A Rather Smooth Sail with Enough Turbulence of Laughter

Kappal sets the ball rolling straightaway with an innovative introductory scene. You get the basic idea about the characters and what the movie is all about. Five buddies vow not to get married and what happens when one of them gets a call from cupid is Kappal in short. (more)

Anything for friendship

Friendship is the ship that never sinks. Friends are family that you choose. In most cases, a person can be gauged by the friends circle he maintains. Though friends are understanding in many a circumstance, what if they don't want to budge at all? How far would anyone go to compromise? The story of love and friendship narrated with a funny bone, is what makes up 'Kappal'.(more)

Good comedy helps Kappal sail safely.

When you are in trouble, when you are sad and when you are in love - it is a given that it is our friends, who step out in front and give us a helping hand. If you think Kappal is one of those sweet friendship melodies, it is definitely not and if you think otherwise, it definitely is.(more)

This Kappal doesn�t sink

The premise of Kappal � three friends willing to go to any lengths to stop the fourth from breaking their childhood promise of celibacy � isn�t altogether rooted in reality. But to be annoyed by it is to miss the point. There�s no message here, just like how the main characters are friends for no particular reason. As the film asks before displaying its title card: Who needs a reason to be friends? Director Karthik G. Krish, however, understands that while friendship may not need reasons, humour definitely does. And there�s plenty of that in the film.(more)

Good Fun Ride

Shankar's Pictures' is back in business of production with his former assistant Karthik G Krish debuting as director with Kappal. The film is an interesting combination of humour, friendship and romance. Interestingly, most part of the film is quite enjoyable except for its prolonged second half and an unwanted 'Kaadhal Keedhal' song.(more)

Sailing on stupidity

Five school friends in Kappal (Ship) take a solemn vow that they will never get married. For, women and marriage, they feel, will mar their relationship. If this is good enough for life-long celibacy, the plot that hinges on this premise ought to be good enough for a film that stretches for 156 minutes. But, sorry, this is not good enough reason for singlehood. And the story is not meaty enough for such length. So, what does writer-director Karthik G Krish do? He packs his movie with such silly situations that one can take a snooze and not miss anything. (more)
