Analysis
'Kanulu Kanulanu Dochayante' is an engaging thriller with good twists. The entertainment is also decent. The interval twist is good and the second half is engrossing. But the film looks like a normal rom-com in the first few minutes and the scenes between the lead pair should have been better. Apart from the performances of Dulquer Salmaan and Ritu Varma, Gautham Vasudev Menon's role surprises the audiences. It is technically sound too.
On the whole, 'Kanulu Kanulanu Dochayante' is an entertaining and engaging thriller. Few creative liberties were taken.
