I Have Found It (Kandukondain Kandukondain) Reviews

• A beautiful film well worth discovering

  
  By A3KF4IP2MUS8QQ on 2005-10-30
  This Tamil-language "Kollywood" film provided an interesting contrast to the Bollywood films I have recently seen. There are differences between the two Indian cinema styles, although both present their stories in similar ways. Not only the language, but the gestures and facial expressions differ between this Tamil film and its Hindi cinematic cousins. Kandukondain Kandukondain (I Have Found It) didn't seem as flashy or energetic, and the music and dancing also seem to reflect a more subdued different style. As I was watching the film, I thought to myself that this was a four-star film, but once it ended and I began reflecting upon what I had just seen, I realized that I was more impressed than I thought. Inspired by Jane Austen's Sense and Sensibility, I Have Found It does deliver great drama and romance, wonderfully rich characters, and - of course - great entertainment of both mind and soul.
  
  This is basically the story of two sisters - one serious and pragmatic, the other wide-eyed and idealistic. Products of a good family, they enjoy an easy lifestyle, but all of that is put in jeopardy by the death of the girls' grandfather. Forced to leave their own home, they move to Madras and struggle to get by on almost nothing. The older daughter, Sowmya (Tabu), has trouble finding work because she is overqualified, and she is also burdened with the social stigma of being jinxed after the death of her fiancé and a string of reluctant suitors. She meets a young filmmaker in the most embarrassing of circumstances, but their possible marriage has to be delayed until such time as he makes his first film - and time and distance pose new problems that have Sowmya coming to believe that she truly is cursed in love. Meenakshi (Rai) is a hopeless romantic who fully expects the man born for her to ride in on a white horse and sweep her off her feet. She thinks she has found him in a flashy, brash stockbroker who can quote Bharathi, but he is besieged by severe financial problems and basically leaves her hanging for months on end. This is all rather disheartening to Major Bala, a family friend, who has fallen in love with her. Bala isn't a natural match for Meena; he's older, he lost a leg in the Sri Lankan campaign, and he has a tendency to turn all conversations to guns and fighting. No matter what his head tells him, though, he can't change his heart.
  
  The film runs about two and a half hours, which is almost short for Indian cinema, but it tells a beautiful, multi-layered story full of great drama. You don't witness the kind of passionate romance that Hindi films tend to portray, but there's a realism to this story that makes it special. Mahmooty is wonderful as Bala, a bitter man who really turns his life around because of Meena. Tabu's emotional performance as the unlucky Sowmya who almost gives up on love in the interest of practicality is also marvelous. Aishwarya Rai is, of course, absolutely wonderful as Meena, although I must admit I wasn't completely enamored with her character early on. Sowyma and Neena represent sense and sensibility in their individual characters, but it is a combination of both characteristics that will finally lead them to the romance each one dreams of.
  
  The film's music, composed by the brilliant A.R. Rahman, is excellent, although I much prefer the music of your typical Bollywood film. This music is just slightly different from what I'm used to - less energetic and heart-pounding. The music, like the film itself, just seems less energetic than what would find in a Bollywood offering. This isn't a bad thing, it's just different. As for the subtitles, I had no problem with them whatsoever. If there was any lag in my Kino DVD of this film, I surely didn't detect it. The bottom line is this: Kandukondain Kandukondain is a feast for the senses and an impassioned human drama. You just can't find storytelling like this in the canned movies coming out of Hollywood.
  
  

• A great introduction to contemporary Tamil cinema

  
  By A12NJTG4N6KBJP on 2005-03-10
  For those unfamiliar with Hindi and Tamil popular cinema, this Tamil film, directed by Rajiv Menon is a great introduction, featuring not only Aishwarya Rai but Mammoothy (the biggest actor of the Malayalam film industry), Tabu (playing Ms. Rai's sister, and who is typically seen in Hindi films) and an upbeat soundtrack by A.R. Rahman, lavishly shot by Mr. Menon. The counter-intuitive pairing of Mammoothy and Aishwarya Rai works, and the former in particular is fabulous as a one-legged (and embittered) veteran of India's Sri Lankan adventure. Mr. Menon handles his film deftly, and most viewers will probably not notice or mind its length, running close to three hours. For Bollywood fans who generally prefer to steer clear of Tamil cinema, this film is Exhibit "A" for how and why the Tamil film industry is producing some of the smartest, freshest, commercial cinema in India today, cinema which nevertheless remains true to its traditions. I wouldn't make too much of the notion that the film is an "adaptation" of Austen's novel; the two share a kinship, but no more (that is not a criticism of "Kandukondain Kandukondain," which does just fine with what it is). Wish I knew Tamil, as Vairamuthu's lyrics are fabulous in the Kino DVD's subtitles.
  Note: I have also viewed the Aingharan DVD of this title; the subtitles are much better in the Kino version, and the latter doesn't leave dialog untranslated as the Aingharan DVD occasionally does; plus the subtitles are of better quality, and the Aingharan DVD does not subtitle the songs. All in all one is better off spending the extra few bucks for the Kino version.
  
