Kanaka is a weak remake of Veyil. While Veyil is purely an emotional roller coaster, Kanaka first hits the action track, then switches to romantic track and finally gets to the emotional track and derailed, missing all the tracks. It was like watching two movies Apart from the lead character's name, there is no connection between first half and second half of the movie. Even the characterisation of lead is totally different in both halves of the movie. It's like difference between a desert and a sea. There is no strong root in romance in both halves and hence it fails to create the emotions it's supposed to create. Everything is seemed to be forced in this movie, forced romance, forced action sequences, forced emotions and finally a forced happy ending. If this movie was made into two movies, at least one of them would've been good.
Finally the Irony : Kanaka criticises Tamil and Telugu movies at the beginning, while this movie itself a remake of tamil movie also lifting tunes of "Unakenna Venum Sollu" (Ennai Arindhal) for the song "Putta Putta Kannugalu" and "Paraviyae Engu Iriukirai" (Katradhu Tamil) for the song "Matte Matte Nenapu"
