Kaaviya Thalaivan Audience Reviews

Fluentiama Perfect cast and a good story
PiraBit if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.
Aneesa Wardle The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
Guillelmina The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
karizmabadrinath Just watched "Kaaviya Thalaivan". Once again Vasantha balan has given a different and a good film. This film is really something which doesn't go well with the commercial audience. But Vasantha balan has given this in an engaging manner. A different movie which brings the pre-independence era and the drama troops lively on the screen. This film slightly reminds me of the "Sivaji ganesan" starrer yesteryear blockbuster film "Rajapart Rangadurai". Positives:- Right from the title, Siddarth and Prithviraj steals the show. This is the best performance of Siddarth till date. And my favourite of the film is the Cunning and evil character of Prithviraj. Even though Prithviraj has done similar roles in the past in Mollywood, he shows lots of maturity in this film. Everyone has done their job in a perfect manner. Nassar, Tambi ramaiah, Ponvannan, singampuli, Vedhika and the list of characters has given justice to their role. Music:- AR.Rahman's music adds a feather to this movie. He has produced a different album with hummable numbers, Aye Mr.Minor, Vanga makka and My fav. Yaarumilla song and the BGM suits the period of the film. Negatives:- The character of the Princess is mischievous but the actress doesn't looks promising this movie. Her smile and performance was really irritating for me. The scenes are almost predictable. Threats:- While I was in awe of appreciation during the end as I do for every movie I feel good, I noticed that I was the only person left in the Theatre as everyone left early without watching the full movie.Verdict:- Leave the usual masala aspects aside and Watch "Kaaviya Thalaivan" as a different recipe. You will really love this new flavour. My rating:- 10/10 simply for the efforts and execution

venkatesh ks The trailer was promising but the movie wasn't. There are many loopholes in the movie. For the first time when siddarth tell vande madhram the police arrest him. But later he do many dramas against British. Then where do the police have gone. Also the story of vengeance that is portrayed in this movie i dislike very much. Prithiviraj shoot siddarth for silly reason. Then if the gun trigger is fired accidentally for second time.....then why prithiviraj want to die at the end....siddarth did not die when prithviraj shot at the first time....so there are many confusions.... i went with much anticipation and came back with much disappointment
Karunal Chandru Kaaviya thalaivan is a drama about actors who do drama. When you say drama, it contains acting and music. Vasantha balan made his best to bring the best in both departments. Although I was not able to find the Rahman's touch in music, he still did pretty well for the bgm. Siddharth and Prithvi gave one of their best performances till date. Critics blamed Sidhaarth for his role in "Jigarthanda" saying, "He is just roaming around with bewildered look most of the time". And now in his next film , he gave one of the most powerful acting performances. You are supposed to hate Prithvi raj for his role but somehow how i felt Kaaviya thalaivan would have been even nicer if Prithvi played the "Kali" role.This is the time where short films are evolving on our state. Especially Sidhaarth's last movie "Jigarthanda" which is about a short film director, inspired a lot of youngsters to make short films. I believe in olden days people are just interested in acting and were approaching directors for getting chances. But now, almost everyone knows the technology to make a short film. People are willing to become directors like how they desperately wanted to become an actor.The short film makers can be influenced in two ways. One is they can see how people suffered to make dramas in the olden days, and feel could about the luxury of having technology in their pocket to take a video and publish to thousand people. The other is to see how Vasanth balan grew into a great director and now who works with Rahman. There are some scenes such as riots which made me wonder like "how did he even make it?!" Apart from small imperfections like lip syncing and logic fails, it looks like a well made movie.There is no comedy in this film, there is no Santhanam and Suri. There is not much romance in this film. There is no actions, fights. There is plenty of drama, emotions and songs. Mostly this is a film about dangers of one's Jealousy. Well, pretty much the same stuff shown on tamil serials all the time.I have heard people use to make fun of the people who act in drama saying they act for money. But there is art in that drama, which plays with human emotions. It can make you laugh, it can make you cry, it can make you fear. This film explains you that. I thought it would do more of that. The film was shown as it was set during Indian independence, the actors perform to bring patriotism in viewers minds. This film shows about actors trying to help freedom fighters. I thought the film will do more of that. While the film deviates a little bit and moves towards Independence, suddenly we see that this film is not about independence. What was shown on the climax was very emotional, but illogical, unacceptable, and unfitting. How on earth could he do that?! Rating – 3/5
