PAARTHIBAN KANAVU(/5)
	: Srikanth & Sneha
	Music: Vidyasagar
	Direction: Karu Pazhaniappan
Remark: Story on Mixed Identity but right on target

A family drama with difference. The movie is about the life of a Guy who falls in love with a Girl but marries a similar looking girl, without realising that she is not the one he wanted to marry. Srikanth, has grown leaps and bounds in his short, little successful Cine Career. He lives a typical Chennai youth life, living without any worries, jokes around with his friends(Vivek & Co). Special mention has to be made about Vivek's performance in this movie. Vivek is just superb to say the least, no matter how much we ridicule his Comedy, accusing him of Stereotypical jokes but the fact of the matter is, he is the Best in the bunch now. His imitation as, Mudual Mariyadai Sivaji is hilarious. Srikanth meets a modern Sneha(gorgeous n good performance), falls in love at first sight. His parents force him to see a girl for marriage. Srikanth is shocked to see Sneha as the Bride and happily accepts to marry her. They get married and as they move towards their new home, Srikanth is shocked to see his real Love Sneha walk in the roads with her friends. Soon the modern Sneha moves into the same apartment of Srikanth. Srikanth starts hating is wife who is homely and not those modern types. Finally Srikanth realizes the true meaning of Love and Marriage. The movie's main strength is the First Half. Vidyasagar's songs are good and will definitely be a hit. "Aalanguil" song will certainly be a good hit and the "Bak Bak" song where Srikanth and Sneha, imitate the Tamil Cine Song history will go down well with the masses. The title number by Pushpavanam Kuppuswamy is good too. The Cinematography is pleasant and simple. All is well only that, we tend to get a bit tired towards the end. Srikanth and Sneha look great as a pair (the rumours that they are going around has helped). Too many action movies….this one is refreshing.
