Kayal Review

Cast: Chandran, Ananthi, Vincent, Devarajan, Florent Pereira, HarathyDirection: Prabu SolomonGenre: RomanceDuration: 2 hours 19 minutes
Synopsis: Two friends are mistaken to have helped a couple elope and held captive by the girl's family. There, one of them falls in love with the servant girl. When they finally depart, the girl, who develops feelings for the guy, goes looking for him. Are they destined to meet again?
Movie Review: When Aaron, the hero of Kayal is introduced, we hear in the background the song Enge En Jeevane from Uyarndha Ullam. The song is playing on the radio, which Socrates, Aaron's friend is listening to. This song not only gives Prabu Solomon an opportunity to include the mandatory Ilaiyaraaja song, but also serves to tells us what the film is going to be about — two madly-in-love characters searching for each other. Later, when Aaron enters the palatial mansion where Kayal works, what do we hear? The very same song!
This kind of romanticism runs throughout Kayal and this is the film's strength and its weakness. Aaron and Socrates are not the typical youngsters we see today. They do not want to save money but save memories instead and so work six months and then, with the money they have earned, they travel the length and breadth of the country, eager for new experiences. We empathize with them even more when we are told why they are so.
