      Audience Member Sometimes the first impressions are so wrong! The director, Nalan Kumarasamy's second directional film. His First, 'Soodhu Kavvum' was a massive hit and now back with this retaining the same lead actor. I did not remember the original Korean film this one was based on, but while watching it, I remembered some of the parts. I think the directed did well, because it is not easy to keep up to the original standards. And as usual Vijay Sethupathi did not disappoint me. The Madonna Sebatian's Tamil debut film and she was wonderful. This story was told from her perspective, well mostly, particularly in the first half. The story of an engineering graduate who comes to the regional capital, Chennai, seeking a job in an IT company. As she struggles to get one in this competitive world, meets her new neighbour, a thug who often bumps each other and needlessly have quarrels. But later everything softens between them, because the two are struggling in their life somewhat similarly. So one another, they comfort each other during tough times, till one day when things forever changes in their life. For Kollywood and its fans, this is an extraordinary piece. But for the international viewers, I'm sure you would have seen such films, even though it is worth a watch. The young filmmaker changing the Kollywood landscape. Soon film like this will become mainstream films and the big actor films would turn into the parallel films. Simple story, yet many interesting stuff happens. Todays condition of IT professionals were highlighted quite factfully. It was more a friendship kind of film, but there are enough fun. So I definitely recommended it to everyone, especially if you know the language, don't miss it. 8/10 Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/30/23 Full Review Audience Member A typical love, life story of two people that stand apart from regular film story Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/16/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating

      Gautaman Bhaskaran Hindustan Times Kadhalum Kadanthu Pogum is often predictable and ponderous, though there are some interesting shots that lift the narrative. Rated: 3/5 Jan 16, 2024 Full Review M Suganth The Times of India When the filmmaking — full of breezy visuals (which are made more cheerful by the appearance of rain at crucial points), smooth segues, and expressive musical notes — is so understated and tasteful, what’s there to complain? Rated: 3.5/5 Jan 16, 2024 Full Review Baradwaj Rangan The Hindu A letdown, but not a lazy one... Jan 16, 2024 Full Review Ashutosh Mohan Film Companion A remake of South Korean film My Dear Desperado, Kadhalum Kadandhu Pogum is a mature romantic story. But for all its swagger in Santhosh Narayanan's Pangali, the film ends as a soft tragedy. Jan 16, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews
