Vennila Kabadi Kuzhu - Review

Vennila Kabadi Kuzhu - Review

Quite a while ago, sports-based films created news and made money. Though inspired by many similar blockbusters, Vennila Kabadi Kuzhu is impressive in a refreshingly original way. Debut director Suseendran has made the film with a well-prepared storyboard. His clarity in terms of approach and presentation of the same are evident.

Marimuthu (Vishnu) is a nondescript resident in a remote village. Mari's only interest is in the local sport kabaddi. Whenever he finds time, Mari keeps playing the game, enacting the roles of the different players in the participating teams and trying to incorporate some smart winning tricks with his own style. His friends form a group named Vennila Kabadi Kuzhu and participate in contests, but Mari never gets a chance to play as a representative of the group; therefore his passion and skill for the game do not get revealed.

When he accompanies the team to a nearby village for a contest, Mari gets a chance to substitute one of the players in the team. Despite Mari's efforts, their team loses the game. But eminent kabaddi coach Sowdamuthu (Kishore) witnesses the game, recognizes Marimuthu's skill, and compliments him. With that strong feeling of recognition under his belt, Mari meets a sweet girl (Charanya Mohan) at the temple carnival. Even though both of them do not get a chance to move closer, an inexplicable feeling of affection and affinity sparks off between them. Mari gifts his locket to the girl as a memorable memento, a proof of his love.
