C/o Kancharapalam- An unconditional love story

What would be your answer,if you were asked to define love? CO Kancharapalam answers the question more precisely with utmost reality and nativity.

This is more of a poem than a movie. Beauty,beauty and beauty throughout. Not in the physical sense though. There is no one in the movie who has an appeal through physical beauty.

Love is not buying a teddy bear or a diamond necklace. Love is trusting the sex worker companion with a pair of condoms, love is taking a bottle of sugar water during a hill trek knowing the companion is suffering from diabetes, love is gifting a lyrical book when the companion badly needs it to win a competition.

The writing was so organic. We don't feel the run because,we travel along. There are many characters, but all we consume is the love they possess. Love is the both the protagonist and the antagonist. The little girl who played Sunitha is a great find.

The success of this movie lies in the fact that it keeps you smiling throughout. There is a difference between laughand smile. The emotion gets reflected into us as clear as a glass. Especially the portion in which Sundaram  searches Sunitha. We are provided  with four different love stories in a non linear manner.

The best thing about the screenplay is that we don't loose the connect. For example, the statue maker was not present during the middle forty minutes but the director doesn't fail to put his shoes into us when he is shown again. This, usually will be absent in the major movies of this category. There is a sex worker, an old couple making love, school kid falling for a girl but we don't feel awkward, not even for a moment. In fact those portions are the most beautiful ones.

There are many scenes that may create issues like the one in which stones are thrown on lord Ganesha or the one in which a Christian throws away his cross. I wish it gets promoted atleast  in this way.

My most favourite scenes are the conversation between Raju and madam after the trek,the way Gaddam proposes,the entire Sundaram  Sunitha portions and the climax.

Some may feel glitches during the later second half, but we come to know that it was intentional. I usually hate twists in movies because it cheats us. It says what we believed was not true. But this was not the case. There is a major twist but neither us nor the flow is affected, infact we don't even realize because it was "real" and I was wondering about how the creator had managed to keep the timeline away  from us.

The detailing given,the sound design ,the midnight jams, the songs,the supporting artists, the main actors and the story, everything goes hand in hand and delivers us a delicious product.

The county must celebrate this piece of art but I am,by now used to viewing movies in empty theaters because this has no devarkondas or no Pawan kalyans. I watched it along with 'six' other people in the entire theatre and everyone left the theatre with smile and tears,isn't this real "success".
