Behind the Screens:

Kaadhali is one small film which has made so much of buzz in the recent times due to the promotions by celebrities like Rana, Samantha, Ram Charan and KTR. The audience is waiting to see if the promotions and buzz are really worth it or not. Let us see how the movie is??

Story-line:

Bandhavi (Pooja K Doshi) is a beautiful doctor for whom her parents seek a suitable man. But all their efforts end up in vain. Bandhavi decides to love someone and get married. She loves two men one after the other and both of them have peculiar characters. Karthik (Harish Kalyan) has this habit of leaving the house whenever he is happy or angry. Kranthi (Sai Ronak) is an angry young man. Both of them love Bandhavi honestly but had to go away from her due to their own weaknesses. What happens next between the three forms the rest of the story.

Performances:

Pooja K Doshi is disappointing in a character which is the heart of the film. She struggled with her expressions and lip sync. Both the heroes – Harish Kalyan and Sai Ronak did an okay job but since the movie movies mostly around Pooja, the end result is not great. Sudarshan managed some laughs. Rest of the characters are just okay.

Analysis:

Director Pattabhi R Chilukuri got okay marks in his debut. He handled few characters well. The story is a triangular love story in which the girl struggles to choose between the two. We have seen many films with the same story. Treatment is very routine. Movie moves at a slow pace testing the patience of the audience. The entire story is finished in the first half as well. The director to make up for the run time just stuffed the second half with the songs which are again disappointing. Even the climax is very pale. 

Technical Values:

Prasan Praveen Shyam 's music is good. Songs are also good and Vanamali’s lyrics are impressive. The Placement of songs is very bad. Cinematographer added extra odd colors. Senior Editor Marthand K Venkatesh should have done a better job in the second half. Production Values are rich.

Final Verdict:

Kaadhali is a triangular love story. Skip this routine stuff, if you can
