After
having worked under director Venkat Prabhu,
Sripathi Rangasamy makes his first independent
directorial outing in Kanimozhi produced
by T Siva of Amma Creations and Sona Heyden
of Uniq Productions. The film had raised
a lot of expectations, primarily due to
its name and the grand audio release function
under the aegis of Chief Minister of Tamil
Nadu.

Director
Rangasamy has chosen the ubiquitous theme for his
first film which is- you may have guessed by now-
LOVE- which has been milked dry by our film makers
from time to time. In Kanimozhi, he has attempted
to portray the two different approaches of love and
its culmination (success?) through Jai and Vijay Vasanth.
Jai is the typical cheerful student who specializes
in Viscom and spends his life like any other student
of his age. Shahazn Padamsee is the cute girl who
lives in the same area, who he decides to fall in
love with, after a few customary meetings, strictly
adhering to the already laid down syllabi of our films.
But, he is not forthright about conveying his love
to the girl and is in the process of mustering courage
to do this.
On the other side, there is Vijay Vasanth from a different
camp in the area, who after having bowled over by
Padamsee, decides to get her. The approach he adopts
is different from that of Jai’s. A simple lie
from him lets his parents approach the girl’s
side to seek her hand in marriage with their son.
What happens after this? Who gets the girl in the
end, Jai or Vijay Vasanth, is what Kanimozhi is all
about.
For Jai, it is just another film in his career and
there is nothing more to say. Same thing holds good
for Vijay Vasanth too. About the heroine, you wonder
why she was chosen at all, as the lady does not seem
to know the spelling of emotion in any scene. Swathi
of Subramaniapuram appears in a small cameo towards
the climax.
Music by Satish Chakravarthy is good especially the
Muzhu Madhi number. But his effort goes in vain as
Rangasamy has not utilized it to the optimum levels
and therefore is not impactful. Cinematography appears
bleached through out and there is no clear differentiation
between the times of the day. Night and day merge
uniformly.
Director Rangasamy had the golden opportunity to do
his first film under a prestigious banner like Amma
creations and his intentions would have been honest
but unfortunately he has not exploited it completely
to deliver a good product. Screen play fails to engage
the viewer and is ineffective. There is no exciting
storyline. Kanimozhi falters and ends up as a soul-less
affair.
Verdict: Disappointing