  

• Lovely adaptation of Sense and Sensibility

  
  By A2J5SOAQKNOGYW on 2005-01-29
  I don't watch a lot of Bollywood musicals, but I was intrigued by the premise of this one: loosely based on Jane Austen's Sense and Sensibility, and set in modern-day India, it follows the story of two sisters and the men who court them. Since I am a big Jane Austen fan, I simply had to see how this was done, and I am very glad I took a chance on this marvelous film.
  
  Beautiful costumes, great song-and-dance numbers and some gorgeous scenery--one scene appears to be shot in Egypt at the Pyramids, another at a Scottish castle. My only problem with the film is the hilariously bad subtitles, which start lagging about 30 seconds behind the action on screen around halfway through the film. I had to give up on them about three quarters of the way through the movie, but the story was easy to follow, and I didn't feel lost.
  
  Overall, an excellent film, and highly recommended.
  
  Edited to add that I should have rated the film 4 stars instead of just 3.
  
  

• This is not "Bollywood."

  
  By A3BD8STGDN1RT8 on 2005-10-06
  I am more than a little amazed at the brazen ethnocentrism of too many of the above reviewers. What is your definition of "Bollywood?" Any movie us Brown Folks star in? The first reviewer made an important distinction, this is mainly a Tamil film, a contrast to the usual Bollywood fare. Analogously, you wouldn't want to confuse the very different and sometimes very high quality "indy" cinema coming out of all kinds of places in North America that are not the Hollywood mainstream; just because the film has a lot of white people in doesn't make it a Hollywood blockbuster. I'd really hoped that the increasingly heterogenous and diverse USA had gotten past the we "all look alike" stage, but maybe we've got a little ways to go....I suppose part of the blame goes to Kino for putting "Bollywood" on the packaging, but even the casual viewer should be able to tell some distinct cultural differences in language, other aspects of culture, and even the casting choices.
  
  

• wonderful! Aishwarya Rai is marvelous.....

  
  By ADS5APY1NKTL4 on 2005-01-30
  This is a great Kollywood film that can definitely be enjoyed by fans of the genre, or those who have never seen this type of film before. For those of you unfamiliar with the Kollywood films of India, they combine action, romance, drama, comedy and musical numbers (some that appear to be straight out of an Indian music video) into one complex piece. They also differ from Bollywood films, because they are filmed in the Southern region of India, and, like this one, are presented in the Tamil language. In the case of I HAVE FOUND IT, the storyline is taken directly from Jane Austen's SENSE AND SENSIBILITY. The tale of three daughters (two of them, grown), their widowed mother, and the men who court the young women has been updated from 19th century England, to modern-day India.
  
  I HAVE FOUND IT is intelligently written (and very well translated), the photography is rich, beautiful and really makes you feel a part of the story. It pulls you in with lovely colors, intriguing camera angles and makes poetry of the beautiful faces and forms of the lead actresses, Aishraya Rai (Meenakshi), the "sensibility" sister, and Tabu ("Sowmya"), the "sense" sister. All the actors dance and act beautifully (and also lip synch very convincingly to the songs--another hallmark of Bollywood). This film is refreshingly well thought out, compelling and warm.
  
  I am hoping that more people come to appreciate Indian film, through watching movies like this. Of course, the Bollywood productions are not the only great thing about Indian cinema (we can't forget about the late, great Satyajit Ray and the contemporary filmmaker Mira Nair, whose productions didn't need flashy costuming or crowdpleasing moves to appeal to our hearts and minds). However, this is an outstanding example of when Bollywood goes deliciously right!

