The movie was amazing. Vijay Sethupathi mass acting in the film. Everyone acted very well in the film. Songs and BGM were amazing. But the climax was not acceptable and it's not believable.

I read somewhere that this movie was initially titled "Eskimo Kadhal" before the makers finally fixed on "Kadhalum Kadanthu Pogum". And there is a scene where the heroine refers to the male protagonist as a dog that eskimos cuddle and hug to keep themselves warm during the biting cold weather. The guy responds by asking "Naaaya?" in the quirkiest way possible. It is precisely this sort of cleverly written dialogue that make Ka Ka Po worth a watch at the cinema hall. I just wish there were more people with me to appreciate or hoot or laugh their guts out when they were actually supposed to. Nalan (of Soodhu Kavvum fame) crafts his second film in a manner that completely overturns traditional rom-com clichés. We even have the typical hero-saves-heroine-from-the-horny-bad-guy scene. But all that is done with such elan and finesse that the viewer buys it without hesitation. Vijay Sethupathi has time n' again proved to be the go-to guy for roles like these. He is basically a thug, with some forced swag, but also one with a heart. We have seen countless number of masala flicks where the heroine instantly falls in love the hero when he merely flexes his muscles while beating up some twenty or thirty odd goons in a street ^vegetables and colored-powder fly in the air^. In this case, the fights are concise and shot judiciously. The funny moments are sprinkled throughout and at times, you need to be a real good observer to notice the hilarious puns. The ROFL moments happen during a bar fight and an interview respectively. I won't reveal how Nalan and Sethupathi pull it off because it NEEDS to be seen and cherished. Another aspect of the film that warrants admiration is the scintillating background score and music by Santhosh Narayanan. The pulsating "Pangaali" track is apt for the 'Sethupathi-goes-full- on-rogue' scenes while "Ka Ka Ka Po" hands out the kuthu song on a platter to the viewer. The BGM is generally breezy and gels well with the proceedings. It is definitely worth mentioning that Madonna has nailed her first full-blown character with consummate ease. Unlike 'Naanum RowdyDhaan' which was a black comedy full of hilarious characters apart from Sethupathi's and Nayantara's (such as RJ Balaji, the old man who plays 'Rahul', the interracial Pondy couple, Anandaraj, Parthiban and so on), Ka Ka Po rather revolves completely around the two leads. Credit should be given to Sethupathi and Madonna for completely holding our attention since they take up almost 95% of the movie's run-time. Nalan may not have attained the levels of Soodhu Kavvum in terms of hilarity, nonetheless pulls off his second venture quite eloquently by not playing to the galleries instead providing the intelligent cinema- goer with enough matter to chew on. Okay, maybe not two thumbs-up but most certainly deserving of 'one-and-a-half'. Keep up the good work Nalan and crew. Looking forward to your next!

The director, Nalan Kumarasamy's second directional film. His First, 'Soodhu Kavvum' was a massive hit and now back with this retaining the same lead actor. I did not remember the original Korean film this one was based on, but while watching it, I remembered some of the parts. I think the directed did well, because it is not easy to keep up to the original standards. And as usual Vijay Sethupathi did not disappoint me.The Madonna Sebatian's Tamil debut film and she was wonderful. This story was told from her perspective, well mostly, particularly in the first half. The story of an engineering graduate who comes to the regional capital, Chennai, seeking a job in an IT company. As she struggles to get one in this competitive world, meets her new neighbour, a thug who often bumps each other and needlessly have quarrels. But later everything softens between them, because the two are struggling in their life somewhat similarly. So one another, they comfort each other during tough times, till one day when things forever changes in their life.For Kollywood and its fans, this is an extraordinary piece. But for the international viewers, I'm sure you would have seen such films, even though it is worth a watch. The young filmmaker changing the Kollywood landscape. Soon film like this will become mainstream films and the big actor films would turn into the parallel films. Simple story, yet many interesting stuff happens. Todays condition of IT professionals were highlighted quite factfully. It was more a friendship kind of film, but there are enough fun. So I definitely recommended it to everyone, especially if you know the language, don't miss it.8/10

Nalan Kumarasamy delivers it all!! A breezy comedy drama with excellent execution and brilliant screenplay and Mesmerizing performances from Madonna & Vijay Sethupathy. Story revolves around an ambitious girl from a local village who arrives Chennai City and befriends with a local goon and changes their lives forever. Madonna beautifully protrays Yazhini and she was very good in emotions and dialogue presentations. Vijay Sethupathi, of course, didn't let me down as the local goon and he played his role very easily. Samutthirakkani who played the baddie has got nothing much to do mut he didn't wasted the role. Although the movie is based on Two lead characters, the other actors performed well and added more spice to this delicious movie. Santhosh Narayanan delivered excellent soundtrack which was close to the script and the songs were placed well. The tracks were composed in a local village tone and was very hummable. Cinematography was excellent especially the raining parts. Editing was top notch which provided a racy movie with no boring parts. A worth watch in every sense. Thanks to Nalan Kumarasamy to deliver a brilliant feel fresh movie. The main advantage of the movie are no macho heroism and boring romantic scenes. My rating 8.5 on 10
