja, SivaKarthikeyan & Team. "Kanaa" is emotional, inspiring, motivational & gives a powerful message. A debut project that's definitely gonna bag many awards. Kudos Team Kanaa
Inspiring movie!!!

Review By Kamal K
This Aishwarya Rajesh film is about a girl who dreams of making her father smile. She decides that the best way to do it is to play her father's favourite sport, cricket, and win.
Aishwarya Rajesh as Kousalya is a masterstroke. She scores well in both the emotional scenes as well as the cricketing scenes. Sathyaraj, Darshan, Munishkanth and other supporting actors too impress with impactful performances.
The first half and journey of Kousalya and her relationship with her father was the most engaging, while the Sivakarthikeyan looked great as the chip on his should mentor the second half and arc was not as engaging. Still a good and entertaining watch.

Drama is awesome ! Everyone had given their best which made the movie to milestone. Especially childhood characters are the strong enough for rapid first half... Siva done his best to continue the another half ... A. Rajesh have proven once again that she can deliver more than top heroine's in Tamil industry...
Finally movie's is for cricket and women's motivation not sure why director decided to change the scope towards agri and farmers...
However granted to have tears in climax...
Nice plot twist in entire movie

Excellent portrayal of two of India's wealths. Cricket and Farming in the backdrop of human realities of poverty and aspirations. Job well done. Kudos to the movie makers and actors for an excellent effort. Art that offers the much needed reminder to life in its raw form.
