Candyfloss cute

If Bhagyaraj’s style of reaching the masses was a straight forward screenplay and earthy scenes in a film of a small budget, his son Shantanoo takes a suave route with a candyfloss love story. Joining hands with him is director Kalaa Prabhu, son of producer Kalaipuli Thanu.

The two celebrity kids have come out with a costly end-product, a triangle love story, which is nothing new to Tamil cinema. The film runs for just two-hours, without unnecessarily dragging the content.

Yuvaraj (Shantanoo) goes to college, where he meets Deepali (Ishita Sharma) and falls in love. Enters the ‘mora ponnu’ Reema (Vedhika), who falls for him. Soon the affair between Yuvaraj and Deepali is on rocks, thanks to some unintentional acts of Reema.

Common friends conjure up an idea which would necessitate all the three people come together in a birthday party. Do the lovers come together again or does Reema's pure-love succeed is the crux of Sakkarakatti.

Shantanoo tries to replicate Sharukh Khan in many scenes. However, the fresher passes the test. Vedhika is set to win a round of applause while Ishita Sharma emotes well.

The major asset of the movie is A R Rahman’s music, with Taxi Taxi….. already topping the charts. Overall, Kalaa Prabhu’s maiden venture lives up to its title, if we are ready to forget some logical potholes.
