Описание: In this episode of Flashback, celebrated filmmaker and cinematographer Rajiv Menon sits down with Sudhir Srinivasan to revisit his timeless classic Kandukondain Kandukondain (2000) — a film that beautifully blended romance, family drama, and unforgettable music.

Rajiv Menon reflects on adapting Jane Austen’s Sense and Sensibility into a Tamil cultural setting, the ensemble casting of Ajith, Mammootty, Tabu, Aishwarya Rai, and Abbas, and the film’s delicate balance of emotion, humour, and realism. The conversation also dives into the film’s visual language, A.R. Rahman’s evergreen soundtrack, and how Kandukondain Kandukondain continues to charm audiences across generations.

For anyone who cherishes soulful storytelling, iconic music, and layered performances, this episode offers a rare look into the making of one of Tamil cinema’s most graceful modern classics.

A celebration of cinema that bridges worlds, hearts, and time.
