Kanave Kalayathae Simran - Movie Story, Review, Stills

The entire first half of the movie takes place in Punjab taking the viewer to places like the Golden Temple and Jalianwalla Bagh which haven't been seen before on the tamil screen. Unfortunately, the same originality does not extend to the movie itself which is pretty much run-of-the-mill.

Anand(Murali), a tamilian, and Amrutha(Simran), a Punjabi lass, are in love. To convince her parents to accept him, Anand moves to Punjab, renting a portion of Amrutha's house. He soon impresses other members of the household including her parents and her brother, a policeman. Even though revelation of the love affair initially angers the brother, he soon calms down and accepts Anand wholeheartedly.

But with preparations for the wedding going on, Amrutha, along with her entire family, is killed in a bomb blast engineered by an enemy of her brother. Anand returns to Chennai broken-hearted but spots Saradha(Simran) who looks exactly like Amrutha. She too has had her own sad past and friendship develops between them. They decide to marry but her past catches up with her unexpectedly.

The entire movie is completely predictable and the climax even more so.
