Kaanekkaane Review: A Very Gently Paced Drama!

Manu Ashokan’s Kaanekkaane is a slow-burn family drama that revolves around the life of Allen, Paul Mathai, and the people around them after the events of the accidental death of one of their beloved ones. Suraj Vengaramoodu and Tovino Thomas handle the pivotal role alongside Aishwarya Lekshmi and Sruthi Ramachandran. Produced by T R Shamsudeen, this 120-minute drama portrays the battle of a father and son-in-law who shares grave losses and agony within themselves.

Allen (Tovino Thomas) is having a troublesome life after his marriage to Sneha (Aishwarya Lekshmi) after he faces the loss of his loveable wife, Sherin (Sruthi Ramachandran) in an accident. Paul Mathai (Suraj Vengaramoodu), the father of Sherin, is into the hit-and-run accident of his daughter seeking legal action. His insights start showing burning the relationship of Allen and Sneha from within. What would these will turn up?

On the outline, the drama looks very ordinary, except for few positive thoughts, Kaanekkaane didn’t have much to offer. The script was mediocre and the writer duo Bobby-Sanjay fall short of providing an intriguing experience. With an average script, the director had created few good moments, that show the value of the relationships and his style of approach, still standing as much as he has done in his previous movie Uyare.

On the technical side, cinematography by Alby Antony and edits by Abhilash Balachandran were conventional. Except for a song, the BGM and music by Ranjin Raj were not up to mark and failed to match the mood of the movie.


Suraj Vengaramoodu was exemplary in portraying the varied emotions that connected well with the storyline. In creating a cloud around the persona of Allen, Tovino Thomas performed with perfection. Aishwarya Lekshmi pictured the different phases of the relationship struggles with ease and she carried the right mood of the movie towards the end.

Overall, Kaanekkaane is a very gentle-paced drama, that didn’t have much to offer with the storyline or anything extraordinary of any sort! Watch ‘Kaanekkaane’ on Sony LIV here.
