Oh My Kadavule: All is fair in love

Director Ashwath Marimuthu’s maiden venture is a different rom-com backed by string writing. Interestingly all characters have a say in the story. It speaks more about love and friendship and dares the cliches in Tamil cinema. The movie revolves around Ashok Selvan, Ritika Singh and Vani Bhojan. And there is Vijay Sethupathi and Ramesh Thilak in extended cameos. Friends become a couple and enters the boy’s ex-crush. Trouble begins and God comes with a different plan.

What’s Good?

  • Ashok Selvan who acted in serious roles before dons a different character. He does a good act as a bubbly youngster. Romance comes naturally for him.
  • Ritika Singh steals the show with her expressions.
  • Vani Bhojan makes a comfortable debut on the big screen.
  • Vijay Sethupathi and Ramesh Thilak’s cameo appearances are enjoyable, they get quite repetitive as the story progresses.
  • Leon James’s songs are foot-tapping.

Overview

The pace at which it progresses is a lacunae. Also, few dialogues are stretched. But overall, Oh My Kadavule may be slow-paced but still enjoyable for it is feel-good and entertaining.
