A
failure, but an interesting failure. Kathir’s
film about an intense young man (Richard)
and his two great passions in life- cinema
and love –feels personal. Kadhal Virus
borrows some elements from Devdas, and some
from Nenjil Oru Aalayam. Kathir's intentions
are earnest but the script, unfortunately,
is half-baked, and parts of the movie are
corny and over-the-top melodramatic. What
still comes through in the movie is an artist
conflicted between the devotion to his art
and his yearning for the woman he loves.
