Kaadal is perhaps one of the most touching love failures to have played out on screen over the past decade. Caste and status issues getting in the way of love is nothing new to Tamil cinema, such themes release every weekend. But, Kaadal stood out because it all happened like a bolt from the blue, just when we thought that everything was going to be fine. It is also the film that made Bharath a star and Sandhya a promising new entrant into Kollywood.
