Kaanekkaane Malayalam film review: Suraj Venajaramoodu keeps you rooted

Suraj Venjramoodu being cast as the father of a daughter lost in an accident is what makes Kaanekkaane , a treat to watch. Though at times it reminds you of `Finals’, Suraj brings in a variation and carries you through with him. You cry when he breaks down and smile when he walks away with a peaceful mind. The script no doubt is loaded favourable to Paul Mathai the father who stumbles upon something related to his daughter’s death. It is quite late into the happenings that writer Bobby –Sanjay start to bring out the other side of the hubby and his new wife , played with ease by Tovino and Aishwarya Lekshmi . In fact it is good to see Aishwarya back as an actress of substance as most of her recent outings have been disappointments. Tovino, once again after Kaala takes up a role that is far from heroic. Kudos to that.

Moral dilemmas have always a subject that is debateable and here too it is bound to happen with the viewers. The use of a hit and run accident used at three different junctures gives it a suspense feel  and sort of takes you off from the mind games.  Cinematography, Music go along with the narration.

Manu Asokan next after Uyare teams with the writers to give a film that leaves a lasting impression on the mind of the viewers. Suraj  sort of sums up the post retirement days of a employees aptly when hej says that visits from his daughter and family , laying a wreath on the cemetery for the annual remembrance day and waiting with head held high for the final reckoning are the few pleasures that one looks forward. When small wishes get trampled, it does cause a pain that a younger generation will not fathom.
