#3YearsofKaatruVeliyidai #KaatruVeliyidai I know a lot of people hated the film. Even if we assume the scenes are boring, the direction flat, the songs nothing exceptional, it's a superb film when it comes to the characterization of its two leads.
Since we travel with these two characters, Mani Ratnam tells the story of a guy who resists love and a girl who wants love (one-line of the movie).

Mani Ratnam takes this complicated one-liner and expands it into a messier relationship between a stone-like person and a sand-like person that transcends boundaries (literally). #KaatruVeliyidai
There is a why behind VC being VC (his profession that teaches to think with head over heart, his upbringing, etc.) and a why behind Leela getting attracted to VC from the beginning. #KaatruVeliyidai
Tamil romance movies (the nice ones) and supposedly 'woke' Twitter males don't give us a complete picture of men. I know a lot of men hated the film more than the women. But, how many Indian movies show flawed men on screen? #KaatruVeliyidai
I am not talking about corrupt people like a con man, serial killer, etc., but men who are kind to you when you meet them for the first time but have the inner demons they need to overcome. #KaatruVeliyidai
It's a movie that's not complete but is nevertheless fascinating. It's incredible that Mani Ratnam made this complex relationship drama as a mainstream film.
