R. Parthiepan's Kathai ThiraiKadhai Vasanam Iyakkam is sometimes outlandish, sometimes quirky but mostly refreshing and gravely irreverent. Parthiepan, as a writer-director, has made a splendid comeback after a series of duds. His inimitable command over wordplay is an absolute delight to watch.

Plot :

Thamizh (Santhosh ) is a highly talented, yet struggling director, waiting for his big break. His stories are very well appreciated, but that's the end of the story. However, he has an understanding wife Daksha (Akhila), who agrees to marry Thamizh and also earn for the family, until he finds his feet firm on cine ground.

Along with Thamizh are Arvind (Dinesh), Shirley (Sahithya), Murali (Vijay Ram) and most Seenu (Thambi Ramaiah) who all are waiting for their big day in the cine industry, as the extraordinary talents themselves. And they set out to think and think every day on how and what is the story. They are battered for money, Thamizh's life is twisted out of shape, many a misunderstanding crop up, but there seems to be no end to this tunnel where they want to lock the right story that is both unique and appealing to everyone.

In the effort to make an impressive movie for the audience, the team works relentlessly towards a script that should impress a big producer and earn them the ticket to fame. After all, is the impressive story ever realised? There lies the gripping mystery that Parthiepan leaves us to relish and expand our very own creativity on.

Cast :

KTVI boasts of almost unheard number of short cameos from well-known faces. Amidst them, real cast of film is almost entirely newcomers. They have done reasonably well and fit in as aspiring filmmakers.

The lead pair are fine with their limitations. Among them, Vijay Ram as Murali manages to catch our attention with his spontaneity in humour.

Thambi Ramaiah steals the show and is the man in form in KTVI.

Technical Team :

Sudharshan's editing deserves a mention as it is the pillar of the movie and is bang on his job. RajaRathinam has done a commendable job as cinematographer. He deserves to be lauded for his spetacular camera and angles, including right hues for each scene setting the mood right in every frame. Sathya's bg score neatly accentuates the movie forward.

Analysis :

The winning formula of this movie is proper understanding of audience's psychology. The film, as touted, has a very bleak thread of story, but stands super strong on screenplay and Parthiepan's matchless narration.

Diaogues are the major reason for the enjoyable first half. We also get some interesting information about the Tamil Film Industry and how it works.

Verdict : Thoroughly entertaining along the lines of uncertainity.

Rating : 3.25 / 5
