IMDbAadhi (Sharwa), the protagonist of Kanam, is someone who is unable to go over the death of his mother in an accident, just as Pazham, the protagonist of the most current Thiruchitrambalam. They also have a somewhat damaged connection with their respective fathers, which is another element in common. In fact, the opening sequences of both films share a feeling of similarity: a car travelling along a long stretch of road and a driver who is preoccupied with a message. However, other from the fact that they are both feel-good pictures, the parallels end here. Given that the basic idea of time travel entails desire fulfilment and nostalgia, time travel films already contain plenty of drama and excitement. Shreekarthick is conscious of this. He doesn't go overboard with the nostalgia, only providing us with a few era markers (one moment in particular, when the three friends cry while watching a Nirma commercial on TV, makes us grin) and '90s footage of the city to create the atmosphere. Even though the three friends end up in the past, the filmmaker manages to bring a few characters from the 1990s to the present. This is his cleverest plot device, and it also gives the time-travel idea some new life. Ritu Varma, who portrays Adhi's lover, and Ravi Raghavendra, who plays Adhi's father, are among the supporting cast members who provide strong performances. Composer Jakes Bejoy's rich soundtrack masterfully lifts the emotional beats and guarantees that we are impacted by the time we reach the conclusion.
