‘Kanam’ (‘Oke Oka Jeevitham’) review: A lovely time-travel film with emotional beats working wonders
The HinduEven before the birth of cinema, artists and storytellers have always seen humankind's endless fascination with time as a great narrative tool. Debutant director Shree Karthick's Kanam is one such attempt that refrains from using time travel as a mere gimmick. Kanam Director: Shree Karthick Cast: Sharwanand, Amala Akkineni, Ritu Varma, Ramesh Tilak, Sathish Runtime: 157 minutes Storyline: Three friends dealing with three distinct problems get a chance to travel back in time and change their lives Three friends, Aadhi, Pandi, and Kadhir get a second chance at life after a chance encounter with a reclusive scientist Paul, who offers to send them back 20 years in time in return for a favour. Also, nobody knows how someone will react when they see their late mother after 20 years, or the emotional heft of going back to one's school days and meeting their old selves. Though Ritu Varma, who plays Aadhi's girlfriend Vaishnavi, doesn't get much screen time, her character proves vital in retrospect.
