Thalaivaa Movie Review

One does tend to loseinterest at some points. Had he worked a little harder on the execution, Thalaivaa would have gone places.GV.Prakash’s songs might have done wonders, but his BGM is totallyout of place.

Director failed in all the ways in projecting the protagonist as hero. The love track in first half need not be made so lengthy. He could have given interval 20 minutes before itself.

Thalaivaa is inspired by Nayakkan and Sarkar. Thoughtfully the director thanks makers like Mani Ratnam and Ram Gopal Varma at the start. This film is a good attempt to rehash the mafia tales of yore.

Thalaivaa is all about how circumstances force an individual to don the mantle of leadership. Though the plot is not new and there is not enough pace, the film does have enough twists and turns to keep the audience engrossed.

Overall, although slow at the start and missing in some of its character backstories, the film makes up for it with few unexpected turns of events.
