Kaathuvaakula Rendu Kaadhal (transl. Two loves in a breeze) is a 2022 Indian Tamil-language romantic comedy film written and directed by Vignesh Shivan, and produced by S. S. Lalit Kumar under Seven Screen Studio. It stars Vijay Sethupathi, Nayanthara and Samantha alongside Prabhu, Kala Master, Redin Kingsley, Lollu Sabha Maaran and Shihan Hussaini. The film follows Rambo, a perpetually unlucky man whose luck changes when he falls in love with two women.

The film was officially announced in 2016 under the official title. However, Shivan and Sethupathi began working on other projects. Until, in 2020, after Shivan's film with Sivakarthikeyan was shelved, he revisited the script and began production that year. Principal photography commenced in December 2020. It was shot in several locations including Chennai, Hyderabad, Pondicherry, Mysore, and wrapped by late-March 2022. The film has music composed by Anirudh Ravichander, cinematography jointly handled by S. R. Kathir with Vijay Kartik Kannan and editing by A. Sreekar Prasad.

Kaathuvaakula Rendu Kaadhal was released theatrically on 28 April 2022. It received mixed reviews from critics and audiences, who praised the performances of the main cast, soundtrack and background score but criticized the outdated script, length and climax. Despite mixed reviews the film was financially successful, grossing over ₹70 crore (US$8.4 million) at the box office.

Plot

Ranjankudi Anbarasu Murugesa Boopathy Ohondhiran, known as Rambo, is born into a family that is subject to a curse that states that anyone that marries into the family will die. Rambo's father, determined to break the curse, marries a local teacher named Minah Kaif while his brothers and sister remain unmarried. However, the curse strikes when Rambo's father accidentally slips from a tower and dies announcing his son's birth. Minah suffers a stroke shortly after and becomes paralysed.

Rambo's uncles, aunt, and the whole village believe that the birth of Rambo has brought bad luck that his father tried so hard to fight. Rambo grows up believing that he emanates bad luck wherever he goes. When his mother suffers a seizure in his presence, he runs away from the village for good, believing that his proximity to her makes her ill.

Rambo takes on two jobs to earn a living. During the day, he works as a cab driver. At night, Rambo works as a bouncer at a pub. He meets Khatija Begum at the pub and the two develop a friendship. One day, Rambo confronts Khatija's violent boyfriend, Mohammed Mobi, after he slaps her. Khatija breaks up with Mohammed and begins spending more time with Rambo.

While driving his cab, Rambo also meets Kanmani Ganguly, a saleswoman who raises her younger sister Minmini and her differently-abled brother, Bhargav. Kanmani attempts to find a husband who would allow her siblings to live with her after marriage, but to no avail. Both Khatija and Kanmani develop feelings for Rambo, which Rambo reciprocates, and both women propose to him on the same day. Though Rambo is surprised that two fabulous women have fallen for him, he quickly realises that only their love has turned his bad luck around for good, so he accepts both of their proposals.

Not knowing how to proceed with his double love life, he gets help from Prabhu, a reality show host, who makes Rambo concoct a story that he has a memory disorder that makes him forget events that happened during the day and night alternately. The ruse falls apart when Rambo reveals that he has memories of both women and is equally in love with both; it is up to them to sacrifice their love for the other person. Both Kanmani and Khatija refuse to do so and stand by their decision to marry Rambo. The three move in together, and though both women dislike each other at first, after the unexpected death of Khatija's father, they strike up a friendship. The two women find out from a friend of Rambo's that the reality show was staged and kick him out of the house.

Rambo's friend asks them to travel to the village one last time to see Rambo's mother, who is seriously ill. Rambo decides not to go back as he fears his presence could worsen her condition. When he is forced to go, his mother miraculously recovers, leading the village to believe Rambo's presence now brings good luck. They beg both Khatija and Kanmani to marry Rambo so the family's curse can be broken and all his aunts and uncles can get married. The women eventually agree and host a wedding ceremony for not only Rambo but also his entire family.

