Kaaviya
Thalaivan
had
created
massive
expectations
as
the
genre
of
the
film
itself
suggested
that
the
movie
will
be
very
unique
in
an
age
of
science
fiction.
The
movie
has
already
opened
with
positive
reviews
from
fans.
Fans
who
have
expressed
their
thoughts
on
the
movie
have
reportedly
been
impressed
with
Siddharth's
characterization
and
his
acting
skills.
The
fans
have
also
praised
director
Vasanthabalan's
screenplay
and
his
vision
to
produce
such
a
wonderful
film
in
which
each
and
every
technicians
toil
is
easily
visible.
The
film
is
set
in
the
early
20th
century
and
is
about
two
good
friends
played
by
Siddharth
and
Prithvi,
who
also
happen
to
be
theatre
artistes.
Both
are
raised
and
are
taught
the
art
to
excel
in
stage
drama
and
its
nuances
by
their
teacher
and
mentor
Thavathiru
Sivadas
Swamigal
played
by
Nassar.
The
two
of
them
go
on
to
become
the
most
talented
artistes
of
their
time
and
their
drama
company
grows
beyond
their
imagination
because
of
these
two
talented
artistes.
Everything
works
out
well
until
the
competition
between
two
good
friends
becomes
unhealthy
and
things
end
up
in
a
pretty
bad
shape.
Will
they
revive
their
friendship
and
subsequently
revive
the
future
of
their
drama
troupe?
Overall
this
historical
period
drama
is
about
the
journey
of
two
such
friends.
Siddharth,
who
is
the
main
protagonist
in
the
movie
has
excelled
with
his
strong
performance
and
Prithviraj's
characterization
and
his
performance
is
equally
good.
Vedhicka
who
impressed
one
and
all
in
Paradesi
has
done
a
fantastic
job
in
portraying
her
character.
Supporting
actors
Nassar,
Ponvannan
and
Thambi
Ramaiah
too
have
dished
out
excellent
performances.
Anaika
Soti's
role
doesn't
have
much
scope
when
compared
to
others.
Technicalities:
As
usual
AR
Rahman's
songs
and
background
music
stands
out
and
has
turned
out
to
be
the
backbone
of
the
movie.
Vasanthabalan's
screenplay
and
his
ability
to
bring
his
vision
on
screen
is
commendable.
Nirav
Shah's
cinematography
is
absolutely
magical.
KL
Praveen's
editing
has
made
sure
the
audiences
are
hooked
to
the
film.
Art
director
and
costume
designers
get
a
special
mention
for
their
outstanding
contribution.
Overall
View:
Kaaviya
Thalaivan
is
a
classic
from
Vasanthabalan
which
is
simply
brilliant
except
for
the
song
placement
of
'Yaarumilla'
song
which
disturbs
the
pace
of
the
movie.
But
that
shouldn't
stop
anyone
from
witnessing
Kaaviya
Thalaivan's
magic
in
theatres.
Watch
out
for
the
dialogue
between
Siddharth
and
Nassar
before
the
interval
and
the
conversation
between
Siddharth
and
Prithviraj
in
the
climax
which
are
the
highlights
of
this
extraordinary
film.
