Kaavalan

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!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

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.

Kaavalan is feel good entertainer....Truly speaking Vijay's performance was good in this movie especially in romance and Asin could have projected well(Like Nayan in Malayalam).Even though there are few changes made in Tamil to suit Vijay's image director did manage to maintains the hero's characterization consistently till the end.There are also some flaws in the story but can be forgiven since no movie is 100% perfect in Tamil cinema.... :) Raj Kiran , Roja, MS Bhaskar and Mithra lives up to their roles. Even though comedy is not like friends Vadivelu brings smiles whenever he comes in screen(Vijay and Vadivelu combo hits back after Sura). Vijay should have did this movie before Vettaikaran and Sura which was an ideal time but its not too late as it is evident that this movie proved in BO.Screenplay is quite slow and dragging in some places and Asin could have performed better. All the songs are perfectly placed except "Vinnai kappan oruvan" and the songs perfectly fit to the story.At last all the credits move to one man who made a tremendous comeback with this film and he is no other than "ILAYATHALAPATHY VIJAY", he carries the film on his shoulders from the start to the climax with his fantastic performance which is quite hard for anti Vijay fans to digest but we have to accept the truth that Vijay lived this role.

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.
