Kalyani Priyadarshan’s review of Dulquer Salmaan’s Kaantha

Kalyani wrote that she went to watch Kaantha without knowing much about the film and came out moved. She wrote, “This might always be my favourite @dqsalmaan performance (and for those who know me. That’s saying a lot). Went in knowing almost nothing and came out moved. And I can’t help it…I get extra excited when Dulquer speaks Tamil on the big screen (I know how much he loves the language and how deep that connection runs).”
Alongside Dulquer, she also praised Samuthirakani, Bhagyashri Borse and Rana Daggubati’s performances, writing, “@thondankani sir. I thought I would only be cheering for DQ’s lines but I was cheering for yours too! @bhagyashriborse…as I told you…my eyes go straight to you on screen no matter who else is there (heart eyes emoji). And @ranadaggubati always love watching you doing what you do best (love emoji).”
Kalyani also praised the director, Selvaraj Selvamani and music composer, Jakes Bejoy, for their work. She rounded off the review with, “Even the others! Perfect casting. So happy for everyone who poured their heart into the film. (red heart and clapboard emojis).”
