Prabu Solman comes up with another gripping tale. A feel good love story, KAYAL
is technically a sound film backed up by excellent visuals, soothing
and melodoius music and above all solid performances from the lead pair
who all are making their debut. Set against the backdrop of the 2004
Tsunami in the Indian Ocean, Kayal tells the story of Aaron and Kayal
and how they fall for each other.
The film begins with the Tsunami where Aaron is a survivor of that calamity and gradually takes us to the incidents that unfold a few days before the tragic Tsunami waves happen in Kanyakumari. Aaron and Socrates are childhood friends who are tourist visiting various places accidentally becomes part of an eloping act by two couples on the eve of the girl's marriage but the fortune makes Aaron meet his girl there.
Screenplay till the half way mark is too good but post intermission does not have the same momentum that was shown in the beginning. But with a strong and good climax, Prabu Solomon regain form and finish the film on a high. So we can say the director has a hatrick of victories in Mynaa, Kumki and Kayal.
The three main actors are Chandran, Anandhi and Vincent who all are newbies portraying the characters of Aaron, Kayal and Socrates respectively. Performance wise all three have done the job that is expected and it is more than appreciable since they are all into their first performance on the big screen. Rest of the supporting casts were also equally good.
Technical side stands out. With good visuals to back helped by nice cinematography,
So overall, Kayal is a beautiful romantic film that won't disappoint you. Barring a few glitches in the second half, the rest of the narrative doesn't disappoint making Kayal a one time watchable love story. I go with three out of five as my personal rating for the film. Not a bad start for my first film of the new year and hoping for the trend to remain and continue in the long run.
Rating - 3 / 5
