The village girl who is judged brutally by the outside world the fair upper caste girls versus the impoverished local ponnu Hindi versus Tamil, so on and so forth. The film starts slipping into stereotypes post interval. The friction too appears forced and all you get are the village men and woman laughing awkwardly around her parents, dropping hints about their audacious daughterвЂ™s way of life.

But this intricacy is missing in the writing. And here is this young girl who is breaking the glass ceiling by entering a predominantly male sport. From trying to line up her reluctant classmates, to stealthily watching the boys of a local cricket team on the field, to winning them over with her enthusiasm, there is an authenticity in the way she picks up the game familiarising herself with the ball, imitating their posture and eventually becoming one among them.Д«ut the film is also about a village, where women are only considered fit to cook and work in the fields. In fact, the part where young Kousu (the younger Aishwarya is brilliant casting) initiates herself into cricket is superbly done. But thankfully, the narrative never gets cushioned in this father-daughter bond. When she sees him sobbing after a defeat, she decides to pursue cricket, just so she can bring his smile back. KanaaВ starts with promise, telling the tale of a cricket fanatic father (Sathyaraj) who makes his daughter, Kousu (Aishwarya Rajesh) sit next to him as he believes her to be lucky for India. Kanaa,В the story of village girl Kausalya, who aspires to be a cricketer, does fall into that trap but a few competent performances and well-crafted cricket scenes save the film from becoming an entirely middling experience. The narrative tends to follows a familiar pattern too: sketching the protagonistвЂ™s journey that begins on a promising note, skids into a dullness and ends in festive chorus. Stories of triumphant underdogs, especially in sport, have this tendency to pile on clichГ©s.
