	Mdeii life: March 2005
		But, Kannathil Muthamittal is one of the few recent mainstream Tamil films that have received worldwide distribution, and more importantly, distribution to a "crossover" market.
		Kannathil Muthamittal made in 2002, tells the story of a girl, born to Sri Lankan Tamil parents, adopted by an Indian Tamil couple; this in the context of the civil war in Sri Lanka.
		The idea of markets and political determinants apart, Kannathil Muthamittal was marketed as much as a representative of Indian "Middle cinema", as it was as a film set in the civil war.

	Kannathil Muthamittal starring Madhavan and Simran, a Manirathnam film - A Tamil movie special at Galatta.com
		Kannathil Muthamittal is also along the similar lines.
		But what has made all his previous movies click and what is eventually bound to happen to Kannathil Muthamittal too, is his ability to tap that sensitivity in civilians like us to political issues which have been happening around for such a long time, that by now we have become numb or insensitive to them.
		Kannathil Mutthamittal is one such merger of messages.

	Govar - and my mumbo jumbo: Full kudos to Mani Rathnam (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		I spend most of the time visiting blogs, websites, watching movies, music, playing games etc. Anyway, cutting it short, thanks to second year, I got a chance to re-watch Kannathil Muthamittal [Rewatching is something I never used to do before].
		I watched it in the first week of release in Coimbatore, and my first impressions then was that it was a great movie, but I didn't realize how great it was, probably because I was generally ignorant of movies.
		Kannathil Muthamittal is one genius of a movie.

		If, even 10% of the people who brag about how much they love Kannathil Muthamittal today, had actually gone to theatres, we wouldn't have to feel guilty about sending this movie back to the Cans, so fast.
		To be honest, Kannathil Muthamittal isn't a path-breaking movie in Tamil, in terms of the story or content, but the presentation does it.
		Failing 'Kannathil Muthamittal' at the Box Office was a great disservice done to Mani Rathnam and his dedicated team.

	DVD Times - Kannathil Muthamittal (A Peck on the Cheek) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		While expecting something more along the lines of a typical colourful and glamorous Bollywood musical, I found that Kannathil Muthamittal is actually a quite straightforward film, with only occasional musical interludes and most of the songs actually integrated into the film like a normal film soundtrack.
		Kannathil Muthamittal is my first experience of Tamil cinema and it defied all expectations, although perhaps it is a not typical example of Tamil filmmaking.
		Kannathil Muthamittal can be purchased from Ayngaran International.

	The Hindu : Switching over to action
		But somewhere along the line, Madhavan decided to do serious roles in K.Balachandar's "Paarthale Paravasam" and his mentor Mani Ratnam's "Kannathil Muthamittal", both the films bombed at the box-office.
		Though "Kannathil Muthamittal" was critically acclaimed and Maddy was recognised as an actor, his core audience felt let down.
		It was Mani Ratnam, my mentor, who suggested that I do an action film after "Kannathil Muthamittal".

		I saw Madhavan first in Kannathil Muthamittal and loved him in that.
		Kannathil Muthamittal is a masterpiece as far as I am concerned, Maddy was wonderful!
		He needs scripts like AP, Kannathil muthamitaal etc. In hindi all the good roles go to sharukh or Aamir because unlike Maniratnam nobody is willing to take the risk.

	Key People at Media Artists
		The movie, about a child searching for her roots, is backed by good music, great photography and an easy narrative style that are the trademarks of a Mani Ratnam film.
		Kannathil Muthamithal was the first movie to be mixed at Media Artists after it got THX certification, effectively making it the first Indian movie to be mixed in a THX certified studio.
		Well it is a huge jump for somebody who has been mixing directly on to sound negative.

	Arvind's Open Book
		Kannathil Muthamittal (A Peck on the Cheek) is a fine example of his work and a perfectly accessible introduction to anyone who wishes to explore the colourful worlds of Indian or Tamil cinema who thinks that Bollywood musicals might not be quite to their taste.
		Tamil film Kannathil Muthamittal does not have any Humma humma [Bombay] or Chhaiya chhaiya [Dil Se] or old dancing women [Roja, Dalapati].
		Though the issue has been tackled in a couple of recent Tamil films, Ratnam's Kannathil Muthamittal is way ahead.

	Mdeii life: Defining Tamil cinema in the International context with a reference to Mani Ratnam’s Kannathil Muthamittal
		I immensely enjoyed Kannathil Muthamittal both on its context as well as the Mani Ratnam way of filmmaking; the aesthetic sense and screenplay.
		Not that I have anything against the song&dance rotine - but having them as established as they are, seriously stems the flow of the drama - a case in point : Kannathil Muthhamittal.
		I too thought Iruvar was his best and it must have been the toughest movie for Mani Ratnam as he himself had said in an intw.

		"Ein Kuss auf die Wange" (auch "A Peck On The Cheek" und im Original "Kannathil Muthamittal" genannt) gehört nicht dazu.
		Insbesondere die Darstellerin der Amudha ist grossartig, obwohl sie zum ersten Mal vor einer Kamera stand Zum anderen liegt es auch daran, dass ich alter Angeber zur Drehzeit in Madras war und einige Zeit darauf auch tatsächlich das umkämpfte Mankulam besuchte.
		Aufgrund dieser Verbindung bin ich sicherlich nicht objektiv genug, aber für mich ist "Kannathil Muthamittal" einer der grossartigsten und schönsten Filme, nicht allein wegen der Darstellung der tamilischen Situation in Sri Lanka.

		She soon uncovers the turbulent history of her homeland, a paradise torn apart by violence and terror.
		With music from top Bollywood composer A.R. Rahman and stunning cinematography, Kannathil Muthamittal is a challenging and thought provoking film.

		the phrase turns out to be question, when said romantically it goes a mile away from questions, well but try saying it in an answering way, like to questions that perplex war haters, and experts on how to end mighty conflicts well ‘Kannathil Muthamittal’ it rather comes out to be a answer phrase.
