Thalaivan Thalaivii

Thalaivan Thalaivi is a beautifully made film that shows the real struggles between a husband and wife.

It portrays how family pressures, especially from mothers and mother-in-laws, create tension in married life.

Yet, despite the quarrels and misunderstandings, love stands strong - raw but unshakable.

Vijay Sethupathi is superb in his role, bringing depth and honesty to every scene.

Nithya Menen's cute and natural acting makes her character so lovable and relatable.

The mother character of Vijay Sethupathi is portrayed very realistically, adding weight to the story.

The emotions, chemistry, and silences between the couple feel very real and touching.

I watched it with my family, and we enjoyed every bit of it.

Vijay Sethupathi and Nithya had great chemistry in this film. She seems to fit into whatever role she plays, I don't know how. Underrated actor, she.

Barring that, I am not sure if I am able to see why this loud and jarring film is the massive hit that it has become. "Yogi Babu's comedy was great." aam, not sure about that, and I don't know if the film changes if you axe out his entire role. Regressive dialogues kept aside, I wonder if the events of this film are still commonplace in rural-TN and maybe I'm so far away from that reality and out of touch.

While this film was not for me and I think it'll end up in the "Bad movies of 2025" list in my books, I'd rather watch this over a badly made, jarring, 400-Crore commercial film that delivers nothing but fanservice to people who are too afraid to admit that their hero made a bad movie.

"Thalaivan Thalaivii" has a lot going for it, but it also feels like a missed opportunity. The first half is solid, setting up an intriguing premise and introducing some well-developed characters. The performances, particularly from the supporting cast, are commendable, and the visuals are stunning. However, the film loses its momentum in the second half. The plot becomes predictable, and some of the emotional scenes don't quite land as intended. The comedy, while funny in parts, feels a little forced in others. It's a decent one-time watch, especially if you're a fan of the lead actor, but it doesn't quite live up to the hype. The climax feels a bit rushed, leaving you wanting a more satisfying conclusion. It's not a bad film by any means, but it could have been so much more.

When 'Makkal Selvan' Vijay Sethupathi and Nithya Menon unite for these kind of subjects, it will be a feast for the audience. It is little overcooked feast for us but promised us with lot of interesting and funny things conveyed in a light hearted way.

Vijay Sethupathi as Parotta master I just enjoyed seeing it. He along with Nithya Menon is a great combo to see on big screen. We all face family issues in someway or the other. The way this movie communicated these family fights and misunderstanding in a light-hearted way with cinematic touch is just awesome to see.

This movie was a laughing therapy for people who enjoys these kind of subjects.

Overall a good movie to watch for family audience by not thinking too much about it and not taking it personally.

Just a no-story nonsense movie with just yelling and shouting start to end. I regret that I didn't carry any earplugs. Such a nonsense! I have seen people covering their ears and watching this in agony and regret that they are watching this drama. I always loved movies from Vijay Sethupathi and Nithya Menen but this will be the major red flag in their career.
