Director Vignesh Shivan’s most recent intimate comedy Kaathuvaakula Rendu Kadhal is a finish misfire. It offers very minor but demands lots of generosity from the viewers to forgive Vignesh’s collection of miscalculations in what appears to be to be a rush job of a film.

Ranjankudi Anbarasu Murugesa Boopathy Oohoondhiran aka Rambo (Vijay Sethupathi) is a chick magnet. Why? Basic, simply because he’s bad but variety-hearted. He lacks attraction but he’s compassionate. And earlier mentioned all, he can fight to secure the honour and respect of girls. He’s the most cliched model of a mainstream hero, who will not survive the true-earth ailments if he’s remaining by yourself.

Rambo is confident that he has been cursed. He is touted as a manifestation of poor luck. In simple fact, undesirable luck is his superpower. The fans are aching to go on a jolly bike experience, the school little ones are operating late for exams. And these people simply cannot go about their company as it is raining cats and canine. So Rambo decides to phase up and help you save the working day. By only stepping outdoors and gazing at the sky, the rain comes to a full prevent. He someway has managed to hack into the consciousness of the cosmic and manipulate it at his whim.

It requires a large amount of large-heartedness to invest in into the premise of this movie. Soon after a several obnoxious twists and turns, narrated through chaotically stitched scenes that deficiency any creativity, literary or comedic worth, Rambo finds Kanmani Ganguly (Nayanthara) and Khatija Begum (Samantha Ruth Prabhu) all set to destroy or be killed for his enjoy. Equally women seek the defense of Rambo as they are deprived of a improved possibility. Vignesh sort of generates the Rambo-is-the-previous-man-alive-in-the-globe circumstance. And these ladies close up using the bait.

There is no chemistry among Rambo, Kanmani and Khatija . It’s unclear why either Kanmani or Khatija would would like to be locked in a romanceless relationship with Rambo. He simply cannot even look into the eyes of these girls effectively while talking with them. And he’s incredibly bad at romance or romantic gestures that sweep a lady off her toes. And nevertheless, Kanmani and Khatija compete versus every single other for Rambo’s passion.

Kaathuvaakula Rendu Kadhal is Vignesh’s wishful dream about a Sumaar Moonji Kumar becoming a chick magnet. Sumaar Moonji Kumar, this means an normal Joe, is the title of the character played by Vijay Sethupathi in Idharkuthane Aasaipattai Balakumara (2013). He experienced played the function of a stalker in the film. But, he was passed off as harmless since he’s funny. Kumar is in appreciate with a woman who is out of his league and he can not just take a hint, even when the woman he’s crushing on enlists the services of goons to beat him up so he would prevent troubling her.

Vignesh has dreamt up a entirely mindless romantic comedy all over the concept of what if Sumaar Moonji Kumar results in being so irresistible that the most good searching, robust and self-reliant women blindly dedicate themselves to his whims? That’s all there is to this movie.

This film has been built to attraction to the lowest prevalent denominator as it expects us to crack up at double entendre dialogues like, “Ona kalyanam panitan ena panitan (he married you and slept with me).” Or clownish discussion about which is greater in between almonds and pistachios, allegories for relationship and intercourse respectively.

There are only a couple of scenes which have some level of pleasurable humour. And people scenes have Redin Kingsley in them. Specifically, in the scene when he issues his captor’s judgement on throwing away petrol on him. And it strikes a chord supplied the costs of gasoline are skyrocketing.

The latent character of grownup comedy in this motion picture is a massive transform off. This film aims to perform into the wild fantasies of a lovelorn gentleman by subtly sexualising the foremost ladies. But, it’s neither clean humour nor an outright adult comedy. It is a mess. The main explanation is Vignesh’s indecisiveness. He would like to preserve the film risk-free for men and women to check out it with relatives. And at the exact same time, sprinkle it with just adequate double which means dialogues and scenes so that individuals get the trace. It also desires to be a mix of director C. S. Amudhan’s Thamizh Padam, a spoof movie, and Vignesh’s 2015 strike Naanum Rowdy Dhaan.

You simply cannot have it each ways.
