The only way you can be invested in the lives of these youngsters caught in the vicious world of ' kandhu vatti' is if the proceedings are compelling. The set-up is interesting, no doubt, but the making is uninspired. Podhu Nalan KarudhiВ is about how the lives of these three couples, or rather of these three heroes, get affected by the turf wars between Uthiram and Babu Jain. SheВ does get a 'redemption' scene though when an unlikely ally steps up for her choices.В Anu Sithara has it worst of the three sheВ plays Karunakaran's love interest - the stereotypical nagging girlfriend, who doesn't understand the problems of the hero. Subhiksha, meanwhile, plays Adith's love interestВ who doesn't believe in the institution of marriage, and naturally she is painted as a you-know-what. A promising start, but she makes up for it by vanishingВ soon after.

The first time we meet Leesha, who plays Santhosh's love interest, she is handing him her marriage invitation card and in return, asks him to kiss her like only he can. When the heroes themselves are one-note, you can imagine the plight of the leading ladies. Considering this film is about loan sharks, the reason behind his dissapearanceВ isn't exactly unfathomable, but director Zion does manage to pull off a surprisingly effective twist, which is probably the only well-written portion of this film. Karunakaran sort of manages to walk the tight ropeВ as a frustrated man searching for his elder brother, who has been missing for the past two years. These others includeВ Santhosh Prathap asВ Napoleon, a trusted henchman of Uthiram, who sacrifices his love for loyalty Thangamagan-fame Adith Arun as Vasan, in so inconsequential a role, that it mades you wonder about the reasoning behind actors signing certain films and Karunakaran in a serious role that requires him to either look angry or lost. Come to think of it, Yog Japee gets aВ role with better definition than all the rest of the cast put together. He considers Hitler and Idi Amin as his role models, and keeps watching lions preying on other animals on Nat Geo. HeВ has trust issues, doesn't believe in the institution of marriage, bumps off any prospective aspirants to his throne, and values loyalty but isn't bound by it. While bothВ make an impact on the storyline, UthiramВ (Yog Japee) gets the more fleshed out character.

Their henchmen manage to not kill each other by keeping to their respective turfs. UthiramВ and Babu JainВ areВ cut-throat loan sharks,В who finance the entire city.
