'Kadha, Samvidhanam Kunchacko', directed by Haridas Keshavan (who earlier used to direct movies under the name Haridas), takes you nowhere with the film as he himself doesn't seem to know where he wants to take it. The story begins somewhere and takes you somewhere else, conveying nothing in the process and failing to impress you in any way.

Kunchacko is a self-made man, rich and affluent. He had struggled much in his early years, but after he got a firm footing in life, he had not looked back. He was a man with few scruples and did whatever it took to make money. What he earned however, was always for his siblings. His sister Molly and his brothers Mathew and Bobby are now well settled in life, all because of him. Kunchacko himself never had the time to live for himself. He didn't even get married. Now, when he's 50, he begins to think about marriage and that too at the behest of a kind-hearted priest Father Vattapara, who had always been a well-wisher of his.

Kunchacko feels that he should marry Anne Mary, the daughter of a former employee of his finance company. Anne Mary, whose father is no more, had taken a loan from Kunchacko's firm and is finding it hard to repay it. She decides not to get married until she has repaid the loan. It is at this juncture that Kunchacko asks her to forget about the loan and marry him. Anne Mary, who is just 27, agrees and they get married. On the night of their marriage, Kunchacko has a very strange visitor. And from here the story takes a turn.

Sreenivasan as Kunchacko is his very usual self, donning the role with ease and at the same time refusing to grow out of his mannerisms. Meena as Anne Mary is good. The others in the cast are OK. Jagathy Sreekumar and Thilakan have nothing much to do. Technical aspects are in tune with the theme and the mood. The lone song in the film doesn't impress much and reminds you of a couple of other songs featuring Sreenivasan, especially the one in 'Udayanaanu Thaaram'.

'Kadha, Samvidhanam Kunchakko', is a film that has been made in the most conventional manner and has nothing new to offer. There is an overall lack of direction. The script-writer and the director should have decided on what they wanted to communicate through the film and then gone about with their jobs. The way it is currently packaged, you are left wondering why you took the trouble of watching it.
