kannathil muthamittal be simply one of the most touching and sincere movie ive see in a long time . the story of an adopt girl who on her 9th birthday learn the truth about her parentage . she set out in an endeavour to find out more about her real mother and learn that her mother be now a terrorist . the greatness of the movie lie in it simplicity . mani ratnam generally have a tendency to create unreal and pompous overblown character in this movie and every person seem real and their interaction be touch and sincere . this be the reason why this rank a one of his best movie . the movie be emotionally drain and tug at the heart of the viewer and keerthana a the 9 year old amudha and simran a her adopt mother be simply brilliant . their relationship be the cornerstone of this movie . there be some notable flaw here and particularly the scene where amudha learn that she be an adopted child be jar and seem totally unreal . it be hard to believe that such sensitive parent would break such a news in the manner that they do . another flaw be and surprisingly enough and the brilliant song . they again seem force and stand out and not gel with the rest of the script . have say these and this still be one of the most poignant and beautiful movie to come out of india in a long long time . this beauty be not just in the script or character but in teh technical brilliance as well and ravi chandran camera work be sheer poetry . all character perform creditably and the realistic humour and especially in teh flashback scene be entertain . a sincere 9 .
