ETimes Starring Yogi Babu Review
Although the film received mixed critical responses, it was praised by various quarters. ETimes, in its review, noted: “Kenatha Kanom falls short on predictability. The journey from water crisis to resolution is straightforward, without enough twists and turns to keep you curious about where it’s going. A sequence of police rounding up and beating towns sits uncomfortably against the film’s otherwise stark realism. Nivas K Prasanna’s music is a huge asset as it often creates atmosphere where there is none.”ETimes added: “A man who steals a dinosaur fossil to blackmail the government should be wilder than this. Kenatha Kanom has the premise for something memorable, but settles for being likable.”Along with Yogi Babu, the film stars Lovelyn Chandrasekhar and Raichal Rabecca in lead roles. The supporting cast includes Ramakrishnan, George Mariya, Kavitha Bharathi and Rajendira.
