'Kanaa Kanden' is directed by National award winner K
V Anand. This is his maiden directorial venture. The movie
has a good plot and is entertaining from the word go. Anand
deserves credit for apt casting and a fine screenplay.
Story:
Bhaskar (Srikanth) a research scholar in the University
submits a thesis on conversion of sea water into potable
water. He bails out Archana (Gopika) a childhood friend from
a marriage that she does not like. Bhaskar is forced to bring
her
 to
Chennai where they live together. But slowly both of them
reveal their deep love for each other which they were never
able to express for years and they get married. Bhaskar
becomes successful in his research to make pure water and he
gets a doctorate for it. Bhaskar refuses to sell off his
technology to private firms since he wants it to solve the
water scarcity of the country and hence tries to give a
proposal to the government. Archana's college-mate is Madan (Prithiviraj)
a business consultant. Madan offers financial help to Bhaskar
for setting up the desalination plant and gets some papers
signed. Later on Madan's evil designs surface when he uses
the signed papers to hijack the project. A battle of wits and
brawn takes place and all this leads to a dark and potent
twist in the tale and a chilling climax, with Bhaskar finally
emerging as the winner.
Performance:
Srikanth has given a good performance. His on-screen
chemistry with Gopika is good. Gopika is totally at ease and
has performed equally well. Prithiviraj gives a mind-blowing
performance. Vivek fails to evoke any laughter. Amitha in the
cameo role as Professor is impressive.
Music:
Vidhyasagar's music is a plus point. Songs are already a hit.
Verdict:
Above Average.
