About Kadhal Ondru Kanden Tamil Short Film:
Sponsored short film from shortfundly OTT:
Kadhal Onru Kanden is two out of ten stories of people living around us. Written & Directed by Punith.
Storyline:
In this 21st century which is still an unsafe place for women murders and acid attacks on them for rejecting a proposal from a guy are becoming more common. Kadhal ondru kanden too revolves around this issue. The short film begins on a happy note with love and bike racing between friends. The real storyline unfolds when Gautham throws acid on Jenifer for rejecting his proposal stating her engagement with Mathew who turns out to be the inspector of police in the same station as Gautham’s father. Unlike many other short films and movies which show only the pain of the victim’s family, this short film has well depicted the pain of the convict’s family in losing a family member though they stand by the law in punishing him for the crime.
Direction:
By making each and every scene the same way as it occurs in reality, the director has definitely made justice to the storyline. Hurting the person you love just because they don’t love you back gives nothing but sufferings to both of them. The point is well brought out to the audience. Apart from love and pain, the short film spreads social awareness on the cruelty of acid attack. The short film once again proves that true love is being with our partner in their tough times. The short film conveys the harsh truth that the victim is not the only person affected in an attack.
Dialogue:
Dialogues are the biggest strength of this Kadhal Ondru Kanden short film. The whole short film stands by the dialogue of each character. Dialogues have conveyed the emotions of the characters more strongly. Among all sub inspector’s dialogues are more emotional as it conveys something emotions that are seldom shown in movies and short films. Throughout the short film, dialogues act as a mode to convey emotions and subtitles make way for a better reach among the non-Tamil audience.
Screenplay:
The screenplay has a major role in making the Kadhal Ondru Kanden short film successful. Dealing with a well-known storyline audience tends to get bored very easily and the curiosity in knowing what’s about to happen will be less than short films with a fresh storyline. However, in this case, a brilliant screenplay makes the audience love the short film even with a common storyline. Kahal ondru kanden entertains and creates awareness among the people with its beautiful dialogues and gripping screenplay.
As a story of a disciplined cop-college professor-street bike racer does some magic in a way of commercialism in this film. Mathew (Ashwin Kumar) is an obedient, charming protagonist of the film. Having transferred to Chennai, he has been the Inspector of the station where Gowtham’s (Rio Raj) father (Charle) is being a Sub-Inspector. An instant clash between the duo, Jeni (aka) Jenifer (Nakshtra Nagesh) being engaged to Mathew and childhood friend Gowtham is a little detectable story.
A piece of news we are able to read alternate days or alternate weeks about an acid attack is the baseline of the film. Let go, let live is the strongest message the film’s film strived to convey to today’s young generation. Ashwin steals the shows with his charms the same as applicable to Nakshtra with her cuteness. Little shots she has been overactive. Whereas Rio Raj has given his entire potential in the film to project himself as a true antagonist. A place where we feel pity for Mathew’s distraught life is due to the annoyance we have had on Gowtham’s impotent behavioral effect on Jenifer.
I have no words to appreciate Charle. He just proves himself as a complete actor in a single scene and we cannot easily forget his image after the end of the film. If you are an aspiring filmmaker, need to make a full-length short film or pilot film, go and watch Kadhal Ondru Kanden without a second thought. You can learn a lot from their making.
Kanna Veesi is a breezy love song, makes you tap your feet for its melodious song. Siddhu Kumar, Composer and Back Ground Composer of the film is a second show-stealer. A circumstance where a saying of ‘You can watch this film just enough for this song’ has another example including this film. Lyrics – Vignesh Ramakrishna and Vocals – Rahul, Srinisha Jayaseelan must be given a special mention in the film.
Punith has well-executed his commercial making with little assumptions of crafted writing. The opening scene of the protagonist’s home is large and lively. Voidness of his life is described in a big home with occupancy no-people around him. An acid-attack scene in the church expresses the team’s utmost effort, well-handled cinematography, eccentric edit work of this film. Although with the philosophy of “Nowadays No God can stop the evil, No God can protect the female on this earth.” Vishnu Subhash eliminated the dust and dirt of the atmosphere they shot the film and elevated the colorful on the entire screen we watch throughout the film with his Cinematography work. Can a short film have an Art Department? … has the answer to the name Martin Titus in this film. In the Climax portion of the empty godown, coffee shop, home everything is projected beautifully by his work.
The right teaching of love, sex, arrogance at the right age is given only by the parents is the lesson from Kadhal Onru Kanden. Director Punith has the potential to grab the commercial audience in a split second to the big screen. Gowtham’s self-obsessed decision has spoiled a million lives like Jenifer and Mathew is the harsh reality of the film. Big predictability of the love triangle is a large problem in the film. Apart from this, KOK is a decent colorful romantic drama that wrenches your heart at the end.
