Director Vignesh Shivan^/s Kaathuvaakula Rendu Kaadhal aims to be a romantic comedy with a fun concept at its core. It is about **Rambo **(played by **Vijay Sethupathi**), who is made to think that he is the unluckiest person in this world. And he feels lucky when he falls in love with two women, **Kanmani Ganguly** (played by **Nayanthara**) and **Khatija **(played by **Samantha**), at the same time. Basically, he^/s two-timing, but he has a ^/reason^/ for it.

If you ask, what^/s the fun concept here, then you^/re right. There is not. This is a morally flawed concept that has translated into ^/iconic^/ films in the last few decades. Kaathuvaakula Rendu Kaadhal is no different from several love triangle films that came out in the past.

**Vignesh Shivan** is known for building quirky worlds in his films. In **Kaathuvaakula Rendu Kaadhal**, we see a family full of single people because the village thinks that those who get married into the family will die. Vijay Sethupathi^/s Rambo also belongs to the same family. His father dies on the day Rambo is born. And the entire village thinks it is because of him. His mother suffers from a stroke and is bedridden. Rambo thinks that his mother will not recuperate if he^/s with her and runs away from his home. Years later, he is a cab driver and when he meets Kanmani and Khatija, he falls in love with both of them.

Rambo says that he loves them equally and whenever he^/s forced to choose one among them, he falters. So sweet, isn^/t it? But, it really isn^/t. Kaathuvaakula Rendu Kaadhal is no different from all Selvaraghavan^/s films where the heroine needs to babysit the hero and heal him. In this film, not one, but two women babysit a manchild.

Kaathuvaakula Rendu Kaadhal has several morally flawed concepts which get cringe-y as you delve deep into them. It is also like a bunch of WhatsApp forwards put together. You get to see platonic love between the trio, a character explaining what ^/jinx^/ means, and random social messages about mentally-challenged people. But, everything is stitched together only to make Rambo think he^/s lucky in this world.

**Vijay Sethupathi, Samantha, and Nayanthara** have delivered strong performances and it is them who are holding the ship from sinking. The comedy sequences work well and the three actors were a complete hoot. It was Redin Kingsley who stole the show in Kaathuvaakula Rendu Kaadhal. Watch out for a scene in the second half where he tries to convince a woman to come out of her house.
