Review: O Kadhal Kanmani

Originally posted elsewhere on 16th April 2015

Disclaimer: I'm an unqualified reviewer. For a list of people who are qualified to write about OK Kanamani, please consult Suhasini Maniratnam

Despite how old you've gotten watching Mani Ratnam, the excitement of watching his next never diminishes. Especially, when the movie works - part experience and part nostalgia. OK Kanmani is as simple as Mani Ratnam gets and as profound as any of his classic films on love. No non-linear timelines, no metaphors, no value judgements and no message, just a straight love story from the Mani Ratnam we thought we'd lost.

Yes, OK Kanmani is going to be branded by many as an update on 'Alaipayuthe'. While there's superficial merits to parallels, any such comparison is missing a larger point. OK Kanmani is an affirmation that love endures anything, even the age of instant gratification, fleeting relationships and self-centered ambitions. A reassurance that love, like an stubborn virus evolves and trumps even the most testing environments.

Many filmmakers find the divisions in an ever-changing India. Mani Ratnam finds his in the grind between a conservative past and the liberal ideas of the present. O Kadhal Kanmani balances a society that holds its nose to anything unconventional against the attitudes of millennials for whom living together is a convenience and signing up for a commitment is a shallow formality - an after-thought.

Aadi (Dulquer Salman) and Tara (Nithya Menen) rush into an open relationship and a live-in arrangement with no intent of settling down. Her architect scholarship's about to take her to Paris; his gaming-dev skills have currency in the US. Can their casual, time-boxed courtship fall turn into a commitment they both dread and declare taboo? Sounds very time-worn and ripe for sentimental pickings. Mani Ratnam, of course, dresses it up with his unwavering sense of aesthetics and his insane level of insight into the Gen Y's mind.

For multitudes of us, falling in love or cherishing the feeling of love is a brief high, a phase of life that we leave behind, in our rush to get on with the challenges and rigours our life; not for Mani Ratnam. He is that rare director who can lead you back into that corner of your heart that once used to throb with the excitement of living the moments of love. His comfort with dealing a romance can give any young or even semi-seasoned (uh hmm, GVM) director a complex.

Mani Ratnam's been repeating his rule on casting for decades now - "50% of the film is casting". Although, at times we've felt he doesn't follow his own advice. Not with OKK. There are four primary characters and each one of them pivots the story with maturity and confidence. Prakash Raj, Nithya Menen & Dulquer (in that order) light up the screen with such familiarity and freshness, like regular folks plucked from their living rooms, their pajamas still on. Prakash Raj's hamming could have been a major problem 'cause he shoulders a sizable portion of the movie and is the emotional core of OKK. He's in a league of his own here - a completely winsome performer.

Rahman's presence in a Mani Ratnam film cannot be anything along expected lines. As with all Mani Ratnamm movies, none of the songs you've heard going into the movie remain the same (shortened, remixed and reimagined) and there's the on-screen-exclusive thukda songs that are used aplenty here too. Waiting to get my hands on the background classical-funky fusion track (Kalyani's theme), in particular.

As if to mock folks calling out Mani's pattern of using of trains and stations, almost every scene features a loco compartment. The opening scene, staged on the platforms of Mumbai's CS terminus is a kicker, Mani goes one better on his usually impressive starting sequence. Mani and PC Sriram put on a show that reminds us why people still whistle to title cards bearing their names. Same with the rain too - no shying away from them, plenty of emotions drained and drenched under it. The MR-PC combination pulls off magical moments on screen that should lay to rest any claims to "next Mani Ratnam" or "next PC Sriram".

OK Kanmani

Bollywood Movies Part CLXXXV: The Mollywood Takeover Part XXVII

Ten year old Vicky (Sidharth) goes to his grandparents’ home in Kerala to attend his grandfather’s (Thilakan) funeral. As the sixteen day funeral observances proceed, tensions rise between the various family members, even as Vicky befriends his cousins Kannan (Rejosh) and Manikutty (Arathi Sasikumar) and Roja (Vyjayanthi), the girl who works there and longs to return her mother.

Manjadikuru is a lovely film about childhood, while also dealing with familial issues and grief. It is wonderfully made and really inhabits its setting of Kerala in the 1980s. Each of the family members has their own story fleshed out without distracting from the focus of the film. All of the child actors were good, but Vyjayanthi was outstanding in her role. Favorite songs are Manchaadipenne Vaadi (no subtitles), Chaadi Chaadi (no subtitles), and Maargazhi Manjil (English subtitles). 

