Kandukondain Kandukondain brings back memories of a time when having more than five songs in a film was commonplace. a period when music served as more than just a decorative element for movies—they were integral to their stories. To be honest, I typically skip the music when viewing a movie,
yet I never hesitate to listen to all eight of 's songs. The movie's songs all have their own stories, but it never detracts from the main action. The songs not only take us to a different reality from the lush Tamil Nadu hamlet where the film is situated, but they also deepen the depth of the story.Kandukondain was inspired by Jane Austen's Sense and Sensibility. The story of Kandukondain revolves around two sisters who are radically different from each other: Sowmya (Tabu) and Meenakshi (Aishwarya Rai). Whereas Meenakshi is irrationally passionate, Sowmya is pragmatic and even reserved in her quest for love. Sowmya doesn't struggle against her situation; instead, she is prepared to settle down with any man her mother picks.
She has been unlucky ever since the man she was engaged to committed suicide and she was held accountable. Meenakshi, on the other hand, is looking forward to her "prince charming" and "fairytale romance." She want to go solo in search of a companion and explore the globe with him. In the end, both parties benefit since they are half
The ladies in the book had little choice but to wed a guy of property in order to rise above their lowly status. Their search for love thus becomes their life's work. If a woman is poor, how can she find love if she has attractive features, piano prowess, and a little bit of sass? But Rajiv Menon has forced the sisters to confront their unanticipated destitution. They gradually become self-sufficient as a result of this and stop waiting for a hero. Soumya begins her career in software as a receptionist before moving up to junior programming and eventually purchasing an apartment for her family. If Jane Austen had seen the options available to women in the twenty-first century, she would have surely approved of this.
Every character in the film has a redemption story, even the one who almost fits the mold of a classic villain. In Meenakshi and Major Bala's love story, even the third person is amiable and unproblematic. Breaking up with Meenakshi is something that Srikanth (Abbas) is compelled to do, not something he wants to do. His own financing company had failed, but if he married his daughter, a clergyman would assist him. He is not a cunning manipulator; he is just a victim of circumstance.
Because she believes she brings ill luck to her family and that she is undeserving of happiness or good things, Sowmya has given up on ever finding love. Manohar (Ajith), though, would strongly disagree. It was almost love at first sight for him. As a filmmaker, he expresses his love for Sowmya, and she returns the favor. However, like most relationships, their miscommunication leads to a misunderstanding, and Sowmya ends things. She chooses to accept her company's offer to go to the US since she is so incredibly heartbroken. Her boss is the delicious Raghuvaran, who is very supportive and understanding.
