The wait for those sparks to fly seems endless in Krishnakumar's 'Kaanchi', which tells the tale of Madhavan (Indrajith), who runs a grocery shop and is betrothed to Gauri (Archana Gupta). One fine morning, he bears witness to a gruesome murder being committed by Peringodan (Murali Gopy), a dreaded gangster, and finds his life changed in ways that he had never expected it to.
Jayamohan, who had enthralled us with his intricate script in 'Ozhimuri' disappoints us this time in 'Kaanchi'. For one, the story is one that we have seen in Bollywood films of yore; the ones in which the naive youngster who keeps himself determinedly away from the world of crime, is lured into it by destiny.
What makes 'Kaanchi' a faintly different attempt is the role that the revolver plays in it. Providence, and at times doom, looms large over your head all the time. And when it starts following you around, it gets a bit creepy. The idea sounds quite interesting, but I wouldn't say it has succesffuly transacted itself on to the big screen in 'Kaanchi'.
Creepiness is one things and believability is another. When a revolver decides to end your life, I guess there is nothing much that you can do about it. Especially since it 's hot on your trail, and lies waiting for you overhead, so that just as your head comes around the corner it can press the trigger, or get someone else perhaps to do the job.
