R ARIVANANTHAM
Director Raajaselvam’s narratives are simple and realistic in Karthick Singa starrer-Kodai. Though the director has not tried anything new and fancy, the script with twist and turns are positive as well as drawback of the movie.
Debutant actress Ananya Lakshmi shines in the little time she gets on the screens with the hero Karthick Singa. Love/romance songs on the back drop of Kodaikkanal is awesome.
Actor Marimuthu performs well as an informer to Rajarathinam, who plays the role of don who cheats people as financier.
Rest of the supporting actors, including Robo Shankar, have all done their part well.
Arjunan Karthick’s camerawork is awesome with the back drop of lush green Kodaikkanal hills. Subash Kavi’s bgm is one of the major strengths of the movie.
