It is not everyday you see women lining up in front of a theatre at 8 in
the morning. Certainly not in Chennai. But Vetri, a-not-so-fancy
theatre at Chrompet, in the suburbs of Chennai - was teeming with an
unusually large crowd, mostly made up of women. Mani Ratnam's latest
venture O Kaadhal Kanmani hitting the screens today had brought them to
the theatres on an otherwise ordinary morning.
From peppy to mellifluous, Rahman has belted out numbers that makes OKK a complete if not perfect romance.
Fans might not go berserk like they do with a Rajini flick nor stay up all night to catch up with an Ajith release, but Mani Ratnam commands a loyalty of his own among the fans. This time the fans feel they have not been let down.
On a scorching day in summer, all Chennai needs is a breezy romance they can soak into. And Mani Ratnam has dished it out, in style.
For many who have watched the movie on day one, Mani Ratnam has made a
spectacular comeback after a couple of dud films. Dulquer Salman and
Nithya Menen are said to have come up with some brilliant performances
as a new-age couple in a live-in relationship. For Mani Ratnam himself,
the film is a throwback to his usual turf of romance - something that he
has always done with ease and finesse.
His Mauna Raagam in 1986 enjoys a cult status among romances in Tamil
cinema. In 2000, he came up with another brilliant and refreshing Alai
Payuthe on life after marriage for lovers. Though touted as an upgraded
version of Alai Payuthe, OKK viewers say, is a breezy romance with
moments of its own.
Needless to speak of the tracks that A R Rahman has come up with for his mentor. It was Mani Ratnam who introduced Rahman to movies through his movie Roja in 1992.
Fans might not go berserk like they do with a Rajini flick nor stay up all night to catch up with an Ajith release, but Mani Ratnam commands a loyalty of his own among the fans. This time the fans feel they have not been let down.
