Kaaviya Thalaivan

Just watched "Kaaviya Thalaivan". Once again Vasantha balan has given a different and a good film. This film is really something which doesn't go well with the commercial audience. But Vasantha balan has given this in an engaging manner. A different movie which brings the pre-independence era and the drama troops lively on the screen. This film slightly reminds me of the "Sivaji ganesan" starrer yesteryear blockbuster film "Rajapart Rangadurai".

Positives:- Right from the title, Siddarth and Prithviraj steals the show. This is the best performance of Siddarth till date. And my favourite of the film is the Cunning and evil character of Prithviraj. Even though Prithviraj has done similar roles in the past in Mollywood, he shows lots of maturity in this film. Everyone has done their job in a perfect manner. Nassar, Tambi ramaiah, Ponvannan, singampuli, Vedhika and the list of characters has given justice to their role. Music:- AR.Rahman's music adds a feather to this movie. He has produced a different album with hummable numbers, Aye Mr.Minor, Vanga makka and My fav. Yaarumilla song and the BGM suits the period of the film. Negatives:- The character of the Princess is mischievous but the actress doesn't looks promising this movie. Her smile and performance was really irritating for me. The scenes are almost predictable.

Threats:- While I was in awe of appreciation during the end as I do for every movie I feel good, I noticed that I was the only person left in the Theatre as everyone left early without watching the full movie.

Verdict:- Leave the usual masala aspects aside and Watch "Kaaviya Thalaivan" as a different recipe. You will really love this new flavour. My rating:- 10/10 simply for the efforts and execution

Director: Vasanthabalan Writers: Jayamohan, Vasanthabalan Stars: Siddharth, Prithviraj Sukumaran, Vedika | See full cast and crew »

Fictional Story of the popular Tamil drama artists and their troop who lived before and during the Indian Independent movement. The story is as close to the novel or real with the minor cinematic touches.

ACTING:

Not a big fan of Prithiviraj. But, he has done one of the best acting performance in this year in Tamil. If awards ceremonies have supporting actor category, he would bag all the awards including the National award (possible). Siddharth have done equal justice with his performance as the lead. Nasser, Vedhika and the troop has really done well.

TECHNICAL ASPECTS:

Cinematography gives the mood and settles down all the small glitches in the film. Color, tone, angles and execution is something close to astonishing ( par best to the Indian level).

Art direction is outstanding (awards are knocking the door). Editing is good.

Choreography is good. Dialogues are the best at any standard.

Music is soulful and admirable. This album and BGM would be considered for National awards or even it will win South Indian Filmfare.

Direction is good would have been better.

NEGATIVES: Screenplay is mediocre even the good editing doesn't help it. The film have some problems at the finishing line is dragged before the climax. The climax sequences are like stereotypical Tamil film. Still, I would say this as a better film than my words

1st HALF - Masterpiece. Pure cinematic experience. 2nd HALF - Could have been better but good.

Music, cinematography, Art direction and Dialogues will bag the awards.

Send this picture to Overseas film festivals would get honored from the real movie critics

This would be a Tamil Amadeus or Tamil Prestige

8.4*/10 for an International movie 9*/10 as a Indian/Tamil movie

Kaviyathalaivan - A Very different kinda movie!! The storyline is not the usual romance based type! Hats off to Vasanthabalan for trying this...! It is like a modern version of an art film! The story is about Koothu- actors/dancers in pre-independence era. Nassar is the lead of a Koothu team. Prithviraj and Sidharth join in at a very young age! Sidharth by virtue of better acting abilities and Out-Of-The-Box-Thinking gets the lead roles and the girls! Prithviraj is jealous... The story revolves around their lives and emotions... HATS OFF TO SIDHARTH! I loved his expressions! I am not sure if he learnt classical dance for the grace in his dance moves. It would have been a treat had Sidharth also acted one role as a female character (As a part of the Koothu shows)! Prithviraj had done a decent job! But Sidharth stole the show!! & Vedhicka (Ganakokilam Vadivambal) had also danced very well... I was hoping for a better role for Kuyili... She could have been used as a Koothu dancer too!! A.R.Rahman could not have made the background scores any better... The music just perfectly suited the movie in every way!! The movie could have have been slightly shorter... But I have no cribs about that!! I rate this movie 3.5 out of 5 but recommend it as a movie worth watching!!

"Kaaviya Thalaivan" as the title says, its is truly a head of acting excellence from Prithivraj & siddharth & nassar sir.. it's is the story about two drama actors set in the pre-independence Era of India. It's portrays some real cultural art & drama's of late Indians.

The movie start very good from the beginning to the end by some brilliant acting from siddharth & Prithivraj but their some predictable climax makes less impact to the audience.

As of the Music, A.R.Rahman's sir did his wonderful sounds in the background as well as songs are very good.

The Cinematography was great as we some excellent sets which portray's real drama's like in early 1940's. The dances shown in the film are really super, some acting scene's are extraordinary. never scene such acting before. Great movie with great artists. Thanks to vashandabalan sir for making such wonderful movies which portrays tamil culture.
