A film to relish like a good cup of coffee - says the producer

Watched a Prakashraj Production for the first time - kaNda naaL mudhal. Was pretty impressed with the promos and expected a decent movie from Maniratnam's assistant Priya.

Prasanna(Krishna) - Hez just spectacular. If you find the adjective too much, can't help it. Coz I had 0% expectations on this guy, had not watched a single movie of his and the way hez performed on big screen..Wow!! He steals the show and is definitely the centre of attraction. His voice reminds me of someone else's, but am unable to catch who? He excels in projecting himself as an appavi guy and in comedy. And his periya muzhi favours it :) I was ROTFL for the entire Mayajaal sequence. Though he needs to improve a lot in the serious scenes where he looks slightly confused with his expressions. He is a big plus to the movie and Tamil film industry as well.

Laila(Ramya) - She is cute. She shouts. She fights. She wears beautiful outfits. She irriates by delivering dialogues like "En iruttum nee, en velichamum nee, en sandhoshamum nee, en dhukkamum nee, en half-um nee, en quarter-um nee". One scene I liked was when she tries to speak to her parents about her sister's love while her parents think shez so eager about getting married. The quick change of emotions on her face is commendable.

Karthik(Arvindh) - He has been given a sopLaangi role in the movie, under the cover of a cool dude, business magnate living in the US. A person with a wavering mind and who can't think anything by himself. He still sticks to "I would have said itz rrrridicuuuuulous" Alaipaayudhey kinda role and heavy accent. Heard his 'Evam' plays are really good. Why this vibareedha aasai for him to act in movies? Didn't even know he has acted in yet another movie 'Vaanam vasappadum' till a few days back.
Btw, is it true that he got married to Mirchi Suchi??

Devadarshini is as usual the hero's sister. Revathi(Laila's mom) isn't appealing. Lakshmi(Karthik's mom) with an out of place jet black wig, speaks Madras tamizh (pesikine, poyikine) every now and then for no good reason. The opening scene where kutty Laila kadichifies kutty Prasanna's kannam, though cute, has been exaggerated. Endha kalyaaNathula kutty pasanga sandaya theethu vekka oru periya gumbaley varum??? Dubbing is a complete let down - totally out of sync in most places.

Loved 2 songs "Merke Merke" and "Pani thuLi". Both are catchy, especially the former, the entire theatre sings "Lai Lai Lai Lai Lai" with Shankar Mahadevan. Title track "KaNda naaL mudhalaai kaadhal perugudhadi" has been sung very well but doesn't at all suit Laila. Yuvan is worth a good round of applause here. However the beginning of the song "Pushing it hard" reminds me of "kanavugaL pookum aaNdugaL thodangum" from 'April Maadhathil'

Confusions of India
===============
1. Why is Laila's father so worried about the non-functioning of his hearing aid when his wife is in ICU?
2. The company that Karthik owns is in Chennai, doesn't look that posh to have a branch in USA, then what the hell is he doing there?
3. Why is Laila angry when her sister's lover calls her Rami akka?
