Kaavalan

Remake of Malayalam movie directed by Siddhiq, himself. 'Body Guard'. Plot: Bhoominathan (Vijay) is assigned to be the body guard of Meera (Asin) and Madhu (Mithra Kurian) by the person who he respects most, the person who has given his name - Muthuramalingam (Raj Kiran). Because of the restrictions of Bhoominathan, Meera get irritated and starts making blind calls to him. Story is not that great and the presentation too. But few aspects of the movie just helps the movie to score well - Vijay + comedy + a soft love story. Yes, film starts a twenty five year back just when Vijay's character is born. (Now a usual sequence in Malayalam films- may be because the writer com director is from Kerala). Story comes to the present tense. Vijay is introduced in a boxing championship but still a low voltage introduction scene for Vijay (Thanks). What followed was a poorly executed action sequence. Then a comedy scene with a dog and Vadivelu (Directly ripped from Priyadarshan's Malayalam movie - Minnaram). I lost complete interest with the movie. Then comes the first song - well choreographed one. The movie should have started from here. Movie picks up its pace well and what followed was a very entertaining first half. Vijay and Vadivelu hits bulls eye with their combo comedy scenes. Vijay's performance is highly impressive and you will watch a Vijay who was missing from theater for many years. First half is filled with comic sequences and second half with dramatic love story and few twists. Movies goes well. Movie works well - its a different Vijay movie, his charisma is back. Siddhiq stick to every Vijay formula but included many scenes which other directors of Vijay movies missed.

Vijay - one man holds the movie in his shoulder all the way. Vijay in a soft romantic role after many years and that works well and will easily reach his most dependable fans - Family and kids. This movie will attract them more than any of his last 10 films. As Bhoominathan, Vijay had 'acted' after a while. He delivers his best in Dance sequences (look out for - Step it Up..). Watch-out for his performance in the scene where he waits for his invisible lover in the park. Wow.. the old lovable Vijay is back. Asin - is just average. Something and many thing is missing in her face. She acted as if she is not interested and this feeling is not avoidable with a lot of close-ups scenes. Mithra Kurian - she looks very homely and does a good job. Rajkiran and Roja - good in their very limited roles.

Kavalan , remake of the Malayalam film Bodyguard, brings together the successful duo of Vijay and Siddique once again, not to mention the hit Vijay-Asin combination. Coming from Siddique, the man who gave us Friends, the expectations is of a Vijay starrer that would be rather different from the ones we have been offered lately. Kavalan is an emotionally narrated love story about a righteous and innocent man who is assigned the task of being a young woman's bodyguard. He puts full faith and confidence in anything that he does; his love story too blossoms because of these qualities. But, unwittingly, the faith that he shows is taken advantage of in a way that no one would imagine. It is not with malice or any villainy that this is done; but out of love and admiration towards such an innocent person. It is love and destiny that play hero and villain in this story of relationships. The movie also subtly tells us that it is never good to leave things untold for too long in love.

Overall, Kavalan is a movie that defies all the preset notions of a Vijay starrer that have been built over the last couple of years. It is his return to the romantic hero mould and also a call to all directors of the industry to stop pre-meditating 'over the top' scripts for him. A relatable love story shot in a cute and simple manner, rich with emotions.

Kavalan movie starring Vijay and Asin is getting positive reviews from the critics. This film has faced lot of hurdles prior to release and there were so many doubts expressed over the film's release. Kavalan finally got released on 15th January and is getting decent feedback.

Remake of a Malyalam hit, Kavalan has everything in to woo Vijay fans. Vijay, who has been running through lean patch in his career post Pokkiri is back with a bang. Siddique, who directed Malayalam original Bodyguard, is the director of this film too. Vidyasagar's music is passable and is in tune with the story.

Vijay is seen in a completely new avatar in Kavalan unlike his previous masala films. He did a simpleton role which is different from his regular larger than life roles. Asin too did a fine job and has made her reentry into Kollywood count. Kavalan got the positive buzz of the all released in pongal. The trade experts and reviews state that it will reach the hit mark comfortably. Way to go Vijay.

Real great comeback for Vijay after 5 in row dull movies.. Vijay(Boominathan) and Asin(Meera)Hattrick victory, Asin done her character very well, even Vadivel(Ammavasai), Mithu(Maathu).. Thalapathy tried good acting. but it lacks someplace also full marks for him.. its worth watching in theater. First half looks little slow and second half and shocking climax is the great backbone to the Movie.. Siddqe done good job to vi jay after Friends movie.. This will be a good comeback for vi jay to done well next movies better... After many movies All fans in Tamil industry accepted this movie is good including Ajith fans... Rajkiran done the same roll suits with his character by Muthuramalinga Devar god of Semmanor village. Thanks. Hope Vijay will give again Mega hit movie..

The movie title itself says that it involves both Kaval(Guard) and Kadhal(Love)...tats y it is named Kaaval(Kadhal)an. The movie starts with Bhoominaathan(Vijay)'s respect for RajKiran and his ambition to become a bodyguard. His parents will send him as bodyguard for RajKiran as he is wasting time in just stunt and action. But he finally turns out to be bodyguard of RajKiran's daughter Meera(Asin). Meera dislikes him being coming behind her in uniform. She tries to change him by making anonymous calls to him. He falls in love with the unknown girl who calls him(actually Meera). She too falls in love. Finally whether he accepts her or not, when he comes to know its Meera, watch it on screen. Vadivel's Comedy is too GOOD! Music By Vidyasagar also ROCKS! The song "Step It Up" showing his usual talent and a melodious song "Yaaradu" are the TOP 2 songs. Finally for the Incredible CLIMAX, HATS OFF to the Director SIDDIQUE! Totally Ilaiyathalapathy IS BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
