After a long battle with the Censor Board over the skin show in his Kadhal Kadhai (originally titled Kadhal Arangam), director Velu Prabhakaran has finally released the trimmed version of the film with an 'A' Certificate. (Questioning the local Censors' cuts of the partial nudity in many scenes by his leading lady Shirley Das, Velu Prabhakaran went on appeal to the Central Censor Board, Delhi, which also suggested similar cuts. The director was forced to accept and deleted the said semi-nude scenes before releasing the film.)

Kadhal Kadhai, starring Shirley Das, Prithi and Rangayani in major roles, develops on the lines of a boring documentary on women's mental and sexual agonies, caused by their sexual suppression in Indian culture. From beginning to end, the film continuously challenges the gospel of love, i.e. "Love is divine" and argues that love is simply an alternate title of sex (love is lust).

It begins with Velu Prabhakaran's long speech on the necessity of complete sexual freedom as practised in European countries, where women's bodies are exposed just like men's. Set in the backdrop of the difficulties that Velu Prabhakaran suffered in making a movie about lust as a major driving force in human lives, the film tells the story of three village ladies in flashback mode and how they become victims of lust, when they abided by the oppressed sexual urges of their extra-marital relationships. It seems Velu Prabhakaran wanted to put some genuine questions before the audience, but in most parts, the film has turned out to be erotica and pornography!

Kadhal Kadhai, in its every aspect of ideology, is either self-contradictory or exaggeration! Though the film endlessly praises the divinity of women's bodies as a creator of life, it takes a highly immoral stand on woman's physiques by fully exploiting three women throughout the film. Secondly, the director's basic premise that "all men in our country treat women as sexual objects" is too generic and fallacious and it must be corrected to "some men treat women as sexual objects."

In a bid to reduce sexual abuse towards women, the director advises a Europe-like culture in which "men seriously meditate and read books in front of half-naked women on the beach." Contradictorily, according to statistics, sexual harassments and crimes against women in the so-called developed nations are much higher than India, so the idea of cultural transplantation is just absurd. It is evident the makers are not very clear about their ideas and did not even make any scientific study on the subject. Driven by some prejudice over sex and the cultural situation in our country, the director has come up with a low-quality picture that even does not fit in the genre of porn films!
