Even if you haven't been to the first-day-first-show show of Kanchana at Odeon Deluxe and internalized the frenzied drumbeats celebrating the release of Raghava Lawrence's latest film, you need but one cursory glance through the first several scenes from Kanchana to know this: Lawrence sells.
More importantly, he knows he does, and he knows what to do with that ability to sell. The credit to Kanchana's watchability goes mainly to the upbeat spirit and energy he infuses throughout the movie - when not being a dancer/hero, then when being a filmmaker.
