Does
love exist? Director Velu Prabhakaran
tries to question what is perhaps
one of the first emotions that
was felt by man. True love is
only a myth, he seems to be
reasoning; there is no such
thing as true love. It only
serves the purpose of misleading
youngsters away from their goals
in life, wasting away their
youth in the quest for something
that is not there at all. Love
is just a passing emotion, it
happens today, disappears tomorrow

surface again another day and at another
time, the subject may be a completely different
person. Love that succeeds may be the first,
second or third. It does not matter. That
is what the director has tried to say here.
Many years ago, there is said to have been
a love affair between the director and the
late Silk Smitha which ultimately failed.
The director has reportedly inserted a few
elements from this story of his life into
the movie.
The director has also voiced a few strong
opinions about the Indian way of looking
at certain things that are considered normal
in other parts of the world. Why worry about
what another person wears or does, why can’t
people carry on with their own business?
Director Velu Prabhakaran has always known
to be controversial and outspoken in his
opinions and even this film of his ran into
trouble with the censor board for its visually
explicit content. It is after a long battle
and a re-shoot of certain scenes that he
has finally managed to get the clearance.
Having such strong and radical views about
life and love, lets see whether Kadhal kadhai
has any impact on the audience. The film
stars Rathan, Shirley Das and Preethi. Music
has been scored by Ilayaraja. |
