![]() ![]() While she does look casual and carefree in a few scenes, her body language is terrific in the scenes she plays. Aishwarya Rajesh is convincing as the cricketer. Sathyaraj’s performance is superb throughout the film, and it is especially good when he emotes his love for his daughter. However, with good performances, the film manages to work. I wish there was some dialogue or scene that showed that it merged with the film. If one is able to give a speech on moral policies, then how come that person isn’t a part of making the positive change in farming? (one may understand this after they’ve watched the film). In one scene when you hear the long speech about how farming is important, it is intended to make us think, but in turn, one may question the entire theme of the film. While her father works hard, faces humiliation and loses his self-respect, all Kausalya is doing to stare at an open space or she is sulking at the cricketing academy. It often feels like Kausalya isn’t too worried about her family’s situation as there aren’t any scenes that even remotely show so. showing the plight of the farming community, the film loses the mark. ![]() Shuttling between her goals and failures versus. While it starts off as a story about a sincere and earnest girl’s passion for cricket, it also shines a light on her family’s disappearing lives as farmers. The film boasts of other such dialogues that work well.ĭuring its course, Kanaa digresses. After listening to this, one may get an assurance that the film will go on a route that bashes the gender norms. In another scene when Kausalya begins to practice playing, one player in the cricket team asks how a girl can be included in the game, to which another player says that the cricket ball doesn’t know the difference between a man or a woman, all that matters is their passion to play. ![]() This scene shows how society thinks of a woman, and how a parent or people should actually respond. Take this, in one scene, when people at the police station question Murugesan’s (Sathyaraj) decision to allow his daughter to play in a ‘man’s’ game, or when they shame her, Murugesan slams their intentions. And that’s when we begin rooting for her! It’s amazing in other ways as well. Be it Kausalya’s ( Aishwarya Rajesh) stubborn attitude to play cricket or the time when her mother (played by Rama) thrashes her decision to be a part of the cricketing team – this film bears the ingredients that eventually help the underdog find her path to success. It features some genuine good elements of what is necessary for a story of an underdog. We’ve seen in all! So, what works from the film? Like all other films of featuring an underdog, this film too has a female lead who isn’t supported by certain people of the society or the family, or the familiar event where the underdog is ridiculed by members of her own team. However, it is not pathbreaking, neither it is saying a new story. Kanaa, in a way, is a film that decides to redefine gender roles, and stereotypes in society. ![]()
