One could call it a ‘battle of the sexes’ in the first half and a lilting love story in the second. The tussles between Prasanna and Laila that started right from their childhood are quite enjoyable to watch. The director has been extremely careful not to allow it get over the top. The way fate keeps bringing them back against each other and the circumstances under which their animosity turns into love have been wonderfully narrated on screen. The final turmoil in their minds about telling their respective families about their love and the way it ultimately comes out are sweet and interesting. Enemies to lovers – this has been portrayed in cinema many times before, but Kanda Naal Mudhal has to be counted among the best.
