Kanmani Unakkaga is a 1999 Indian Tamil-language action thriller film, directed by the duo Ravi-Raja. The film stars Ishaq Hussaini and Suvaluxmi, while Senthil and Jennifer portrayed supporting roles. It was released on 7 November 1999.[1]
Production
Ishaq Hussaini appeared in a series of films in the late 1990s and early 2000s, often scripting and producing his own films. After getting an average response to Jayam (1999), he reunited with the same director duo, Ravi-Raja, to make the family drama film, Kanmani Unakkaga.[2]
Soundtrack
Music was composed by Pradeep Ravi.[3]
Release and reception
The film was censored with a UA certificate, with two cuts.[4] Malathi Rangarajan of The Hindu wrote "Beginning the film with a bang is appreciable but the challenge lies in keeping the interest of the viewer sustained – and when scenes are protracted beyond a point they could tire the audience. Kanmani Unakkaga does."[5] A critic from Chennai Online wrote "The script loses direction in the second half. A lot of sentiment is thrown in, too many villains crop up, and somewhere along the way the audience loses interest."[6]
