Kadhalum Kadandhu Pogum


An intermittently well mannered rowdy/Adiyal. A beautiful girl who's jobless. Their lives crossover.

The girl comes to chennai with an offer letter, she's loses her job, gets lost in the world of unemployment, she's vulnerable with none to care.

He's just being himself, the rowdy with a heart. Frank to the core,  a lover extempore. A man with more of wisdom, less of muscling his way out of a fight. When given a chance he turns provider of comforts to one and all.

He dreams of being a bar owner and she's looking for a job for ever. He's just there every time she returns from a failed interview. He provides solace without expecting a return. Her head is turned....

But things maybe aren't meant to be as cliched as one is used to...he helps her all he can to make it into the world of monotony called employment. She succeeds. He goes savage on a assignment to kill his employer's nemesis and doesn't return for long. The sparks of love are diffused by passage of time before they come into contact with one another

Thus,

vazhkayil idai vidatha katru varum,
vazhkaiyum thodarndhu pogum , Kadhalum kadandu pogum, Un idhayathai kavarndhu pogum,  vazhkay enbadhai unarthi pogum,
Kadhalum kadandhu pogum!

Above was An effort to summarize.

The humour elements are perfectly interlaced to give the required laughter bits. The lead cast have emoted well enough to convey the varied sentiments. Vijay Sethupathi plays his role to perfection, Madonna sizzles her way into her first Tamil film. Others do their believable character roles well enough. The director delivers again, helped by the actors and a well written script except for the climax written to address Tamil audience. Definitely worth a watch.
