What about story.?

How about On-Screen Stars performance.?
Dulquer Salman is impressive in his role. He looks cool and stylish. Ritu Varma is surprise package of the film. Her innocence helped towards the interval for the twist given. Dulquer, Ritu chemistry is good but there is no logic behind their love story. Rakshan and Niranjani are just okay. Gowtham Menon is impressive in the role of cop. Anish Kuruvilla suited as a rich business man. Others are fine.
How about off Screen Talents?
Cinematographer Bhaskaran gives the best output for the film. BGM by Harshavardhan Rameshwar is good too. Masala Coffee songs are visually good. Editor could have done a better job by chopping of unnecessary scenes in first half. Desingh Periyaswamy has written fantastic screenplay when compared to the story. However the first 15-20 minutes is a bore. The director is in driving seat in the second half. Overall he has done a decent job.
What’s Hot.?
Second half
Screenplay, twists and turns
Dulquer Salman, Ritu Varma pair and their chemistry

What’s Not.?
Songs come as speed breakers
No entertainment

Verdict:
Kanulu Kanulanu Dochayante will definitely give you a different experience. The movie comes out as a surprise towards the end of first half. In the second half too, the movie has all the twists and turns which can engage audiences. However at one point audience will get the feel that movie gives you 50 percent thrills. Movie takes its own time to settle, which is a major drawback. Overall movie will not disappoint you.
Immediate reaction at Intermission: Interval twist is interesting. Police comes for the girls. Let’s find out what happened in second half.
Immediate reaction at end credits: Average flick. There are decent twists and turns. Don’t miss the ending.
Watch or Not?: Dulquer fans can enjoy the movie. Also this movie is for who loves romantic entertainers with twists.
Box Office Status: Due to Dulquer Salman fans the movie might get openings in metros. However the run of the film depends on how other centers embrace the movie and mouth talk for the film. There are 2 other movies in competition as well.
