Tamil film industry usually carries forth with a difficult experiment of making a horrormovie. Sometimes, they succeed, but not to the core due to some clichés. Then came someextraordinary films like 'Eeram', 'Yaavarum Nalam' and 'Ananthapurathu Veedu'. Thoughthe fearsome experience of the onscreen characters likely seemed to us like a funny moment,we haven't earlier experience a horror film that had substantial element of humour.
Fine! Our take on 'Kanchana' is that it is entertaining in parts, but caters mainly tothe centres of B and C, which of course has a success mark ahead. The film offers goodentertainment carrying the elements that are necessary to keep the audiences fixed to thescreens. To be precise, there are very few sequences that might turn us slightly down, but98% of the film is completely engaging.
We have some tips out for you before watching 'Kanchana'. Yes, keep yourselves brimmedwith least expectations and you will enjoy the film completely.
The film opens with a vacant land being strangely focussed and causing a kind of disturbanceto the people around. Then enters Raghava (Raghava Lawrence), a person with phobia forthe ghosts as it was in 'Muni' and is still accompanied by his mother (Kovai Sarala) to thebathroom during night times… His brother (Sriman) and wife (Deva Darshini) are alwayssupportive to him and care him like a child for his fear for ghosts.
However, mystery starts haunting their home that turns out to be a thrilling experience forthe audience with some funny encounters as well.
Starting off with the analysis, the film has some best performances from the actors. SupremeStar Sarath Kumar enthrals with a surprising acting during penultimate sequences of thefilm. Raghava Lawrence has worked a lot on his part for we can witness a sort of maturity inhis performance. Lakshmi Rai has nothing to perform as she appears in skimpy costumesand has nothing more to score there. Kovai Sarala is a special surprise for her role becomesone of the major attraction.
On the whole, 'Kanchana' is a good entertainment for B and C centres and it can be watchedonce.
