Director: Selvamani Selvaraj
Cast: Dulquer Salmaan, Samuthirakani, Bhagyashri Borse, Rana Daggubati
Kaantha is a film that mixes many genres very well. It has the fear and tension of a horror movie, the curiosity of a suspense film, and the excitement of a thriller. At the same time, it tells a strong emotional story about people and their lives.
The film is set in the past, and the sets and locations look beautiful. Every place feels carefully made. Director Selvamani Selvaraj has sclupted each scene with great attention, so the story moves smoothly from beginning to end.
The story flows naturally until the police investigation begins. At that point, the pace slows a little. But soon, the police part joins the main story again and fits well into the overall flow.
All the actors perform very well. The set tells the story. The place tells the story. The people tells the story. Rana Daggubati as Inspector Devaraj “Phoenix”, Ravindra Vijay as Martin Prabhakaran, Gayathrie Shankar as Devi, Mahadevan’s wife, Nizhalgal Ravi as Sivalingam Mudaliar, Devi’s father, Bagavathi Perumal as Constable Kaathu, Vaiyapuri as Selvam, Tamizhselvi as Rani, Bijesh Nagesh as Babu and all other actors build the world of Kaantha and support the main story of fame, ambition, and mystery.
Samuthirakani as TPK “Ayya”, the strict mentor and filmmaker who found and shaped Mahadevan’s journey. He shows deep emotions through his face and body language, without speaking too much. The loss, the betrayal, his knoweldge, his flaw of human nature expressed without any hindrance.
Dulquer Salmaan as Thiruchengode Kalidasa Mahadevan “TKM”, the superstar actor acts with honesty and calm strength, showing ambition, fear, and confusion clearly.
Bhagyashri Borse as Kumari gives a natural and emotional performance that feels real. She performs as a girl born to act.
The actors often show emotions instead of saying them, which makes the film more powerful. The dialogues are short, sharp, and meaningful.
The music supports the story and never becomes too loud or distracting. It helps the emotions instead of controlling them.
The most important part of Kaantha is its message. The film shows how many people do not live the life they want. Instead, their lives are sclupted or controlled by parents, society, or powerful people. It talks about dreams, identity, and the different masks people wear to survive.
Kaantha is a special film. You may start watching it for the suspense, light horror, or the historical setting, but you will remember it for the strong acting and meaningful story.