• Great Bollywood movie
  By A1QZNQY7Q7DFBQ on 2005-10-12
  This movie not only had a great story but the songs have been the best I've heard so far coming from a Bollywood movie. Being new to Bollywood myself, I noticed that the plot and acting are done exceptionally well and the music adds a nice flare.
  
  
• Good movie, bad subtitles
  By AHKP7P4T2QDU5 on 2005-08-23
  The movie itself is enjoyable. A great story about a family where one daughter dreams of being married to her true love while the other daughter is just grateful if she gets married at all. So, different suitors come and a couple actually stick around by the movie's end. The fun part of the movie is seeing who will end up with who. The plot takes a really bold turn when daddy dies and an unexpected party ends up with the will, and the house! The songs are also well done. The song used during the filming of a movie (towards the end) is a really nice and catchy tune. The romantic daydream scenes were also done very well.
  
  But one star was lopped off because of those horrible subtitles. Misspelled words, incomplete sentences, and even the songs were poorly translated. And keep that pause button handy because when the subs do show up they are wicked fast. However, I was still able to follow the story along. The bad subs don't totally ruin the experience but it does create a minor inconvenience. Hopefully, someone will remaster this little gem and redo those translations. Otherwise, this is more substantial proof that India knows how to make great cinema.
  
  
• JANE AUSTEN IN INDIA
  By A2HVL790PBWYTU on 2006-03-20
  Having been semi-introduced to Bollywood thru Bride and Prejudice and thus to Aishwarya Rai, I was eager to see another Indian film done ala Jane Austen. I'm pleased and somewhat relieved to say that Kandukondain Kandukondain (I Have Found It), based on Austen's Sense & Sensibility, comes up a definite winner. This is another superb film effort teeming with bright colors, lavish costumes, bright sets, eye-popping song & dance routines, well-cast actors and a classic storyline.
  
  I Have Found It is the tale of two sisters and their travails, romantically, financially, socially. Tabu plays Sowmya, the pragmatic, somewhat withdrawn sister, who feels she is bad luck when it comes to love; Aishwarya Rai is Meenakshi, the romantic sister, brimming with life, not afraid to dream and then pursue that dream; Ajith portrays Manohar, a would be director who spurns his father's offer to work for his business and vows to marry the emotionally fragile Sowmya as soon as he directs his first film; Mammootty's character is Bala, a bitter one-legged, ex-soldier drunkard who nevertheless is steadfast in his unrequited love for the unattainable Meena and seemingly is always there when Meena needs him most; Abbas plays Srikanth, a rich businessman who recites poetry and becomes the center of Meena's world, much to Bala's quiet despair. Anyone who has read Sense & Sensibility should be able to recognize the characters and somewhat follow along with the story's unfolding.
  
  There is a certain sense of realism here, mostly brought about by the acting of Mammooty, which nevertheless doesn't take away from the romantic feel of the movie; I Have Found It doesn't have the overblown, all-encompassing love affair of a movie like Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam or Taal, for example (although Meena's romance with Srikanth is giddy enough). Bala (played to world-weary perfection by Mammootty) seems to be old enough to be Meena's father and is not at all your typical Romeo, in the looks or amorous behavior department, yet it's pretty obvious he is the one viewers will be rooting for. I found Sowmya and Manohar's relationship interesting enough but to be honest, I couldn't wait for the movie to refocus on Meena, Srikanth and Bala, which, to me, was the more intriguing storyline (maybe my bias for Aish sneaking thru).
  
  There are great songs here but I have 3 favorites. "Yenna Solla Pogirai?" (What Will Your Answer Be?) features Manohar (Ajith), with pretty cool dance steps, wooing Sowmya; "Kanjun Meinakalei" (Song to the Mynah Bird) is the first song in the movie and it pretty much sums up Aish's optimistic, the world-is-my-oyster sensibilities; but the best one is "Kannamoochi Yennada" (Hide and Seek), which shows off Aishwarya Rai dancing at her most ravishing (in fact, "Kannamoochi Yennada" might be my favorite Aish music number of all time); the exquisite choreagraphy in this showstopper, the way Aish moves and expresses herself...geez, you literally cannot take your eyes away from her.
  
