Kannum Kannum Kollaiyadithaal (KKK), Tamil Movie

Creative liberties that result in some truly warm moments and a fairly satisfying movie

A few weeks ago I had the privilege of watching Stanley Kubrick's Eyes Wide Shut. In a very important sequence, Kubrick Used Carnatic fusion and the singer sang "Ithu Naragama" in Tamil, when translated, signifies Hell. Nothing could have been more apt to describe the particular sequence, but I was just wondering, how the hell did Kubrick think of depicting the sequence in a language he probably never understood. The creativity knocked me out.

KKK is no Eyes Wide shut, but I had a smile when, 'Chura Liya hai tumne jo Dil Ko' (Yadon Ki Baraat) played at an opportune time, I could not resist the smile. But when " Chaudvin Ka Chand Ya Futaab Ho"( Chaudvin Ka Chand) was used, I could not resist laughing and I was just blown away. Both the songs literally sounded infinitely better.  Then there is a sequence, that I am afraid, I am not going to spill, which again has a reference to another movie, is a perfect icing on the cake.

Part Con and part heist, I am not sure, why the reference to  'Thiruda Thiruda" keeps coming up. I think, Thiruda Thiruda was very different.

While the first half is pretty predictable, the second half is neatly made, with some tense moments.  

Despite its limitations, this is a breezy clean entertainer, almost without any violence.

I thought there are also important takeaways as a professional. In a flat world, for a person who is desirous of learning there are really no limitations.

I think it is a privilege that the gifted, Dulquer is doing his 25th film for a Tamil film. Dulquer breezes through the role as only he can. We love you Dulquer Salmaan and look forward to a great future as well.

I love GVM's role and the way it has been written. I hope to see more of GVM.

Desing Periyasamy, the writer and director is a talent to watch. He has a lot of fun making the film and so do we watching the same.

Keep it up Desing!!

While it is expected to stream on Netflix, this is worth catching on the big screen with family and friends.

P.S:

Just in case you feel like seeing some good con movies after watching KKK, you may want to catch up with Dirty Rotten scoundrels and Matchstick men or see them again just for the fun of it.!!!
