Kaaviya Thalaivan Movie Review

Siddharth strikes gold yet again with Kaaviya Thalaivan, but the film belongs to Prithviraj who shines as a baddie. Watch the film for three reasons – Siddharth, Prithviraj and AR Rahman.

Awards guaranteed, whistles doubtful...

This is an excellent movie straight from Balan's heart although conflict may be painful; the painless solution doesn't exist in most cases. All said and done, the movie is worth a watch.

Vasanthabalan deserves a pat on his back for coming out with a brave and unflinching film that oozes the kind of sincerity that you long for in most Tamil films these days.

Kaaviya Thalaivan is a classic from Vasanthabalan which is simply brilliant except for the song placement of 'Yaarumilla' song which disturbs the pace of the movie.

Though predictable, Kaaviya Thalaivan stands out for taking us back into the past and show the rich drama culture of Tamil Nadu. Flawless performances and technically sound makes it a perfect film.

The narration of Kaaviya Thalaivan is just taut enough to keep you engaged from start to finish. The movie is watchable for the sincerity of team’s vision and convincing re-creation of interesting backdrop and time period.

Credits are definitely due to Vasanthabalan for his efforts to showcase the tradition of performing arts in a bygone era to the whatsapp generation.
