REVIEW
Anand took teen crush as the central point for his debut directorial venture, Kanna, set in Coimbatore. Annapoorni (Sheela) is the apple of the eye of a rich businessman Raghunath (Prakash Raj), and Jaya (Seetha). Poorni goes on an educational tour to Ooty and meets a florist Kanna (Telugu actor Raja, debut in Tamil). After a misunderstanding, she realises that she has developed a liking towards him. She returns to Coimbatore after the study tour. Kanna is not aware of her love nor does he nurse any such ideas. One day she learns that her classmate has flown down to Chennai to be with her boyfriend on his birthday and returned by the next flight to attend the class, Poorni too decides to go to Ooty on her friend’s bike for Kanna’s birthday since it is just a two-hour journey. But on the way the bike breaks down. Undaunted she makes an adventurous journey to Ooty. Back home, her worried father whose world revolves around her searches for her everywhere. In Ooty, a whole new world of experience is awaiting Annapoorni.
The whole film revolves around two characters Sheela and Prakash Raj. Needless to say, that the experienced Prakash Raj plays the loving and worried father to the hilt. Sheela throws a surprise by a well-etched performance as the infatuation-ridden girl especially in the second half when she encounters strange experiences that she was never exposed to till then and the mental transformation she undergoes in the end when she hides herself in the truck from Kanna. Raja makes a dignified presence. Sona Nair as the science teacher and Livingstone as Asirvadam provide the lighter moments. Tajmal’s camera and Ranjit Barot’s background score sets the right mood throughout.
