    Don't miss this gem!

    Kalaga Thaliavan- Brillant script, edgy and racy screenplay with a realistic take calls for a worthy watch.

    The real hero is the director who has shown the whistle blower concept and the backdrop story with so much power, and connects the jigsaw puzzle amazingly well.

    Udhayanidhi Stalin's role is unique and shows complete class. The real villainous hero Arav carries tremendous weight as he plays pivotal role with ruthless attitude. Much needed area around whistle blowers.

    Bruce Lee's mention is icing on the cake for sure.

    Don't miss this gem as the director has taken this in a more believable way.

    Terrific narration!!!

    Its very rare to witness a realistic fight scene in a hero vs villain genre movie. But, this one has and also had a gripping narration. This is the perfect movie I have seen where the protagonist has played a perfectly anonymous guy on a mission. He is equally scared about his reveal and how it will affect his kith and kins.

    The cuts to the flashback are right on the money. The last part gets flat as one is not able to perceive Udhayanidhi Stalin in a Taekwondo action avatar. This movie could have worked better had the casting been different.

    Magizh Thirumeni should be on the leagues of Lokesh Kanagaraj for his scripts and execution. Hope he finds his place soon!! Must watch!!

    Comrades against the Corporates

    Maghizh Thirumeni once again proved that his scripts are very unique and he is one of the most underrated flim director's of Tamil Industry.

    He has given opportunities for many young actors, cinematographer is also new.

    Kudos to the stunt choreographers, They have shown the real possible fight sequences not like the kind of impossible sequences which usually d done masala movie makers.

    Violent villian who is doing the pathological killings. You can feel the brutality of killings but with very less blood showers.

    All those comrade kind of characters are well written with the good screen presence.

    All in all a good thriller with the brilliant whistle blowing concept.

    Well done team Kudos... A Must Watch.

    Awesome script

    Awesome movie. The story, Direction, Twists and the scientific facts related to some chemical reactions are made the movie even better. The action sequences between villain and hero shown in a kind of realistic. Some where I felt we could have shown in better way. You can watch the movie it won't disappoint you. Hats off to the direction and actors who have a perfect touch to the characters. The movie brings out the true strategy of corporate companies. That was happening now in the realistic words. There are movies which shows the corporate crimes but this one is a different kind of story telling.

    Kalagathalaivan

    Kalagathalaivan is good movie and thriller and climax is awsm. Even romance were fantastic.good.

    The movie will be packed with suspense, crime and it would be engaging thriller. Magizh knows what is Udayanidhi is capable of 🙌 no unnecessary or unwanted mass element for the Hero and many director should watch this film so they can understand script needs a hero. There is only one fight which is realistic at the end. There is a dialogue kept in the film whatever be the situation one can beat one or two people at a time. These are strength of director. He did so much research on the film and that's visible. Overall you can for sure watch once in theatre. My Rating is 3 out of 5.