Stammering Shekhar (Dulquer Salmaan) falls in love with blind dancer Radhika (Dhansika), but their families have objections. Justin (Anson Paul) is rescued by veterinarian Trilok (Dulquer Salmaan) after a car crash and discovers that the woman (Arthi Venkatesh) whose death he was involved in four years earlier was Trilok’s wife. Siva (Dulquer Salmaan) raises his brother Siddhu (Rohan Manoj) after their mother (Asha Jayaram) after their mother leaves them with their abusive father (Peethambaram Menon). When their father is killed, Siva tracks down his killer, Mumbai crime lord Vishnu (Prakash Belawadi), and Siddhu tags along. Lt. Rudra Ramachandran (Dulquer Salmaan) and Akshara (Neha Sharma) are madly in love, but they are separated when Akshara is sent to Australia for college. After not communicating for four years, Akshara is about to marry Alok (Manit Joura), and Rudra goes to the engagement to fight him like he did with all of Akshara’s other suitors. 

Solo is an anthology based on the various facets of Shiva and the elements associated with them. I liked all four stories for their merits, but my favorites are World of Shekhar and World of Shiva. Solo really highlights Dulquer Salmaan’s acting abilities as it showcases him as the main character in each story. Favorite songs are Oru Vanchi Paattu, You (audio only), Aal Ayaal, and Sita Kalyanam. Only You has subtitles, but they are wrong.

When Savitri (Keerthy Suresh) is found in a coma, Madhuravani (Samantha Akkineni) is assigned to write an article about her. As Madhuravani delves into Savitri’s turbulent past, she learns of Savitri’s rise to fame in Tamil and Telugu cinema, her initially secret marriage to Gemini Ganesan (Dulquer Salmaan), her alcoholism, and her philanthropy.

Mahanati is a good biopic that could have been better. While it does a good job portraying Savitri’s rise and her marriage, it glosses over her financial troubles and health problems in her later life. Additionally, it begins with a mystery as its premise to get Madhuravani interested in Savitri, and then it never solves the mystery. I did enjoy how they remade scenes from Savitri’s movies and the film was true to the period. Keerthy Suresh is amazing as Savitri and is really the star of the film. Favorite songs are Aagipo Baalyama, Mooga Manasulu, and Gelupuleni Samaram. None of the songs have subtitles.

"Unnodu naan irundha ovvoru mani thuliyum marana padukkaiyilum marakadhu kanmaniye!" ( Every single moment that I spent with you, will not be forgotten even in my death bed darling! ) #22yearsofIRUVAR ❤️❤️❤️ In what was one of the finest ever Indian movies made, we got to see an ensemble cast being mastered by an extraordinary #ManiRatnam with the support of some beautiful black and white frames from #SantoshSivan, traditional and out of the world music from maestro #ARRahman, poetic dialogues from #Suhasini and #Vairamuthu and some crisp and long cuts from #SureshUrs, all combining to give us a never seen before cinematic experience, a treasure ever since then and surely for the ages to come. Inspired from the life of #MGR and #Karunanidhi, #ManiRatnam spoke a cinematic language that is still alien to major chunk of the mainstream audience. In what was one of the best ever casting decisions, #Mohanlal just lived out as #Anandan, from a man of nothing to the most powerful man in #TamilNadu. International critics have called him the #MarlonBrando of Indian Cinema, but only we know who he really is. #PrakashRaj, in a national award winning performance was equally brilliant and nuanced as Tamizhselvan. #AishwaryaRai in her debut outing, #Nassar, #Tabu, #Gautami, #Revathi and #DelhiGanesh were apt castings and delivered powerful performances. Santosh Sivan's composition and use of natural lighting in static interiors and extraordinary deep focus cinematography gave him a National award and his work in Iruvar is still a study material for students of Cinema. Ar Rahman used some retro tunes fitting to the 50s and 60s, evergreen tracks that still makes me high. The editing of Suresh Urs and the production design by the late #SamirChanda were also commendable. I was just one month old when #Iruvar released. I wish the movie released in times of now so that I would've been able to experience it fully from the theatres. Still thanks a ton Mani Sir for giving us your Magnum opus which is truly a landmark in Indian Cinema ❤️. #Iruvar #22yearsofIruvar #ManiRatnam #ArRahman #goodfilmsmakeyourlifebetter #cinephiletales #ambivertdreamer212 #beingakash212 https://www.instagram.com/p/Bsm0mwgBOtX/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=5p5mqdtkf9oq
