Thalaivan Thalaivii

"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.

Rating - 2.75/5

A slapstick fun to watch entertainer set on the backdrop of a temple turned out preachy and monotonous.

The director through the story highlights on the minor rifts between couples and how it turns out to be a trauma for the couples, children and the immediate family members when everyone gets dragged into the endless fight.

Pandiraj has conceived a good entertaining story but the way he portrayed it on screen turned out to be too preachy in the initial half. The monotonous activity being done by different characters turned out to be really monotonous for the audience though some subtle humour in between saved the audience from leaving the cinema hall. The second half of the movie was convincing and reflected more on the story plot. The filmmaker has explored on the emotional and mental trauma the couples go through when there is a rift through very beautiful melodious songs.

Splendid performances by Vijay Sethupathi,Nithya playing the power rugged couples and they just spiced up the entire movie through their natural gestures. Good performances from Yogi Babu, Chemban Vinod, Suresh, Thenappan,Kaali Venkat & Ganesan.

Hats off to the music director Santhosh Narayanan for the feel good songs in the movie.

A watchable entertainer that should definitely be attempted by the couples ruling out the flaws.

The movie has no story at all. It's about a couple who fight then makeup then fight and makeup, this keeps going on throughout the movie, tiring everyone out. And everyone is yelling all the time. I saw it on OTT and sound was unbearable. I sympathise with people who saw this in theatre, they must have gone deaf.

The 4 stars are for solid performances by all cast despite the lacklustre script. There are a few funny moments but there is only so much yelling one can take. So movie is a good way to get a headache(Thalavalli).

The film lacked emotional and narrative connectivity due to a poorly written screenplay, which failed to engage the audience or maintain a coherent flow between scenes.

The film struggles to create a strong emotional or narrative connection with the audience due to its weak screenplay.

Scenes often feel disjointed, and the story lacks a smooth, logical flow.

Important plot points are either rushed or underdeveloped, reducing the overall impact.

Despite this, the casting is spot-on, with each actor fitting their role perfectly.

The performances are commendable and could have shined more with a better script,
