Kakkothi Kaavile Appoppan Thaadikal is a classic story about innocence, childhood. It is a simple, touching story told in an honest, pure way, and will remind you of novels you would read as a child. Although it is difficult to find with subtitles, it is worth watching even without them.The film begins with a prelude where two sisters grow up happily together. One day, a street performer comes to their home to beg for water. When the older sister goes to get it for him, she returns to find that the beggar has run away and kidnapped her sister. The film then flashes to many years later, where a young orphan boy named Murali lives a horrible life, mistreated by his parents and schoolmates. The older sister, who is now an adult, is assigned to be his new teacher, but he runs away from home after a misunderstanding, and finds himself in a gypsy camp, where he befriends a strange gypsy girl. As you may surmise, the story is about how the girls from the beginning of the story reunite as adults.There is none of the typical Indian movie excess in this film. It is quiet and beautiful, the climax is one that you can see coming, yet is still emotional and touching. And the characters are all so memorable and acted out so well. The best one is Kakkothi herself, played by Revathi who completely gets into the role. I highly recommend anyone who likes good, clean, family-friendly, and poignant childhood movies to watch this.