  I Have Found It is two and a half hours long, quite short by Bollywood standards. But it is a few hours that will pass by very enjoyably; and when the movie is over, you will sigh, romantic viewer that you are, and ruefully shrug away the spell that was cast over you and then resignedly go back to reality, but hopefully taking with you the knowledge that there are movies out there infinitely better than the Son of the Mask.
  
  
• Great Film
  By A8ANAKSAVLNUS on 2005-09-19
  Costumes are beautiful. Songs are poetic and dances are extravagant. Thoroughly enjoyable.
  
  
• Great Film but the Subtitles Destoy It
  By A1JPPND3I6EJVT on 2006-03-29
  This was a great film, colorful and fun. But the subtitles were so badly written that I felt like I was taking a foreign language exam. Whoever did the subtitles showed no knowledge of everyday working English. I had to rewind just to figure out what some of them were trying to say. Also, by mid way in the film the subtitles were running several scenes behind so it made for much confusion and rewinding. This is a fun movie but it takes lots of concentration and effort to enjoy it because of the extremely BAD subtitle work. This subtitle company should have been fired and go out of business.
  
  
• I have found it found me...
  By A2BRAS9ZQW7GJ5 on 2006-04-30
  Growing up in Toronto I would go to my friends houses after school and some of their parents would be watching Bollywood movies. I didn't understand the language but I loved the sound of the music and the colourful outfits. Two years ago I decided to watch Bollywood, Hollywood and I was taken back 20 years to my youth. Then came Bride and Prejudice because I am a Jane Austen fan, which then made me want to see I Have Found It (Sense and Sensibility). And boy did it find me. At first I found it hard to keep up with the speed of the subtitles but once I got used to it I fell head over heels for this film. I don't know anything about Bollywood or Kollywood films yet but I hope this is a good indication of what they will be like. I loved the music, the emotion, the romance, the energy, the colour and the humour. I still have some of the music playing in my head and it has been 2 days since I saw the DVD. There is a whole world outside of Hollywood waiting to be explored and I am ready....
  
  
• Fantastically Different and Exotic
  By A1U6R9WN7DJZFX on 2006-10-26
  This is my favorite movie, because it is something so different from everything I've seen before. The plot is well conceived and loosely based on Jane Austen's classic, SENSE AND SENSIBILITY. Each character is deep and complex and the musical numbers are absolutely fascinating scenes of color, fabulous music, and exotic masks and costumes. I got this out of the library, and half-way through, I knew I needed to buy it because I would watch it so many times.
  
  
• Pleased with Sense & Sensibility adaptation
  By AK4OD834FM6PO on 2005-09-08
  This is a very enjoyable adaptation of Sense & Sensibility. The heroines are wellcast and the two young men are sensual and attractive. The characters are well developed and the viewer cares for them all. I've had the DVD for 6 days and have watched it through twice and my favorite parts MANY times.
  
  The scene where the Major rescues Meenu in the rain was unique enough that I had my husband look up from his newspaper to watch it when I was watching the highlights last night.
  
  In the Special Features section, the Kino DVD has the songs which I enjoy playing while I work around the house.
  
  For anyone who enjoy musicals and romance, this is a great movie.
  
  
• Touching film, and I hope this one's subtitles are synched
  By A1WX42M589VAMQ on 2005-07-21
  I rented this film a couple months ago through Netflix. The horrible lack of coordination between subtitles and the spoken voices was jarring. It actually RUINED what was a very nice flick. Imagine that you're reading subtitles that have a lag of 90 seconds or more, so that you're reading dialogue with the wrong person, or maybe the wrong SCENE. Very headache-inducing.
  
  Now, I don't know if this is a new edition, with better subtitles. I hope so, because this film deserves quality translation. The story--based on Sense and Sensibility, my favorite English language film, directed by Ang Lee--follows the romantic and financial difficulties of two sisters. I agree with the previous reviewer that the actor who plays the older suitor of the lovely Aish does a great job. I rooted so much for him (the Indian version of Col. Brandon). I wanted more of the film to focus on him and Aish. Ah, well.
  
  I enjoy Bollywood cinema. Like any nation's film industry, not everything is great, and a lot is just plain bad to mediocre. (If you don't believe me, rent a compilation of Bollywood music numbers from assorted films--you can rent these from Netflix if you dare not buy them from amazon without test driving-- and see how many of them really reek in terms of choreography, costumes and performance).
  
