Kanden Kadhalai Review:
'Jab we met', the movie praised for its simplicity and realistic, is remade in Tamil version. Has it recreated the magic? The film starts with Sakthi (Bharath), son of a famous industrialist, who goes to his Ex-lover's marriage. The depressed Sakthi sees her for the final time. He gets into a train where he meets Anjali (Tamanna), who is a talkative and an incessant chatterbox.Sakthi finds Anjali irritating.She tells Sakthi about her love for Goutham. At a station Sakthi gets down from the train. When the train starts moving, Anjali tries to get him back on the train, she ends up missing it and the two find themselves stranded on a desolate station Virudhachalam with no luggage or money. The two stays on a Lodge for some time and they go to Theni, Anjali's hometown. Anjali's family members decide her to elope with Mokkai Raasu (Santhanam). Anjali decides to run away for Goutham, who lives in Ooty. Sakthi helps her to go to Ooty. After leaving Anjali in Ooty, Sakthi comes to chennai.
Sakthi apologizes for leaving the company and going somewhere else. With a positive outlook and new conviction on life because of Anjali, he guides the company to great success. After 9 months, seeing Sakthi on TV, Anjali's father runs to chennai to meet him.Sakthi is shocked to hear that Anjali has not returned home. He takes it upon himself to find her and return her to her family.
Sakthi returns to Ooty where he expects her to be with her new husband but finds that Goutham had turned her out to the streets and refused to marry her. After saying a few spiteful words to Goutham for what he did, Sakthi leaves to find Anjali. He finds Anjali and asks her to come with him. However, Goutham arrives and exclaims that he has realized he was a jerk and tries to patch up their relationship. Initially, Anjali does not think she will accept his apology but Sakthi pushes her to accept it and be with him even though he loves her too.
 All three then travel back to Theni to bring Anjali back and to announce that Anjali and Goutham are involved. Back in Theni, the family again assumes that Anjali and Goutham are together and in all the confusion there is no chance to right the family's misconceptions. While trying to clear the misconception, situations make Anjali realize that she is in fact in love with Sakthi, not Goutham, and therefore, both of them get married.
Well, thats the story. The first half has been refreshing. With Santhanam in the peak of his comedy form, his dialogues gimmicks. The second half with 3 songs come within a span of 25 minutes sags the story. Kareena's acting cannot be compared to Tamanna. Kareena wins so is Shahid to Bharath. In the original movie, the way Kareena starts to love Shahid was shown with intense emotion. But here, R. Kannan, the director has completely neglected it. I dont know why. In stead where it should be serious love (at the end between Bharath and Tamanna), he had included Santhanam's comedy in which the logic sored. Though that climax, where Tamanna hugs Bharath, makes you forget it all.
Vidhyasagar's music is hugely disappointing. Dialogues by Pattukottai Prabhakar, in many areas seems he had translated from the original movie's english subtitles. The camera works are good. All in all it cannot match the original one, but still Santhanam's presence makes it a watchable one.
Verdict: Only for Santhanam otherwise, better watch “Jab we met”.
Ratings: 2 and half.

 There is freedom within, there is freedom without
Try to catch the deluge in a paper cup
There's a battle ahead, many battles are lost
But you'll never see the end of the road
While you're travelling with me
Hey now, hey now
Don't dream it's over
Hey now, hey now
When the world comes in
They come, they come
To build a wall between us
We know they won't win
Now I'm towing my car, there's a hole in the roof
My possessions are causing me suspicion but there's no proof
In the paper today tales of war and of waste
But you turn right over to the T.V. page
Hey now, hey now
Don't dream it's over
Hey now, hey now
When the world comes in
They come, they come
To build a wall between us
We know they won't win
Now I'm walking again to the beat of a drum
And I'm counting the steps to the door of your heart
Only the shadows ahead barely clearing the roof
Get to know the feeling of liberation and relief
Hey now, hey now
Don't dream it's over
Hey now, hey now
When the world comes in
They come, they come
To build a wall between us
Don't ever let them win 

Today's song Don't Dream It's Over by Crowded House, made famous by Sixpence None The Richer about 20 years after it was released originally by Crowded House, is such a wonderfully written song. Lyrically, this song has so many pieces that were put together perfectly to be true poetry in song. It has countless awesome elements. It has romance, realism, darkness, and all in all it has that little something extra to make it amazing. Of course it does have a slightly stereotypical 80's sound, but if you've got an open enough mind you'll probably love it. I've said it before and I'll say it again music can truly cure things that are weighing down on you. This song has healed me many times. Also, if you haven't seen it, go pick up Adventureland. The movie, cast, soundtrack, story, all of it is just freaking amazing! It features this song perfectly also. There's this part where it all kinda comes together and just shows the weight of the story with this song playing in the backdrop. It's totally awesome!
Here's the video, sorry about the Spanish subtitles, but it has the English ones also. So hey, if you're Spanish, this is for you. Feel special and don't get used to it. And as always I've linked the video below just in case, as well as the version without any subtitles.

A year after Hurricane Katrina, Al Collins, a high school basketball coach in Marrero, Louisiana, assembles a team of players who had previously attended five different schools before the disaster and leads them on the path to the state championships.

The year is 2047 and a ship named the Event Horizon has re-appeared after disappearing 7 years prior, in experiments for faster than light travel. A rescue hastily speeds to the returned vessel after a transmission was picked up from the ship, garbled, but vaguely resembling a human voice.

The year is 2010. Teenager Alan Tracy, sent off to a distant boarding school, is the youngest of the sons of Jeff Tracy, a retired American astronaut. Jeff, a widower, has formed International Rescue, and raised his sons to act as a secret, volunteer organization which uses highly advanced technology to save lives worldwide.
