Kaadhal Tholvigal - The Failed Romances

Love is complicated. And if you’ve ever felt like Tamil cinema’s epic love stories set the bar a little too high - or hilariously low - then Kaadhal Tholvigal - The Failed Romances is the show for you. Created by TerryandTheCuz, this hybrid cabaret blends music, theatre, and storytelling to explore the highs, lows, and over-the-top drama of romance through the lens of Tamil films. Ahead of its debut at BOBO KL, we speak to Govin Ruben, performer, co-creator and co-writer of the show, to talk about heartbreak, musical magic, and why failed romances make for the best stories.
