REVIEW
 
Koditta Idangalai Nirappuga is the second movie to be released in Kollywood this Pongal, the first one being Vijay's Bairavaa. The Parthiepan-directed film hit the screens on Saturday, January 14. He has jointly produced the movie in association with Chandramohan under the banners of Bioscope Film Framers and Reel Estate Company.
Shanthanu Bhagyaraj plays the protagonist in Koditta Idangalai Nirappuga. Parvathy Nair will be seen as the female lead in the movie while Thambi Ramaiah and others play supporting roles. Yesteryear actress Simran will also be seen in a special role.
 
The film features cinematography by Arjun Jena, and R Sudharshan's editing. The music, composed by C Sathya, has already become popular, with songs like En Oruthiye, KiluKilu Payaai and Damukaatlaan Dumukaatalaa becoming instant hits.
 
STORY
 
Rangarajan is a taxi driver who is rendered with a walking difficulty due to an accident, but that does not hinder with his profession. The shrewd, clever and calculative person that he is, he can speak in five languages and his spoken English is his speciality. His young wife Mohini (Parvathy Nair) adores him, but their marriage is not consummated. When he brings the young NRI Kevin (Shanthnu) to stay in the guest house where he and his wife are caretakers, and Kevin is besotted by Mohini , one begins to sit up. Whether Rangarajan lets Kevin get close to his wife or not is the twist in the tale.
 
PERFORMANCE
 
Parthiban excels with his trademark comedy, and single-handedly brings the roof down with his English. “Obama’s maximum and minimum and his service to Obama’s sister,” can make you giggle non-stop. We are used to Parthiban’s witty Tamil jokes but in KIN we get a taste of his English jokes.
 
Shanthnu, who looks suave and fit, KIN gives him no scope to perform. He ends up looking like a kid who feels lost in an adult party. His is a measured performance. His teleconversations with a ‘love guru’ (Simran) are contrived, and add nothing to the narrative. Parvathy as the young wife who speaks only in Malayalam, switches to textbook Tamil later, which seems incongruent. We are not even sure what is Thambi Ramaiah doing in this film.
 
To sum, Koditta Idangalai Nirappuga tried to satisfy audience but the routine story failed to do so. Parthiepan touted KIN as the film with many mistakes, and as he said, the film has lot of mistakes.
