It doesn't matter if you're a Mani Ratnam fan or not, his latest outing, O Kadhal Kanmani is sure to leave you with an everlasting smile on your face. The movie, which marks the auteur's return to the romance genre after a decade, is a refreshing take on contemporary romance and relationship.
The story is set in Mumbai, and the city, through lensman PC Sreeram's frames has never looked so beautiful, adding much needed oomph to the romance of Aadi (Dulquer) and Tara (Nitya), two educated, independent and ambitious individuals. Rahman's music, needless to say, is soul-stirring, if not as standalone soundtrack but it works so well in the movie.
