| What happens when a teenage girl coming from a happy and loving family falls in love with an ordinary guy? Her heartbeats, trauma and travails that she undergoes and the pain and humiliation that she brings to her parents is the theme of Kanna. Director Anand has come out with a sweet movie with a nice message that shows how an adolescent mind due to immaturity falls to infatuation. However the trouble with the film is that it moves at snail pace, and is made like a mushy television serial. The story is set in Coimbatore, where Reghunath (Prakash Raj) is an MD of a software company who is having a happy life with his family compromising of his loving wife (Seeta), a son and the apple of his eye daughter Anapoorni (Sheela) a class 10th student in a convent. One day Poorni goes on a botanical study tour with her class to Ootty along with an effeminate teacher Aashirwadam (Livingstone) and a lady teacher (Sona Nair). In Ootty , Poorni stays in a palace like guest house where the staff are named (by the director) after famous writers Shakespeare and O.Henry leading to some funny situations. She meets Kanna (Raja) a florist who soon becomes their guide during the study tour, a love-hate relationship develops between them which leads to the twist in the tale. After coming back from Ooty, Poorni realizes that she is hopelessly in love and in a moment of madness forgets everything about her loving parents and go in search of Raja! It becomes predictable and sentimental towards the climax. Raja as the smooth talking florist is a welcome addition to Tamil films. He looks dashing and has the making of a romantic hero. Prakash Raj is striking especially the scene in the police station where he goes to complain about his missing daughter and breaks down. Livingstone in a comedy role with Sona Nair raises a few laughs. Ranjith Barot’s music is good especially the first song Kuyil Paadum Pattu in the mellifluous voice of Shreya Ghosal. The camera of Ootty locales by Tajmal is eye-catching. Verdict: Mushy |
