The wait will be over soon. After being under production for nearly two years, Adhu Oru Kanakalam is releasing this month. Other than Shankar’s Anniyan we have not seen a release from any of the big gun directors this year so naturally expectations are sky high for this Balu Mahendra film. This is what Mahendra has to say on the film," Each film of mine had some shortcoming but this time everything has come out the right way”.
Details of the film's story are sketchy but it is said to be the story of an unemployed youth (Dhanush), whose life turns topsy-turvy due to a decision his father takes. Dhanush, who I believe is potentially the best among the young actors, is back with what could be a career-defining role, after a spate of forgettable roles. Says the director on his performance in the film, "Dhanush is an extraordinary actor and has given his best for the movie. I hope it would be a movie that would take him to a different league."
The supporting cast includes Priya Mani, who plays the daughter of a maidservant, Delhi Ganesh and Thalai Vasal Vijay. Music by Isaigyani Ilayaraaja has been received well by the public and 'Anda Nal Gnyabagam’ and ‘Katuvazhi’ are potential classics. It is known that Mahendra has been ill for a while and so this may be his last film. This is also the first time that Dhanush is working with a senior filmmaker. It is exciting to think how a veteran would have handled this sensitive actor whose talent has remained untapped after Kadhal Konden.All the above factors have made Adhu Oru…the movie I am looking forward to most this year and I am willing to bet it will be the best Tamil film of the year.

This Year’s That Movie

yes, over buildup dhan
I'm not betting so much on this film. Balu was good in eightees and, like Barathiraja, is over the hill now. His last few films are any indicators, Athu might just get added to the already piled up trash of Dhanush flicks.
Watch out for Thavamai Thavamirundu from Cheran. I reckon that's the best film title in recent years.
i am betting on BM on this one!
I liked the songs..especially the ones you have mentioned. I like Balu for his story telling ability and his photography. Sullan-Dhanush..no...no way. I am not sure why you think he is the best young actor around.
His first movie IMHO was a big piece of luck. ! If that succeeded why didn't they come up with stereotypes and why everything has failed.!
That said, I wish him well too. Let's see how this much awaited Balu Movie goes.!
@siddharth
BM is a great director.he used to make god movies. but not all of them are commerically successful.
Dhanush..
he acted ok in Kadhal kondein.
to be an established star in Tamil cinema, acting alone is not sufficient.
he shud be capable of giving mass films without directors backing( like Kadhal konden)
KK ran bcos of the script. not for dhanush.
so dhanush hardly has that personality
I held this view when everybody was saying he is a sensation.

'Athu oru kana kaalam' has become an underdog now. Expectations are lower compared to much hyped 'Ghajini' (a 10 crore project!!!). Which one is going to win? Need to wait and watch... Thanu's 'Thotti Jaya' is also getting ready....
