In fact, the part where young Kousu (the younger Aishwarya is brilliant casting) initiates herself into cricket is superbly done. But thankfully, the narrative never gets cushioned in this father-daughter bond. When she sees him sobbing after a defeat, she decides to pursue cricket, just so she can bring his smile back. Kanaa starts with promise, telling the tale of a cricket fanatic father (Sathyaraj) who makes his daughter, Kousu (Aishwarya Rajesh) sit next to him as he believes her to be lucky for India. Kanaa, the story of village girl Kausalya, who aspires to be a cricketer, does fall into that trap but a few competent performances and well-crafted cricket scenes save the film from becoming an entirely middling experience. The narrative tends to follows a familiar pattern too: sketching the protagonist’s journey that begins on a promising note, skids into a dullness and ends in festive chorus. Stories of triumphant underdogs, especially in sport, have this tendency to pile on clichés.
