Cast: Vitharth, Samskruthi, Muthukumar, Samuthirakani, Thambi Ramaiah, Naren, Singam PuliDirection: Stalin RamalingamGenre: DramaDuration: 2 hours 26 minutes
Synopsis: Velu agrees to take the blame and go to jail for smuggling sandalwood to save his friend Karuna, whose aim in life is to become a forest officer. When Karuna's true colours come out, can Velu save the forest and its people?
Movie Review: Right from the beginning, when we see a dedication to all naturalists and nature lovers, Kaadu makes it intentions clear. It wants to be a hard-hitting tale on the mindless manner in which we, humans, are destroying our forests. And to make this point, it gives us the story of Velu, who sells firewood that he collects from the forest to the people in the locality. His friend Karuna aspires to be a forest officer but being poor, he is unable to cough up the bribe that is needed by the selectors. In an act of desperation, he tries to smuggle sandalwood for an agent but gets caught. He requests Velu to take his place so as to not ruin his chances of getting his dream job. The amiable Velu agrees not realizing that his friend might not be the man he is posing to be. When Karuna, as a forest officer, tries to take over the forest for his personal gains by driving away the people of the forest, can Velu stop him?
Stalin Ramalingam definitely has a vision, but there are so many detours in his plot that make the journey long and winding a bit.
