We see these two characters facing setbacks around the same time. Meanwhile, Murugesan faces the problems that most farmers face these days - drought and poor crop yield that makes it difficult to repay loans. Arunraja gives us scenes that are relatable and makes us root for Kausi. But then, tongues start wagging in the village, with lecherous men trying to justify their actions, putting a huge question mark over her dream. Then, Kausi has to gain the confidence of the male players. First, her mother is dead-set against this as she believes cricket isn't a woman's game. We see Kausi's efforts to join the local cricket team and the challenges she faces to do so. But he breaks down over India losing a cricket match, and Kausi, who sees this, resolves within herself to become a cricket player and win matches to make her father happy. The latter is so mad about cricket that he is interested in watching a match than crying over his father's death. We are then told the story of Kausalya aka Kausi (Aishwarya Rajesh) and her father Murugesan (Sathyaraj), a farmer. The film begins with a local cricket match that gets interrupted after the two teams get into a fight. Right from the opening scene, Arunraja gives equal importance to both these conflicts in his story and often resorts to cross-cutting between the two parallel plots, which beautifully merge at the climax to deliver an effective punch.

In fact, it is this mashup of genres that sets Kanaa apart from other sports dramas. But, sweet surprise! The director manages to pull this off quite convincingly. This might seem like a weird crossover, especially when the underdog angle itself has women empowerment as a message.

And on the other, he gives us a message movie that talks about the importance of farming. On one hand, he gives us a sports movie about an underdog winning against odds. With Kanaa, Arunraja Kamaraj, who makes his debut as a director, hits two birds in one stone.
