Kannamoochi Yenada

<p>Harish Venkatraman, a software architect by profession who lives in Malaysia, is the millionaire nephew of Maheswaran Iyer. Having lost his parents early in life, he runs his uncle’s business with impressive results. He stumbles upon the psychiatry student Devasena in the most cinematic manner and falls for her that very instant. Deva is the daughter of Commissioner Arumugam Gounder and Dhamayanthi in Chennai. As the plot progresses, Deva is being summoned by her parents for their silver jubilee wedding anniversary back home. Notwithstanding the fact he has a flourishing business to attend to and much to the wrath of his uncle (who arranges for his wedding with his business partner’s daughter), Harish takes the next flight to Chennai to accompany Deva. He is subjected to a warm welcome by Dhamayanthi and a cold shoulder by Arumugam. To make matters worse, Maheswaran’s vicious character assassination (in the name of a complaint he sends to the police commissioner’s office) does not help Harish in the task of gaining enough confidence among his girlfriend’s parents. Will Harish win his love back, now that his chance of impressing Deva’s parents are doomed? The music was scored by , teaming up with director again after (2005).

Lyrics were provided by . wrote, “On the whole, the first half wins you over with its simple charm, its immensely likeable characters, and the intrinsic humour in the writing. But the latter half is too long, contrived and predictable to the extent of being seriously boring. In the final analysis, however, these are a few wrong turns in an otherwise entertaining film that’ll bring a smile to your face”. Aarani Yuvaraj of wrote the film moves smoothly without hiccups, praised the humour but panned the songs, lyrics and song placements and cinematography. Malini Mannath of wrote, “Director Priya’s debut venture ‘Kanda Naal Mudhal’ was a classy, sensibly handled film. ‘Kannamoochi…’ comes as a disappointment, the director not quite in tune with or comfortable in the genre she has chosen”.</p>
