Requiem for love: 2 hearts, pure emotion.

Requiem for a successful production: The entire team moving and thinking as one entity; differences and different personalities notwithstanding.

Kanden Kadhalai is a faithful, yet unique remake of the smash hit Hindi movie Jab We Met, directed by young Imtiaz Ali.

Bharath and Tamannaah play the lead roles of Sakthivel, a rich, disenchanted businessman who suddenly finds himself a failure in love and at work; and Anjali, a young running too full of beans to be true, planning to run away from her charming family in Theni with the boy she is in love with. This is just as Shahid Kapoor and Kareena Kapoor played Aditya and Geeth in the original Jab We Met. And so the story goes...

Shakthi (Bharath), a despairing industrialist, is even more brokenhearted as he is jilted in love as well. Unable to face returning home alone, he aimlessly wanders off to the railway station and boards a train, bounding away into the night. As destiny would have it, on the train he meets Anjali (Tamannah), a beautiful but annoyingly talkative girl who is leaving Chennai to go her hometown, Theni. She tells Shakthi - a complete stranger, but that doesn’t bother her - that she has plans of eloping with her boyfriend. So annoying is this chatty gnat of a girl, that the irritated Shakthi jumps off the train to escape from her. As Anjali tries to get him back on the train, she ends up missing it and the two find themselves stranded on a desolate station. Unwilling to leave a young girl to preying men, Shakthi sighs and decides to get her home safely, not knowing the rollercoaster ride that awaits him. Eventually, just as he begins to fall in love with her, they go their separate ways and he returns with strangely renewed energy at work. How the come back together forms the storyline of Kanden Kadhalai, a beautiful and captivating made-for-each-other love.

Actually, who would you have cast in the lead roles?

I imagine Suriya or Vikram would be good as the male lead but none of the younger ones seems to fit (if the movie was not changed into a masala family movie).

As for the female lead, I just cannot imagine any of the present popular heroines. I guess that the tricky part is acting all bubbly without going overboard and annoying the audience. Tamanah did not quite manage that for me here and neither did Genelia in SS or Bommarillu. And I can't imagine Trisha, Nayantara or Shriya in this role either. Their previous attempts at acting cutesy have been grating. Maybe Sneha? Or any of the newcomers? If only this movie was done earlier. I would have loved to see Revathi, Nathiya or Amala in their prime in this role.

Mirth, i personally feel Tammu was the best choice..I have watched JWM too and i felt Tammu did justice to her role..Some scenes i felt Kareena performed better and vice versa

I have the advantage of not seeing the originals and thus enjoyed both tamanna in KK and genelia in SaSu.

I do agree with you, Mahen about Tamanah being the probably the best choice out of the current lot of popular or so-called "number one" actresses. As I said, I think she did well in the sad scenes (better than Kareena, according to me). But she did annoy me a tad in some of the happy bubbly scenes. It just felt a wee bit exaggerated which unusually enough, I did not feel about Kareena's acting (though I think that Kareena tends to overact). And since the happier scenes were more my favourite and there were more of them, I felt that Tamanah was not as good as Kareena. Well, I guess I understand now why Kareena was getting so many accolades for this role (I felt that Shahid's performance was overlooked in relative to hers). It's not an easy role to pull off. Maybe since I saw Kareena's performance first, I'm more used to her performance especially in the scenes that were almost direct copies of her performance.

Anyway, I forgot to include Asin. She has done a bubbly character in Ghajini. But since that character annoyed me due to the character's imbecility, I cannot see Asin in this role as well.

Maybe Sneha would have been better than Tamanah. I've not found Sneha to overact so far. She's managed to do well in whatever "bubbly" scenes she had so far in her various movies though they are few in number. Unfortunately she is no longer among the most popular or "number one" actresses or more accurately a "sweet young thing" by industry standards.

Actually, after thinking about this further, I wonder if I feel that the current lot of the popular actresses cannot act so well because most of the roles they have been doing are idiotic, thus putting me off them. Often I'm peeved by the characterisations of the heroines and so do not really appreciate the actress's performance and thus think that they cannot act well.
