Sam(Aravind Swami) and Bergman(Arjun) were friends at one point of time during their Priesthood training at the Seminary but due to certain issues had to part ways. Sam comes down to this fishermen area to settle down as a Priest. Meanwhile, Sam strikes a good bonding with Thomas, for whom he has a soft corner. Thomas falls in love with Beatrice(Thulasi) who is the daughter of Bergman. From then on things take a twist and what happens thereafter is what Kadal is all about.<\/p>\n<p>Kadal is a visually brilliant film as it is sheer poetry in motion. The cinematography is top-notch while Mani Ratnam&#8217;s direction is also very good. Gautam makes a fine debut while Thulasi&#8217;s role doesn&#8217;t give her much scope to perform except look cute which she does. Arjun performs really well but the highlight of Kadal is Aravind Swami who is absolutely terrific. He is a delight to watch as he puts in a calm yet composed performance. AR Rahman&#8217;s mesmerizing music and BGMs add colour to the film.<\/p>\n<p>Where Kadal suffers is in its screenplay particularly in the 2nd half which flounders with lack of connectivity to a first half that is superb. The messy 2nd half ends up making Kadal just an average effort in the end. It could have been so much more better. On the whole, Kadal isn&#8217;t an entirely disappointing film but what could have been a superb film ends up as an average viewing mainly due to the weak second half.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/photo.php?fbid=419079568173972&amp;set=a.388509281231001.90456.355214514560478&amp;type=1\" target=\"_blank\">Cine Shore<\/a> rated the movie Kadal &#8211; 3\/5<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\"><em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/CineShore\/info\" target=\"_blank\">Click for More info on Cine Shore\u00a0<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ace film-maker Mani Ratnam returns with his latest offering, &#8216;Kadal&#8216; a romance set in the backdrop of the Christian fishermen community in the coastal regions.