After the rest of the family is married, Khatija and Kanmani walk out of the wedding, each sacrificing their love so the other person can marry Rambo. A year later, the three meet again, with Rambo saying that their relationship was enough to break the curse. After the two women leave, Rambo shocks his neighbour by telling him that Katrina Kaif has started chatting with Rambo as his new girlfriend. Rambo tosses his phone and leaves, leaving an unaware Katrina waiting for him online.

Production

Development

In 2016, Vignesh Shivan announced that Vijay Sethupathi would play the lead role in his next film; Anirudh Ravichander was reported to score the music, marking Sethupathi and Anirudh's second collaboration with Vignesh after Naanum Rowdy Dhaan. Produced by A. M. Rathnam, the film was supposed to go into production in August 2016, until Vignesh decided to remake the Hindi-language film Special 26 (2013) for his new project, the Suriya-starrer Thaanaa Serndha Koottam (2018) and also to work with Sivakarthikeyan for another film produced by Lyca Productions, which came under the tentative title #SK17.

After #SK17 was shelved, Vignesh decided to revisit the script with the same cast and crew members. On Valentine's Day 2020, Vignesh announced the film officially under the same title Kaathuvaakula Rendu Kaadhal, reporting that he will produce the film under his own banner, Rowdy Pictures, along with Lalit Kumar of Seven Screen Studios. Nayanthara and Samantha were officially announced as the female leads. It was touted as being a love triangle story.

Casting

The film was initially announced with Nayanthara and Trisha starring. However, due to Trisha's exit from the project citing scheduling conflicts, Samantha Ruth Prabhu was later announced as the female lead in February 2020. This film marked the third collaboration of Vijay Sethupathi and Nayanthara after Vignesh's Naanum Rowdy Dhaan (2015) and Imaikkaa Nodigal (2018), where Sethupathi appeared in a cameo role, and his second collaboration with Samantha after Super Deluxe (2019). Anirudh Ravichander was announced as the music director, after having regularly collaborated with Vignesh, since Naanum Rowdy Dhaan. Vijay Kartik Kannan, who was initially announced as the cinematographer left the project after completing two schedules of the film, due to date clashes and was replaced by S. R. Kathir. The film marked the debut of Shweta Sabu Cyril (daughter of art director Sabu Cyril), who joined the film's team as the production designer.

Vignesh Shivan announced through his Instagram on 21 March 2021 (World Down Syndrome Day), that 15-year old Bhargav Sundar, who has Down syndrome, would be joining the cast. In December 2021, former Indian cricketer S. Sreesanth was announced to be making his acting debut in Tamil with this film. In the first look released on 15 November, Vignesh revealed the names of the Sethupathi, Nayanthara and Samantha's characters as Rambo, Kanmani and Khatija respectively. It was announced in December 2021 that dance choreographer Kala Master would make her acting debut with the film, as part of the film's supporting cast.

Filming

Principal photography was supposed to start in April 2020 but was delayed due to the COVID-19 lockdown in India. That May, the production house announced that filming would begin that August. On 10 December 2020, the team officially kickstarted the film's production in Chennai, with principal photography from 14 December followed by Vijay Sethupathi's arrival in Hyderabad. After the film's first schedule completed within a month, Samantha officially joined the film's sets from January 2021 in Chennai as a part of their second schedule. On 10 February 2021, Vignesh announced that the shooting of the second schedule wrapped.

By August 2021, shooting was happening in Pondicherry. On 23 August 2021, a video from the shooting spot was surfaced into the internet. It had the lead actors recreating the song "Valai Osai" from Sathyaa (1988), where the actors also wore costumes similar to that song. With more than 90% of the film's shooting being completed, the makers began post-production activities for the film, with dubbing works beginning during early-December 2021. On 7 December, Vignesh kickstarted the final schedule of the film in Mysore. Principal photography wrapped on 30 March 2022.

Music

The film's seven-song soundtrack was composed by Anirudh Ravichander in his third collaboration with Vignesh as a director, after Naanum Rowdy Dhaan (2015) and Thaanaa Serndha Koottam (2018). It is also Anirudh's 25th film as a composer. The duo released the first single "Rendu Kaadhal" on 14 February 2021, Valentine's Day. Anirudh sang this song with female vocals accompanied by Shakthisree Gopalan and Aishwarya Suresh Bindra.

