Though I'm not a huge fan of kanganas tweets. But this movie definitely deserves better. Even actor in the movie has given a fabulous performance of recent times. -1 because the movie could have been a bit less dramatic and more realistic. The music is beautiful, it compliments the movie and scenes instead of being odd to the whole experience. A must watch! Miss at your own risk. Also, kangana Ranaut really needs to focus on her craft(she's good at it) rather than modiji ki bhakti. 🇮🇳
The fictional biopic goes on the theme of 'women empowerment' and has delivered it quite convincingly. The casting is too good and everyone has given their best performance. The interactions between J and Samuthrakani take the scenes to next level. Dialogues from Karky esp. For Karuna's character is just brilliant. Good entertaining film adaptation!!
Thalaivi - A good movie
What I loved : Casting & Acting of Kangana, Casting of Aravind Swami, Nassar AL Vijay's unexpected good direction Dramatic scenes made enjoyable without lag Story
What I hated : Aravind Swami's acting, Shivaji Ganeshan's casting with an unknown guy (eventhough he appears only for a minute, that was a totally nasty casting) Songs were below average
Overall felt good, plus after watching a movie in theatre after a decade !

Enjoyed it very much
Taut script and great acting across the board
Kangana shines as does Arvind Swamy and the all the support staff
Typical response from Kangana critics
Can't keep her down
She is irrepressible
Go to greater heights and smash the ceiling Kangana.
