Kaathu Vaakula Rendu Kaadhal movie review: Samantha, Nayanthara rock, while Vijay Sethupathi gets shout out

After receiving a U/A certificate from the Censor Board, director Vignesh Shivan's much-anticipated romantic comedy Kaathu Vaakula Rendu Kaadhal, starring Vijay Sethupathi, Nayanthara, and Samantha, opened in theatres today (April 28). And the first reviews for the film have already begun to arrive.

Those who saw the Vijay Sethupathi, Nayanthara, and Samantha film premiere and early morning shows flocked to Twitter to share their reactions. The general consensus appears to be favourable on Twitter, with many praising the performances and directing.
 

Vijay Sethupathi portrays a character named Rambo, which stands for Ranjankudi Anbarasu Murugesa Boopathy Ohoondhiran in the film. In the film, Nayanthara portrays Kanmani, while Samantha plays Khatija. The film was shot by cinematographer Vijay Karthik Kannan and edited by Sreekar Prasad, with music by Anirudh.

A netizen tweeted, “Give her any role, #Samantha will put 100 percent and give justice to the role. #Khatija mind blowing performance in KRK. Whole theater screams for Khatija's intro scene Best acting ever @Samanthaprabhu2 #KaathuVaakulaRenduKaadhal