Though Vignesh Shivan announced that the second single would be released in July 2021 in an online interaction with fans, the song, which was later titled "Two Two Two," was eventually released on 18 September, which coincided with the director's birthday. This song also had vocals by Anirudh, along with female singers Sunidhi Chauhan and Sanjana Kalmanje. The track received positive response from music critics, and actresses Priyanka Chopra shared and praised the song through social media.

On 3 January 2022, the third single track "Naan Pizhai", which had vocals by Ravi G and Shashaa Tirupati was released. Ravi was approached to sing the track after Anirudh and Vignesh liked one of his covers during the lockdown. In an interview with Srinivasa Ramanujam of The Hindu, Ravi said "What's most heartening is that it is a melody, which itself is a difficult proposition for composers to churn out in this age of fast-paced peppy numbers. The opportunity to explore such melodies in the film music space is scarce. The first time I listened to the track version, I had goosebumps. That it has clicked with audiences is great news for musicians." The track crossed above 7 million views in YouTube within a week of its release there. On 20 April 2022, the fourth single "Dippam Dappam" was released, which had vocals by Anthony Daasan and Anirudh.

Reception

Box office

The film grossed over ₹70 crore (equivalent to ₹74 crore or US$8.9 million in 2023) in worldwide box office, becoming one of the highest-grossing Tamil films of the year.

Critical response

The film received mixed reviews. Soundarya Athimuthu of The Quint gave the rating 2.5 out of 5 stating that "The makers have hinted at it quite well because just like how Vijay Sethupathi as Rambo in the film smartly tries to justify cheating on two women at the same time, Director Vignesh Shivan with his quirky comedy, some beautifully placed emotional dialogues and heart touching lyrics also cheekily cheats the audience – making them believe that this is a one of a kind love story while all he did was, reimagine the rom-com genre by twisting the tale of the usual storyline – "two girls fight over a guy". But what feels somewhat good is that the hero is not completely rewarded at the end despite his mistakes as one would anticipate."

Manoj Kumar R of The Indian Express gave the film's rating 2 out of 5 stating that "The latent nature of adult comedy in this movie is a big turn off. This film aims to play into the wild fantasies of a lovelorn man by subtly sexualising the leading ladies. But, it's neither clean humour nor an outright adult comedy. It's a mess. The main reason is Vignesh's indecisiveness. He wants to keep the film safe for people to watch it with family. And at the same time, sprinkle it with just enough double meaning dialogues and scenes so that people get the hint. It also wants to be a combination of director C. S. Amudhan's Thamizh Padam, a spoof film, and Vignesh's 2015 hit Naanum Rowdy Dhaan. You can't have it both ways."

Logesh Balachandran from The Times of India gave 2.5 stars out of 5 stars and noted that "however manage only to recreate the same in parts.The mere presence of Vijay Sethupathi, Nayanthara and Samantha helps to elevate even ordinary scenes in spite of the sloppy writing. A single-shot scene in which Vijay Sethupathi delivers a lengthy dialogue again showcases the prowess of the actor and how a good actor can make a scene interesting." Srivatsan S from The Hindu noted that "Except for a few scattered laughs, this Vignesh Shivan directorial remains firmly bland despite featuring three brilliant actors"

However, Hindustan Times critic Haricharan Pudipeddi noted that "The film, nevertheless, is salvaged by decent comedy and Anirudh’s splendid music. Vijay Sethupathi is at his effortless best on screen, and alongside both Nayanthara and Samantha, we get some lovely moments between the trio. The film does feel dragged post interval but by the end, it makes up for the problematic plot." Avinash Ramachandran from Cinema Express gave 2.5 out of rating and said that "For almost half its running time, Kaathuvaakula Rendu Kaadhal explores the idea of a specific type of mental illness. Around halfway point, it seems like the film realises its folly and the makers dodged the ‘wrongful representation’ bullet.'The News Minute critic gave 2.5 stars out of 5 and said that "Vijay Sethupathi has done an admirable job in the role given to him. We only wish that when such a firecracker cast was brought together, the script was fitting for their talent."
