Kavan

The movie began in a artful manner, which is very different for a KV Anand movies.And later connected to the audience as a Kollywood dish.

The narration of elements and his own dialogue delivery of VJ Sethupathi.

With KV Anand's own recipe of twist the movie is a perfect blend of pure entertainer.

This movie is a perfect tribute to T.Rajender and Pandiraj who were entertainers of the past decades.

This movie comes at you with the subtlety of a train wreck. The villains are comically poor, the plotting ridiculous and the entire story could have been drafted by a group of well trained monkeys. Vijay Sethupathi does himself no favors as he apparently attempts to move from intelligent hero to unintelligible icon. I got tired of groaning, there were so many over the top unbelievable scenes. It is hard to choose what is the worst - the story, the dialogues or the acting. Split three ways, perhaps?

The movie started off in a normal way but the way the power of media proved to be good as well as bad. Vijay Sethupathy's way of using pun in his dialogue took the heat of the media required for the movie to a different level. I felt that they cornered the media into too much of negative side which is slightly cinematic from reality. Especially, TR's role in the movie is mind blowing. All casts were well used and made a great impact in the movie. K.V. Anand and his love for media and politics again came into perfection after "KO"..

Often times, we get carried away by sensational news headlines and dramatic reporting. Kavan is a movie that shows how unethical some media houses can be. It is also about how the media panders to the whims of influential people such as politicians even to the point of victimising innocent people. It is mostly business without much regard for ethics or social responsibility. Bose Venkat has acted well as the crooked politician who seeks popularity through the media. Vijay Sethupathi as the the investigative journalist excels in his role. T. Rajendar plays an important role as the owner of a television station. Madonna Sebastian does not have a very significant role but complements Sethu as his girlfriend. Jegan provides some laughs. The song 'Oxygen' is worthy of mention,and cinematography is excellent.

Firstly kudos to the director kv Anand, Subha and Kabilan for putting their effort in telling the most happening story interestingly ! Tamil industries needs more collaborations in their story making or directing process for the betterment of the industries.

The first half interesting and gripping. The team were successful showing the dark side media in a funnier and simpler way. but the in the second half the story becomes more filmy/unrealistic ( compared to the first half )and becomes loosely packed by deviating a little bit/

The cast is perfect. VJS is in other league compared to other actors right now. Madonna, Jagan, Bose Venkat, pandiarajan have done justice to their role. I felt some of TR's one liners boring and unnecessary and the villain dubbing was awful. Music was apt, Oxygen and the bharathiyar songs were v good. editing could have been better.

Except the last 30 mins, movie maintains a high pace and draws the crowd well enough.

Final verdict : This movie just falls short of being a blockbuster. But it is worth to watch this in the theater a couple of times.

my rating :- 3.5/5
