Release date: 14 February, 2025
Indian films are far away about equal sex love. People with correct depiction of lesbians are even less. Director Jayaprakash Radhakrishnan’s recent release, Kadhal Enbadhu Podhu Udmai, is the latest entry in the list of films on Quir Love. Starring Lijomol, Anusha Prabhu, Vinath and Rohini, the film is a deep moving and heart -wrenching film about love that goes beyond boundaries, social acceptance, prejudice and personal trauma.
Kadal Enbadhu Podhu Udmai begins with Sam (Lijomol Jose), with a heartfelt chat with her mother Lakshmi (Rohini Moleti). She admits that she is in love and Lakshmi suggests that she should take a ‘man’ home for lunch on Sunday. Lakshmi informed her husband Devraj (Vinith) and asked them to join them.
It comes on Sunday and Rabindra (Kalesh Ramanand) and Nandini (Anusha Prabhu) visit Sam’s house. Lakshmi gets a shock of her life when Sam revealed that she is in love with Nandini and not with Ravindra, as she suspects. Lakshmi and Devraj struggle to understand the love of Sam and Nandini and ashamed them for their sexuality. Parents trying to separate the rest of the film’s parents are about the tough communication, social taboo and social acceptance around sexuality, gay and lesbians.
Director Jayaprakash Radhakrishnan’s Kadal Enbadhu Podhu Udamai is a heartbreaking film about a sensitive subject. At a time when many big budget commercial films are resorting to gay/gay jokes, Kadhal Enbadhu Podhu is a wonderful departure about love beyond Udamai borders. In a 1 -hour and 40 -minute runtime, the film is a crisp case study on a gay couple, with their parents’ orthodox ideologies, help an assistant colleague and understanding house.

The biggest strength of Kadhal Enbadhu … lies in its simplicity. This dialogue or scenes are staged, director Jayaprakash Radhakrishnan pushes the envelope to think of the audience. It does not feed the audience a spoon or spreads in a preacher route. There are many scenes to choose and praise. The film, hardly with a handful of characters, completely offers flash-outs people with flaws.
While Lakshmi is an inspiring speaker on YouTube, she is the first time to react aggressively when Sam accepts her love. His father, Devraj, who claims to answer all questions, seems to have no concrete answer to equal-lingo relations. This is SAM and Nandini’s unwavering belief in each other that allows them to interact with SAM’s parents about conservative views. These conversations are so intense that they trigger a string of ideas. In one scene, Sam carelessly tells his mother that her relationship with her father is the same as she has with Nandini.
After Mamuti’s Kathl – The Core, Kadhal Enbadhu Podhu Udamai is still another film which is a worthy addition to films on similar -sex love. Lizomol Jose, as Fisty Sam, is an incarnation of love. She does not hesitate to take the first step in her relationship and gives her parents a chance to understand their love. Anusha Prabhu has a brilliant depiction of a woman in Nandini love. She knows what stakes she has and is an approach to hard conversation with restraint. When she initially loses her cool, she realizes and changes it. His painful flashback keeps a mirror for the society and how do parents ignore their child’s sexuality. Kalesh Ramanand’s Ravindra is a right colleague who can have a gay couple. And the position of Househell Mary reduces the huge depiction of the film’s comedy film.
Rohini’s Lakshmi is a mother who struggles between preaching and practicing, while Vinath’s Devraj is a person who will not allow her child to continue her relationship with her partner. His depiction adds so much authenticity in maintaining Kadhal Enbadhu Podhu Udamai realistic and grounded.
In addition to the demonstrations, cinematographer Shri Saravanan’s magnificent frame and soothing lighting and taut of editor Dani Charles increased editing director Jayaprakash Radhakrishnan.
Kadal is an intense film on Enbadhu Podhu Udmai Quir Love, Trauma and Social Approval. See out for beautiful and thoughtful climax that avoids offering a solution. The acceptance is the solution.
