Very nice village based story. After dharmadurai movie director seenu ramasamy GIVEN another feel good movie. Tammana acting is very good and natural.

Village life, Nice Climax twist

The pace of the movie goes in such a way that if immersed in the movie, the audience would just feel like having lived a village life. The overall speed of the movie could've been improved though. The final twist in the movie was really nice and unexpected.

Nice attempt!

This film commenced with good plot by discussing the problems of farmers and corresponding reactions in banking sector. Later instead of giving solutions to the agricultural field the story focused on other issues.

Not a Good Movie. Everybody acted very well in the movie. Songs and BGM in the movie were worst. The movie was not at all interesting and thrilling at 1st half because the movie had no story in 1st half. The movie was interesting and thrilling at 2nd half. Not a Good Movie.

Beautiful film

Kanne Kalaimaane Review

[Magow-Intermean · 29 March 2019]

Romance blooms between a farmer and the manager of a cooperative bank. What happens next? The first hour or so of Seenu Ramasamy's Kanne Kalaimaane often feels like an understated attempt at propping up the image of its leading man, Udhayanidhi Stalin. The actor plays Kamalakannan, a farmer who is into organic farming. He is a dutiful son, who will not do anything against his father (Poo Ram, solid) or grandmother's (Vadivukkarasi, dependable) wishes. He makes the right noises about issues, like farmer suicides and NEET. He is also a do-gooder, who often takes loans for the sake of the poor in his village. It is this quality of his that gets him into trouble with Bharathi (Tamannaah, who does her best, though her lines lack the natural flow and sound rehearsed), the new manager of the local cooperative bank. Bharathi, who mistakes Kamalakannan for a wilful defaulter initially, learns of his good side, and gradually, the two fall in love. But will Kamalakannan's family, especially his grandmother, accept a girl who isn't from their community?

For almost two-thirds of Kanne Kalaimaane, there is hardly any significant conflict, so the film largely feels like an amiable drama about genial characters. Be it in the romance or the social commentary, there is a low-key vibe to the proceedings. This is both a plus and a minus. While it is refreshing to have a film that is content to narrate a few events from the lives of its characters, after a point, the film seems to be going nowhere. The script clearly lacks the depth of this director's previous films, so the scenes aren't as impactful as they should have been.

For a while, the director tries to make an antagonist out of the grandmother, but these portions come dangerously close to resembling TV serials. It is only in the last half an hour that a proper conflict is introduced, but even this feels all too sudden with not much foreshadowing that it becomes difficult for us to buy into it.

If the film manages to keep us engaged, it is mainly because of the niceness of its characters and the feel-good moments. Some of the scenes do strike a chord - like the conversation between Kamalakannan and Bharathi before they inform their families of their romance, the portions involving Muthulakshmi (Vasundhara, lively), Kamalakannan's friend, the scenes between Bharathi and Kamalakannan's father. And Yuvan Shankar Raja's background score manages to lend some emotional heft.
