While watching Agathiyan's 'Kadhal Kottai' one could get numerous feelings. If you were a youngster in 1996, it would be a sweet reminder of how love was conceived in the pre-social media era. It is quite natural for a movie to connect you to your youthful days. But how does this Ajith starrer connect with the 90s and 2k kids?
An 'unseen' love
Love without seeing your partner's face? How is it even possible when it is unofficially reported that 99% of love occurs due to the physical obsession of the opposite sex? In 'Kadhal Kottai', Ajith Kumar and Devayani, the lead pair loves each other without even seeing the face. It happens due to the 'help' done by Ajith to Devayani without expecting anything in return. But he gets back the love of Devayani. There are people who are seriously involved in long-distance relationships today, thanks to the growth of technology. Whether the relationship is successful or not lies in the way they 'treat' their love.
Love Medium
It is always tough to convey love directly to the partner. People are often in search of a medium to work as an intermediary either out of fear or due to a lack of confidence. When Surya (Ajith) and Kamali (Devayani) loved, they used 'letter' as their medium of communication. Today, the options are many. We have Facebook, WhatsApp, Instagram, and so on to communicate love. But the 'fear' to talk to a woman remains the same.
The Mediator
Thalaivasal Vijay's role in 'Kadhal Kottai' was a sensation. As Paneer, the Auto Driver, he supports the hero morally and even goes to the extent of securing him an Auto Driver job. The need for friends in making love successful is universal. How much ever you try to do it all in your 'own', life will keep insisting you the need to have a reliable friend by your side to keep the proceedings alive. Through conference calls, text messages, love ideas, and (if required) face-off with parents on either side, a friend keeps showing that he/she is there for you.
'Meeting' another girl
When you do strange things like making a long-distance love without seeing your girl/boy, it is not easy to hold on to it as you 'meet' a lot of people every day in real life. It is natural to get attracted to your friend, colleague, or neighbor. Heera loves Ajith so deeply in 'Kadhal Kottai'. She is his beautiful multimillionaire boss. She loves him madly and wants to marry him. What more can a guy ask for? He could have married her and owned a luxurious life. But he didn't. He stands his ground and keeps up his promise to the girl he hasn't met at all. In any decade, at any level of technological excellence, being true to your partner is the only major secret to have a successful love life.
Build your own Kingdom of Love and feel the fascination.
