OK Kanmani: Maniratnam-ARRahman-PC Sreeram

[madhus369]

A very soft movie from MR. Probably the movie with the least 'heaviness' in the plot. The only earlier fluff I can think of is probably 'Thiruda Thiruda'. That being said, wonderfully made movie. The simplicity of the plot makes MR weave his magic and regain his rightful place in Tamil cinema. He is probably the only classy intellectual in Tamil cinema that has maintained it over the last few decades, in spite of the misadventures up north.

With such a small budget, quick production and release, this movie should set him on the right path to becoming the leader at least in Tamil movies. Trying to combine Hindi and Tamil sentiments rarely works and Mani has quite a few wounds to vouch for that. Hoping to see more of Mani in Tamil. Those guys in north don't deserve him anyway. They can have their Khans and Kapoors.

And, while on the movie, what a find as the lead pair.... Both Dulquer and Nithya are wonderful! Hope the tamil movie directors use Nithya in more roles, in spite of her non-standard-imported-actress look. One can only hope...
