Years back, the audiences were brimmed with more elatedness to catch a glimpse on film show that depicted the tales set at the backdrops of crossroads. Perhaps, as later when filmmakers drew more adherences towards Westernization motifs, that arena was completely diminished. But again, there drew a great inspiration of these themes from contemporary filmmakers Ameer, Bala, Sasi Kumar and now Raja Mohan.

Kunguma Poovum Konjum Puraavum has soul-swamping poignant tale of glistering vistas. The tale is so simple and yet more substantially carried through about a young guy and gal across village falling in love. But again, what would really strike your mind after the show is that why all films based on nativity has a negative climax.

Kuchelan (Ramakrishnan) happens to be hailing from a middle class family in a village. There arrives Tulasi (Darshana) in his town to her granny’s house once she’s abandoned by her parents. As this young boy and girl develop a good friendship, it naturally turns into a love affair. Once on his way to tour, his mother gets to notice his creative designing of a marriage invitation card. Though not a serious issue, his arrogant mother makes it so. She drags Tulasi onto the centre of Village, humiliates her terribly by cutting her hairs. Unbearable to this insult, the girl moves away to another village, where she’s urged by her close relatives to marry Dharma who’s fit-for-nothing. Rest of the story is about the further proceedings of what happens when the both of them meet again.

Ramakrishna underplays his role at certain extents where he fails to emote well to the appealing situations. But, he has come up with a commendable show on his debut film while Tulasi does her part blissfully. The one who enacts the role of Dharma as a member of Kamal Haasan Fans’ Club Association steals the show. Well, rest of the star-casts has lived under the skin of their characterization.

Musical score by Yuvan Shankar Raja is awesome! Especially the melodic numbers ‘Oru Ooril’ and ‘Chinna Chinna’ wins applause for the best tunes. As well Srikanth’s cinematography furthermore embellishes the film with rich colours. Editing could’ve been yet more precisely sharper.

Getting on with narration, Raja Mohan carries the first half with more humorous and lively parts while the latter part is so serious that many wouldn’t watch enjoying it. The biggest flaw of this filmmaker is that he shouldn’t have commenced the film with a flashback thus revealing the climax. On the pars, there are certain dialogues that wouldn’t be easily perceived by City Audiences.

On the whole, ‘Kunguma Poovum Konjum Puraavum’ is a film that will be well received by audiences if they’re watching such genre of nativity for the first time. Fine! For the rest, it’s a clichéd film with average credits.

Bottom – Line: Substantially for small groups

Verdict :Watch it for bold attempt
