Synopsis
Kannathil Muthamittal (2002), known internationally as A Peck on the Cheek, is a Tamil war drama you can watch online on iFILM. Directed by Mani Ratnam, the film follows eight-year-old Amudha after she discovers she is adopted and sets her family on a journey to war-torn Sri Lanka to find her birth mother.
Madhavan and Simran play the adoptive parents — loving, careful people who know the trip is dangerous and go anyway because their daughter asked them to. Nandita Das plays the birth mother, a woman whose life ran through the Tamil Tigers' camps and left marks that can't be undone. Child actress P. S. Keerthana carries the emotional weight of the film with remarkable ease.
A.R. Rahman scored the soundtrack. The film picked up multiple National Film Awards in India, including Best Children's Film. Mani Ratnam shoots political conflict from the inside out — the Sri Lankan civil war here isn't a backdrop, it's a presence that reshapes every scene. Watch Kannathil Muthamittal online on iFILM.
