Kadal launches Gautham Karthik and Thulasi Nair and is also the comeback of Arvind Swamy. Mani’s story has failed him and the uni-dimensional nature of his characters could not lift the movie’s state.

Trade Talk

Kadal is at the center of controversy with distributors demanding compensation for its losses. 

Public Talk

Rahman’s music, Rajiv Menon’s cinematography and perhaps, Arvind Swamy.
