Film Review: Tamil: Feb 28, 2020
“Kannum Kannum Kollaiyadithaal”- Shortly, KKK
It is a definite entertainer. Its story line embraces many Hollywood films on Con Artist-cum-Romance (“Entrapment” paired double with “Focus”), thus ending up as an “Oceans Four” literally.
- It could have been a typical Sivakarthikeyan film, but with boyish Dulquer Salman, relying on a dependant comedian friend, one with a mind voice.
- It could have been a typical Gautam Vasudev Menon Film (GVM) with almost every second dialog in English, also involving a Police Thread. Directed by a fresh name, Desing Periyasamy.
The two young males con artists surprise with tricks
(orders in online portals, receiving outside the delivery point, returning quoting flimsy reasons, after replacing essential integrals, with old spares to sell originals in black market, using skimmers to copy car locks and robbing, to running a real car on remote as in 007 style etc) fall for two other cons, young gals (pals from an orphanage), without knowing that girls are also con artists.
Gautam Vasudev Menon comes in throughout the film, as Police SP, who tracks actually the girls (for a reason revealed at the end), while the boys think that they are in police trap. Such surprises and twists are the ones that make this film an entertainer.
The film moves from Chennai to Goa and finally to Delhi, with the four con artists and the DSP also travels to all these places.
The drone shots of the locales are excellent and music is so subtle that one totally misses it. One song sounds familiar though. Probably from Promos.
The heroine is straight out of model line up for “Colgate” ad and makes little impression than her companion.
It is a definite family entertainer, though kids will need a lot of explanation on con ideas.
Totally, fun.
