Review of Kaakha Kaakha

Kaakha Kaakha (2003)
7/10
Pretty good
2 August 2003
Warning: Spoilers
I wanted to see this film ever since I saw the promos cos I thought it looked diffrent from the countless other drab similar Tamil movies that were releasing.

And I was right. Of course, there is quite a bit of violence, but after seeing all those Hollywood action movies, it is quite easy to accept it. The actors are very good. I've seen Soorya only in Nerukku Ner and wasn't very impressed, but I think he does the tough cop-shy guy routine pretty well. Jyothika is as good as always. The villian is ok.

Music is really good. I've always thought of Harris Jayaraj as a poor man's A.R., but this one is a sparkler. Camera's good, so are action sequences (surprisingly get to see a fit hero who can actually swing his legs) and title graphics.

Story goes like this...

Anbu is a conscientous cop in the anti-drugsquad, with 3 of his friends, but due to their excessively violent methods they all get transferred to other units. Then he meets Jyothika who catches his fancy, and he hers. She pursues, and gets him to agree. Then problems arise, as the four are transfered back to the Anti drug squad, and take out a drug lord. His brother swears vengence, and the remaining story is about that.

***Spoiler***

Hate the ending. Hope they change it. I hate tragedies.

***End Spoiler***

K. Everything said, movie very good. Watch it.
