kadal maybe not mani sir' s typical movie, but its worth to watch. i really njoy it from the casting till the music. thumps up
verdict: with a beautiful story and an imaginative screenplay, kadali is a breathtaking film topped with fine performances which convey a range of emotions; the film weaves a number of immensely watchable scenes .
on the other hand, distributors of' kadal' are facing a hard time booking theaters as most of them have' vishwaroopam' running at big screens .

the film has an intelligent story, a multi - layered screenplay, excellent cinematography and powerful performances .
made at a small budget of 6 crores, the film achieved widespread critical acclaim and commercial success .
will undoubtedly end up being one of the best indian films of 2013. the cinematography, the music, and the performances by veterans and debuting actors alike are all fantastic. this is a film that just wasn' t quite as good as the sum of its parts, in spite of the impressive pedigrees of those parts. this may be a film i warm up to on repeated viewings. after the initial experience, however, i can' t help feeling that it was compromised .
the audio composed by oscar award winner has impressed the audience and has created more hype on kadal. the film has seven songs and' adiye',' nenjukkulle',' moongil thottam' and' anbin vaasale' have got thumbs up from tamil audience .
“kadal” pulled me out the established comfort zone and yes i didn’t like that experience. one goes to watch a mani ratnam film expecting “excitement” but this film is devoid of it. i felt ratnam could have lingered more on thoma’s spiritual crisis after he sides with bergmans. nevertheless, i will watch it again as i could not easily put away this film! there is something in it, which is hard to place and makes me want to watch it again! !
mani ratnam’s kadal hasn’t turned out to be a profitable experience for any of the stakeholders concerned. the movie has also been receiving mixed reviews from day 1. and with vishwaroopam practically cornering all the theaters, kadal is left in the lurch with just a handful of theaters despite this being just the second week of its run .
kadal is not a perfect storm, but it’s far from a sinking proposition. it floats comfortably midstream, coasting along on the strength of attractive actors and visuals .
the biggest drawback of kadal is that mani ratnam was never able to get me hooked into his tale. drawing parallels with mythology and archetypes would increase curiosity only if i was engaged to the script in the first place. i think that is where kadal was a epic let down. i was appalled by the visuals of “adiye”

who is this condescending
filmmaker
hiding behind a pseudonym and pontificating as to who should be qualified to review a film? it is people’s prerogative to talk, write, discuss about a film once it is released in theaters. by the way, tom & jerry is a work of sheer brilliance. by equating the flamboyant cartoon series with “kadal, ” the
filmmaker
is inadvertently admitting that the film is also brilliant - - contrary to what he wanted to say .
kadal was not a glamorous film to shoot. “it' s a hard film set in a hard landscape. most of the film had to look barren initially, so we had to pull up and accentuate the sand by muting the colours of the costume to show the boy grow up in a hostile environment. manappad, near tiruchendur, where we shot most of the film, is a lot like spain or portugal. it doesn' t have much of vegetation and there are big churches. so we focussed on breaking the sky with the crucifix since there are no trees. ”
i come to this place as a ritual to see how like minded kadal belivers like me muse. . great insight from br, kutty and others…. reverse crusifixion man that is good… br more stuff for your next interview with mr… i am glad mr is back in tamil. . ravanna and kadal is a new mani fr tamil cinema…
tamil filmmaker mani ratnam is maintaining a low key profile for his forthcoming film kadal as he wants to keep the details of the shooting of the movie a secret. the director has already released the first look of the movie, but it does not show any actor clearly .

kadal was shot on 35mm, and not only for sentimental reasons. “one reason is the film’s ability to take a battering—the cameras are so solid, ” menon explains. “the horizon blows out in digital camerawork, it becomes white and the sea and the sky become one. ”
karthik' s son gautham and samantha are playing the lead roles in the movie kadal, which was previously titled pookkadai. others like arjun, aravind swamy and pasupathy are in the supporting cast. the film is expected to hit the screen by the end of the year 2012 .
as for the film, it was a good watch. i being a mani ratnam fan, have to say that it was a good effort by the film - maker. the camera and the music were excellent .
couldn’t agree with you more… the film needs some time to digest. . if you overlook the details then the film doesn’t make sense as what people have been syaing in almost all reviews! i really enjoyed it !
so if mani ratnam wasn’t wielding the megaphone, arjun would not have played the antagonist in kadal? “exactly, if it hadn’t been a director i was confident about i would not have gone ahead. the character is one that wishes his wrongs had been forgiven. i loved my role in kadal. ” despite unique casting and his brilliant performance, kadal hasn’t exactly set the box office on fire. “that’s something i feel sad about. it should have done much better. yet accolades continue to come my way. ”
all the songs marked their position in the top ten songs category on itunes. this made kadal' s soundtrack enter into number one soundtrack album of india by december 2012 .
mani ratnam’s 2013 box office disaster and regarded as one of his “not so great films” (i also thought that 4 years ago) watched it again after his new film kaatru veliyidai, just to see if i could warm up to it a little more. and i did. kadal is a biblically inspired tale set in the backdrop of the lives of christian fishermen in southern tamil nadu, ratnam seems to be asking some questions throughout the film… when faced with the

speaking to the times of india, ratnam' s wife suhasini denied the reports, saying :
