Kalavani - Review

Kalavani is a watchable entertainer with some boring portions in the first half.

Vimal(I think this is the hero's real name) has done a decent job. Heroine reminds Subramaniyapuram Swathi. Actually after reading some reviews, i thought the movie would be on par with films like Nadodigal, Subramaniyapuram etc. But the movie was very normal.

The biggest strength of the movie is the humor content in it. The story is very ordinary and one would've seen such stories in 80's and 90's films. It is just about the happenings of a person in a village, who is aimless in his life. But due to some decent comedy scenes, even such a wafer thin story makes you sit and watch the film completely. Most of the scenes in the movie were quite natural and not cinematic. This is another strength of the film.

In terms of music "Damma Damma" song is humble. Other songs and BGM were quite disappointing. Ganja Karupu's comedy is enjoyable. Saranya did her part well.

Over all, the movie is quite entertaining. If the director had concentrated on the first half and worked with a better technical team, then the movie would've been even better.

My rating : 3/5