  This one is among the better Bollywood offerings I've seen. If you wish to compare my taste, I also loved (and excuse any misspellings as I try to recall foreign words) TAAL, VEER ZAARA, LAGAAN, HUM DIL DE CHUKE SANAM, and to a lesser extent MOHABBATEIN and DEVDAS (visually stunning film, musically enjoyable, with a maginificently "watchable" Aishwarya and a terrific Madhuri Dixit, a great number featuring both beautiful women, but the weak spot was Shahrukh, who was just not very good in this. I hated his creepy character and the seriously annoying overacting. Shahrukh has screen presence, and he's featured much better in DEVDAS, while still prone to a lot of weepy overacting, but in that context, much more heroic. He's also quite likable in MOHABBATEIN.)
  
  If they fixed the subtitle problems on this DVD, then I recommend this wholeheartedly.

• Enjoyable
  By A78GH8AIBMJSS on 2006-07-24
  I saw Bride and Prejudice and wanted to see more of Aishwarya Rai--Kandukondain Kandukondain was my first choice and I'm pleased to say I wasn't disappointed. The entire movie was a delight--wonderful love stories and memorable songs. Aishwarya is such a delight to watch on screen--she just has that presence where you can't keep you're eyes off her. There's more here though than watching her beauty--the story and emotions felt very real. Highly recommend.
  
  
• Never Again!
  By A23QQ27I2546JO on 2005-10-11
  Not being a true Bollywood fan, I deeply regret having bought "I have found it." It may be for some, but the whole genre and presentation of the movie were appalling. I was simply unable to watch through the entire movie. The story line, supposedly based on one of Jane Austen's novels, had much potential. That was my reason for buying the DVD. Unfortunately, the director of this movie simply butchered it. There's no question it was one of my worst movie-vewing experiences.
  
  
• Simply Fantastic
  By AZM4EBU6TEYKU on 2005-08-02
  This is one of the best movies I have seen Aishwarya Rai in. For one the music in this movie is fantasic especially the first two numbers in the movie which she does and the last one where she is singing in the studio. As well as that as glamourous as she does look always it was refreshing to see her in a very stripped back look which suited her better as she doesn't really need any makeup to look stunning. The rest of the cast in the movie are good but the musical numbers in the movie are the standout.
  
  
• Excellent
  By A188OXYUFNQVO5 on 2005-09-13
  This isn't your typical bollywood film. It is long as are most bollywood films. But is has an edge to it. The plot is extremely clever. Aishwarya is magnificent as usual. I would recommend this film to anyone who likes bollywood. You will notice some differences though because this is a Tamil film. They do not speak hindi but that definetly does not affect the movie. Again Aishwarya is amazing!
  
  
• Bollywood here I come.
  By A1O3RFABKJMAO9 on 2006-05-05
  Another wonderful Bollywood flick, with cheesy actors and colorful, vibrant dancing scenes. It never ceases to amaze me how beautiful Aishwarya Rai is in any of her films. I love this film. It brings a quality to the cinema that Americans have not been able to do.
  
  
• A Great Introduction to Hindi/Tamil Movies
  By A2PZUDQFS5DLKZ on 2007-07-25
  I love, love, love this movie. It was my first Tamil film, and is by far still my favorite. The music is awesome by A. R. Rahman, I'm wanting to buy the soundtrack, but can't seem to find it *hint to Amazon*. Even my kids love this movie, age 7 and 5. I lent this movie to a friend two weeks ago, who has yet to return it. It's just a fun wholesome movie for the family. The actors are brilliant, the costumes are brilliant, I can't say a bad thing about this movie. I've seen two different subtitle versions of this movie, and by far Kino has the best subtitles, the other one I saw was really furstrating. So, be careful about which subtitles you get, it really does make a difference.
  
  
• Must find and must have movie!
  By A1UZQ1Y92YEV42 on 2005-09-07
  I originally rented this movie and found that I needed to add it to my collection. There are several layers of love earned and love lost in this 'bollywood' movie/musical - all aspiring to wonderful ending. However, the title track/song to the movie should have been used during the end scene. Watch it!, and see what I mean!
  
  
• I Have Found It
  By A2CDDO07YO4CAT on 2006-03-09
  I enjoyed the musical numbers in this Eastern Indian production, however I was disappointed that it was subtitled and not dubbed.
  
