As Simple and Beautiful as its Title!
Kaathal - The Core, talks about the core of love, which is essentially accepting someone for who they are. The primary characters in the film are actually accepting of each other�s nature. But they aren�t able to welcome their decisions for fear of society. All the characters are shown as having empathy. In his very first scene, Mathew stands on the side of a young couple against the wishes of the girl�s family, even at the cost of losing a few votes. (And yes, I forgot to mention. Mathew is contesting in the ward elections, and this plays a crucial part of the plot.) But he isn�t able to do the same for himself. But when he finally is able to do it with the help of Omana, the film closes with a shot of a beaming rainbow.(more)

Mammootty-Jeo Baby tell a bold story well
The film has kept everything - emotions, music and drama - very low-key and so, ironically, the tension feels heightened in a good way. Jeo Baby has already shown his skill with the use of sound in The Great Indian Kitchen, and here, in a scene between Mathew and Omana at the climax, you expect the dialogues to be followed by dramatic music, but it is just their words hitting us and then, when we don�t expect it, the scene is filled with a BGM that drives the emotions home. Composer Mathews Pulickan has given the movie just what it needs.(more)

Mammootty, Jyotika starrer leaves you with a heaviness in your heart for all right reasons
Kaadhal: The Core, is a beautiful title for a beautifully crafted film. If I have a dream, it is to see a society where the roles can be played by an LGBTQIA+ actor who is possibly as popular as Mammootty. Until such a day of acceptance, I hope that this star cast brings about a better awareness in the society.(more)
