Movie Review : Oru Naal Oru Kanavu

Producer: Lakshmi Movie Makers
Director: Fazil
Cast: Srikanth, Sonia Agarwal
Music: Ilayaraja

 
Good time is around. Director Fazil has made it again. ‘Oru Naal Oru Kanavu’ is not just a feel-good love story but also a film with a theme. The film looks realistic and straightforward. It’s good that he tries to divert the attention of the audience from action, thriller movies and films filled with item numbers. His honest display, Ilayaraja’s melodious tunes and great performance from the actors are the plus points of the film. 

In the film, Maya Devi (Sonia Aggarwal), a college student admires a hardworking and cheerful guy Cheenu (Srikanth). She tries to catch his attention quite a few times and challenges him to fall in love with her. But he hates her arrogance and aggressive nature. But at last he decides to take revenge by pretending that he loves her.
 
Maya soon comes to know that Cheenu does all types of odd jobs to support his family of three sisters and parents. But she decides to live with them in a small house of happy family.  But Maya’s dad falls sick. So Cheeru accompanies her to her home where he is shocked to see the richness of her family. He realizes that Maya stays in his house just for want of love and care. Witnessing her simplicity, he begins to love her. But her brothers drive him away.

So, Cheeru comes back home and tells the whole story to his mom who advises him to forget her. He obeys his mother and tries to become wealthier than Maya. Will Cheeru achieve his aim? What happens to Maya who has left everything in search of a happy life? Will they reunite in the end? You will have to watch to know more exciting twists and turns.

Hero of the film Cheeru has done a very good job in the film. The director is able to bring into light the hidden talent of the actor. Sonia looks pretty in the film and her performance is splendid. Indeed it is her best performance so far.

 

The credit of making such a lovable film goes to director Fazil. He has made a beautiful film out of a simple story. He has a good idea of human mind and has made use of it. He has made this film when everyone is talking of action, comedy, villains and thriller movies.  Yet he is able to catch the feelings of the audience. Fazil deserves all the accolades and praises. 

Ilayaraja's music is another asset of the film. The music and songs are melodious. Songs like the "Kaatril Varum Geetham"... sung by Hariharan, Shreya Ghoshal, Bhavatharini, Ilayaraja and Sadhana Sargam, and "Konjam Thira"... sung by Sonu Nigam and Shreya Ghosal are captivating. The melody of the song has a lasting value.

The flip side of the film is that, it is entirely shot in Kochin which is very familiar to the audience. It failed to provide the audience with new locales and scenery. In spite of this, the film is good-hearted. It presents human goodness beautifully and also has a good theme. In a nutshell, it’s a must watch film.