  
• Worth Watching Again and Again.
  By A2HLWI96XCT0EY on 2007-04-26
  Kandukondain Kandukondain is not a "Bollywood" film - Its not in Hindi - its "kollywood" south india - Tamil film.
  It's a highly entertaining film loosely based on Sense and Sensibility. many Indian films have a reputation for having thin plots -not here there's a solid, believable plot here and dramatic storyline. i found the film charming and one of those you can watch again and again - if you don't speak Tamil you're going to have to because, the DVD - at least my version - had some of the worst subtitling i have ever seen - it's a real shame because I get the feeling the film has a great script (you can still follow the story very easily though)
  I know everyone thinks Ash is beautiful (she is) but Tabu stole the show for me. Great music by AR Raham.
  
  
• Superb!
  By A3T990I6HXFMNW on 2007-06-07
  Indeed, Bollywood is not for everyone; the sudden silly dances, the childish scenes, drama, action, romance all together, but this Tamil movie is just outstanding! I have my own Bollywood collection, and this is definetely one of the best. I watched it after a huge disappointment with Mistress of Spices, which I thought would be interesting. This is how I like to see Aishwarya, good acting, great story and yes lovely lovely music. A MUST for any Indian-wanna-be like yours truly.
  
  
• Aish can act
  By AWXXUOYG8Q8M3 on 2007-01-14
  I agree with the previous reviewer. This is excellent, and is certainly proof that Aishwarya Rai can act. I'm recommending this to my friends who find Bollywood musicals a little hard to get used to. This is a gentle, thoughtful introduction to Indian cinema.
  
  
• GROOVY but $19.99
  By AXO4PQU0XG3TG on 2007-06-13
  I haven't been able to watch exuberant Bollywood movies because the visuals have just been too overwhelming for me. I purchased this movie despite the high price because I was curious about what a Kolkatta movie is like. I am so happy I got to watch this movie. I recommend it. I hated spending $19.99 but this movie was easy to watch and Kollywood IS different from Bollywood. I'm glad I got a chance to see the contrast in style. This is definitely a talented production apart from being adapted from a strong story by Jane Austen unlike Bride and Prejudice which I find unwatchable.
  
  
• I Wish I Hadn't Found It
  By A2KSAOZJZ3OLNZ on 2007-08-16
  This film is a lumbering disappointment. While some of the Tamil dance numbers were intriguing,they were soon followed by two of the goofiest vocal numbers: one involved a wealthy young financier floating down the river on a raft,for no particular reason, while serenading a rainstorm; this same character - he does get around - is later seen, clad in a cape, at some fantasy castle with his love "Ash". She, you, and I would have been better served if he had earlier drowned in the river. The entire film could have used some careful editing, starting with the opening military sequence, which really served no purpose. I'd recommend, instead the 1995 Sense and Sensiblity, or, if you want two good Indian films, watch Lagaan or Fanaa.
  
  
• Wish I knew Indian
  By A1951TFN9TJZ0Q on 2007-08-16
  I enjoyed the movie.
  
  Unfortunately I didn't realize that it was in the Indian language and that it was subtitled. I had to keep pausing the movie and going in reverse to read the subtitles (my eye sight is not that great on a small screens).
  
  Other than that, I liked the movie. The people and the emotions on the scren were vibrant and colorful.
  
  
• Better than Bride and Prejudice
  By A19LH0NECBL5XW on 2005-08-12
  If this title caught you, perhaps you are a Jane Austen fan, or a Bollywood fan, or both. I count myself among the former, and am new to Bollywood, but I'm here to say, if you enjoyed Bride and Prejudice (and I did), check this out. It is much better -- I'm guessing because it is the real deal, Bollywood I mean. The dance numbers are fabulous; the first one alone has 5 or 6 costume changes! And you have to love that the filmmakers take you to exotic and incongruous locations like Egypt and Scotland for musical numbers. Lush visuals, great story, wonderful music and dance, appealing stars -- it's got it all!
  If you didn't like B & P, but you thought the premise had promise, try this movie.
  
  
• Great!
  By A3F4L3V3R66GPE on 2007-03-09
  I love this movie. Even with subtitles it move me. I love the bollywood movies and this was a very good one.
