Thevar Magan

Devarmagan is the must watching movie for all type of audiences.

Kamal is an evergreen actor ,writer ,producer given the best once again..

Sivaji is the legend and did legendary performance..

Its the movie for narrating the culture of south Tamilnadu, with excellent script and acting..

Gowthami performed well..

Revathi such an excellent actresses performed really well in the character..

Illayaraja music are rocking elements..

Overall this movie is one the best movie of Tamil cinema history.

So far many films are copied or inspired from godfather....but this is the best inspiration!.In fact the best example for an inspiration! The plus of the movie is the actor selection!Shivaji Ganesan as the father of Kamal.....the best possible combination of father-son in India.Shivaji with his memorable performance played his part to perfection.Kamal shines as a writer more than an actor in this movie.Nasser must be specified too..a good performance indeed.The movie looks so good due to the direction of Barathan..a renowned Malayalam director..who made the movie look so realistic and entertaining too!

Music by Ilayaraja.Ilayaraja is always good in rural based movies...and he shines here too.

Photography by P.C.Sriram which won him the national award..really an award winning photography.

Story and dialogue by Kamalhaasan...one of the best screenplays in Indian cinema.Dialogues are so powerful.In climax Kamal saying "pongada..poi pulla kuttigala padikka vaingada"(make your children study...don't let them indulge in violence)is awesome...the relationship between Kamal and Shivaji is explained wonderfully!

Shivaji Ganesan in many aspects resemble Marlon Brando in his acting and Kamal has been inspired by Al Pacino greatly which could be noticed by his acting.With these two great actors on screen with godfather outline..this must be the best inspiration of Godfather..10/10.

Wow, wow, wow!!!

Such a wonderful movie i would say. Theme, cast and crew at its best. Sivaji Ganesan vs Kamalhaasan Vs Ilaiyaraja vs Bharathan, who will you vote, i have no idea, this is supposed to called as the Show of LEGENDS. Nasser,Revathi, Vadivelu, Gowthami and every others didn't act but lived.The scene between Sivaji and Kamalhaasan is the best ever seen i have seen in my entire life.Dialogues are razor sharp.Some people claim this movie is inspired from Godfather, maybe but it didn't appear like that to me as this film is more concentrated on the traditional way of Devar(a caste in Tamilnadu).Its more like watching a epic.

U want to know the real meaning of a complete classic movie, go for it.

I bet you will like it.

Over all My rating 10/10.

Devar magan is my all time favourite movie.It brings the two versatile actors of Tamil Cine industry,even Indian Film Industry together to give a movie which depicts the reality of most villages and Devar's religion.The scene between Kamal and Shivaji remains one of the best ever scene in tamil cinema.May be Urban people may find it different, but the peoples from villages, will find at least one character or one event similar to their place or peoples.Though two Gems acting in same movie there is lot of scope for others to act and they all used it well.(Nasser,Gautami,Revathi and even Vadivelu).KamalHaasan-Ilayaraja music combination once rocks for the nth time.

Don't forget to watch it.

Don't miss the scenes between our dear Kamal and late Shivaji Ganeshan. It's an incredible movie with the best of best performances by Kamal and Sivaji Ganeshan Sir. Kamal is in top form and unmatchable when it comes to method acting. The movie grows on you scene to scene. Illayaraja's music is apt for the script. Support cast Revati and Gautami have done their best. I grew up watching Kamal and watching this masterpiece after decades made me salute to Kamal and the makers of yester years.
