Waiting for two love

At a time when I was feeling bored two weeks ago, I thought of going to a movie. Out of the movies that available in the closer movie hall to my boarding hall, Kaathuvakula Rendhu Kadhal caught my attention because the name sounded interesting; waiting for two lovers. If you asked me why did I watch it and why should you watch it, the best thing about it is that it casts two of the biggest names in the Kollywood industry; Nayanthara and Samantha. And if you asked me why you shouldn’t watch it, I would say the previous is the only best thing about it.

The plot rotates around the life of Rambo (acted out by Vijay Sethupathi) who spent a dual life and fell in love with two women who had contrasting personalities. He is a cab driver in the daytime crushing over Kanmani (Nayanthara) and a bouncer at night falling in love with Khadhija (Samantha). The conflict occurs when his dual life was exposed at the two lovers started to fight over the man. The pitiful plight of this three-way relationship is satire through how they were cast in a tv program. The TV program makes it looks like a reality show where the two ladies are fighting over the man. This reality shows function as a mode of humour on the surface, but in deep, it’s about the 21st century tendency of commercializing every aspect of life.

However, the narration becomes sloppy after the reality show and I felt like the storyline is unnecessary dragging in the same place. And I didn’t understand why those two ladies continuous fighting over a man who tells “I love you two” instead of “I love you too”. I don’t wanna spoil the end of the movie for you, but I think the characters came to their senses at least the end of the movie.

It’s a movie that I had high expectations because of the cast, but tbh the storyline fails me to a certain extent.
Thanks for reading!

Have a nice day!
