Kanaa Kanden
Yesterday I watched the Tamil film Kanaa Kanden starring Srikanth, Prithviraj and Gopika. Prithviraj, in his first Tamil film, plays the role of the villain named Madan, whose only aim in life is to make money. He is a moneylender-cum-deal-settler, and uses forgery and modern techniques efficiently to make money. Srikanth plays the role of a PhD scholar named Bhaskar, who invents a method to purify water. He doesn't want to commercialize his invention, and wants to do "service to poor people". Madan agrees to help Bhaskar to build a water-purification plant, but he has his own plans in his mind.
Kanaa Kanden is the directorial debut of cinematographer KV Anand, and I think he has succeeded in making a watchable film. Prithviraj's performance in the film is interesting. It is the first film of Srikanth I am seeing, and he seemed to be ok. Gopika looks cute, but in most of the film, all she has to do is to cry "Bhaskar.. Bhaskar" etc. Vivek takes care of the comedy track typical of commercial Tamil films. Songs are not memorable, and actually there is nothing really memorable in the whole film.

Hi Ratheesh,
I had seen the movie some six months back when it released and what had interested me was the way Prithviraj did the villain role. He did the role of sophisticated villain to perfection. Though he has been giving flops after flops in malayalam, I still have a great hope in him. He can become a true successor to the superstar league after Mamooty and Mohan lal, but he has to select movies with much more care. I used to like his father Sukumaran for his tough looks and dialogue diction. He has got both that and with a little care and a good director he will shine.
Dear Ratheesh,
I had liked prithviraj for his acting in this movie, considering it was new grounds for him in Tamil.
I think that he has a bright future among current youngsters in malayalam cinema, in terms of natural acting talents.
He also brought out the the natural villan in him thru this film, and it is evident that he has got ample genes of his father Sukumaran. Sukumaran has performed brilliantly in many such similar "smooth villain" type roles in malayalam

Hi Unnikrishnan,
I agree with you.
I too like Sukumaran's inimitable acting and dialogue delivery style. His angry-arrogant roles had made him a straight fit for some of the brilliant MT films like Varikkuzhi.
I think Prithviraj and Indrajit have inherited it, and hope they get good films to prove themselves.
Regards
Ratheesh
