Adhe Kangal takes some time to pick up, and for a while, it is content at being a triangular romance. The pacing and the rhythm seem off in these portions, and we are unsure where things are headed. But then, the film turns into an investigative thriller. And slowly, propped by Ghibran’s score, the director and the film start finding their feet.
The plot revolves around Varun (Kalaiyarasan), a visually challenged chef, into whose life walks Deepa (Sshivada), who is right out of the movie heroine handbook — good-looking, vulnerable and most importantly, feels it is her duty to help the poor. Varun’s friend Sadhana (Janani Iyer) has a soft spot for him and his parents decide to fix up a match between them. Meanwhile, Deepa asks Varun to help her family, which is in financial trouble, but before he can do that, he meets with an accident. Fortunately, he is safe, and not only that, he gets his vision back. However, Deepa is missing, and given that no one in Varun’s circle has seen, can he trace her whereabouts?
