Kakka Kakka
SURYA HAS come a long way since the days of "Naerukku Naer." Robust in looks and smug with self-confidence the young man has matured into a full-fledged action hero. "Nanda" proved it to a great extent. "Kaakha Kaakha" confirms it. It is obvious that Surya has worked really hard - honing his histrionic skills, concentrating on dance movements and stunts and particularly working out on his physique. The result is the impressive hero material that Gautam, the writer-director, has made optimum use of in V Creations' "Kaakha Kaakha."
Generally police stories spell success because they are full of action. But then these stories depend on a strong, fast moving screenplay. "Kaakha Kaakha" does not disappoint you on that score. It is speedy action from start to finish.
First, director Gautam has to be congratulated on for his linear narration... for his acumen in not wasting time with a superfluous comedy track. Probably saying that he could have also done away with. It might be unfair to say that the item number (from Ramya Krishnan) shouldn't have found a place because it is so obviously a part of cinema's commercial agenda. However, it has to be mentioned that the choreography is blatant, crass and rather repulsive.
Anbuselvan (Surya), Sethu, Ilamaran and Srikanth are young straightforward IPS officers.
Expectedly, the ruthless, hardcore villains put up a stiff resistance and life turns topsy-turvy for the quartet. Unwittingly Maya (Jyotika) becomes the target of underworld kingpin Pandia (Jeevan). Her romance and later marriage to Anbuselvan put her in great peril.
"Kaakha Kaakha" is just another story of vendetta. But the treatment and the characterisation make it commendable.
Jyotika looks ravishing in the role of a responsible schoolteacher who falls in love with Anbuselvan. The pair has an appealing screen presence.
Jeevan, the "University" hero, is the proverbial Evil pitted against Good. His voice that is very different from a villain's strident decibel level makes an impact.
Harris Jeyaraj's score for "Kaakha Kaakha" has already been acclaimed a hit. R. D. Rajashekar's camera is a visual delight.
Anbuselvan's life in flashback, in the first person commentary form gets monotonous at times. Gautam could have added a couple of more ways to unfold the hero's past. And how come an astute officer like Anbuselvan fails to see through Srikanth's sudden change in behaviour?
"Kaakha Kaakha" is for action lovers who believe in logical storylines and deft treatment.

Songs
Ennai Konjam - Tippu, Shalini Singh and Timmi. Nowadays lot of songs starts without preludes.
This song too starts suddenly without a prelude as “Siragugal Neeludhey”. The female voice in this song is really cool to hear especially in the line “Onnae onnu sollanum, un mugathai paarthu sollanum”. It’s a rhythmic song and very well experimented with the instruments by Harris. This song is going to be a definite hit.

Ondra Renda -Bombay Jayasree. Again Harris and Goutham tried to create the same kind of hit like the Vaseegara song in their earlier movie Minnalae. Harris followed the footsteps of A.R.Rahman by reusing his own tune from the hindi song DilKo in RHTDM. Though this song is not great as Vaseegara, it’s very well sung by Bombay Jayasree and also nice lyrics by Thamarai.

Thoodhu Varuma - Sunitha Sarathi and Febi mani. May be this song would be played when Surya(Acted as a cop in the movie) investigating a case. Though this song is composed and sung well, the lyrics are not good enough. Especially, in the line “Marupadi varuvaai endru ninaithaen” struggles to fit in to the tune. Better lyrics can make this song sounds better.
Uyirin Uyirae-Kay Kay and Suchithra. The song starts with a catchy humming from Suchithra (Don’t know which language it is). The tune of this song sounds very familiar, so we can’t stop humming the tune even after the first listening itself. In the first interlude, the Veenai and claps are well mixed up with western beats. Thamarai had done a decent work in lyrics.
