The trailer of one of the most expected films of the year, 'Kaatru Veliyidai' has released today and it has quite well captured the imagination of fans of the ace director Mani Ratnam.

The film is touted to be a romance set in Kashmir with the hero playing a pilot and the heroine a doctor. The trailer establishes the lead characters and the romance between them in the snowy and warm locations of Kashmir in unique Mani Ratnam style.

As usual the visuals are superlative and the quality that one would expect from a Mani Ratnam outing is simply intact. Ravi Varman who has collaborated with Mani for the first time has given his best and here there are extra special reasons to celebrate the visuals as the film is set in a less known land for Tamil film audience.

Karthi with a clean shaven face lad, looks fit and much younger and his delivery of romance as well as emotional dialogues make us expect yet another delectable performance from him. Aditi Rao Hydari who makes her debut with this films looks her part and her expressions fit the requirement. Only these two are the known actors to have appeared in the trailer. May be the director wishes to keep the role and getup of RJ Balaji and others as a surprise.

A.R.Rahman's bgm enhances the feel of youthfulness of the film that the trailer intends to convey.

The objective of the trailer seems to be conveying that it is a pure romance flick and Mani Ratnam strongly registers that with his signature ingredients such as rich visuals, sharp dialogues and great music.
