Kizhakku Kadalkarai Salai (English: East Coast Road) is a 2006 Tamil action romance film directed by S. S. Stanley. Srikanth and Bhavana played the lead roles. The film received poor reviews from critics.[1][2]

Plot[edit]

The movie begins with an orphan Ganesh (Srikanth) coming in search of a job at a petrol bunk in ECR. He manages to win the goodwill of the petrol bunk owner and gets a job there. Enters Priya (Bhavana), an arrogant college student. He throws a challenge to his friends to make Priya fall for him. Meanwhile, Priya's brother Vetri (Suresh), a leading criminal lawyer in the city, comes to know of Ganesh's moves and tries to thwart his plans.

Ganesh had lost his family to the tsunami on 26 December 2004, when they were at ECR to attend a family function. Coming to know of his past and his good ways, Priya is attracted to Ganesh. Priya's brother hatches a conspiracy to prevent them from getting married. He kidnaps his sister, and the blame falls on Ganesh.

How Ganesh overcomes all tragic events and succeeds in holding Priya's hands is the remaining part of the story.

Reception[edit]

Now running wrote, "Even though the Director has tried hard to work a presentable potion, the end result is not so lip-smacking for the audience. The screenplay and narration lacks spice, verve and conviction".[1] Rediff wrote "A virtually invisible script by writer-director SS Stanley and meaningless songs, Stanley cannot seem to get it right in the horror that is Kizhakku Kadakarkarai Salai".[2] Thiraipadam wrote "Kizhakku Kadarkarai Saalai has a likable lead pair, an interesting setting for their romance and a heartless villain to set up roadblocks. But weak and confusing characterization overrides all that to result in a tepid romance".[4]
