Les virtuoses

Vasatha balan yet again proves that he is unqiue and sensible director. If you want to know wht is acting juz see this movie all the lead cast gave terrific performance, I thought it would boring period drama but trust me even though duration of movie is bit length I didn't get bored at all. ARR Background score was awestruck perfect BGM and songs, I didn't liked the songs when the audio got released but its nice while you watching the movie you feel perfect songs and placed very well. A great applause to the director to show exact small drama troupe culture and their life. I think some places director compromises himself. A must watch movie ..!!!

Siddharth's much awaited Kaaviya Thalaivan has finally hit the theatres today. The film, directed by Vasanthabalan is Tamil, Malayalam as well as Telugu. Our reviewer Subramanian Harikumar is watching the film at a theatre right now and has sent his first impression of the film.

Hari says, "The story revolves around a theatre group in pre- independence era run by ace veteran actor played by Naseer who takes in two young boys in his company – Kali and Gomathi played by Siddharth and Prithviraj respectively. Though Gomathi eyes to be Guru's favourite, it is Kali who charms him with his brilliant histrionics. This leads to jealousy swelling in the heart of Gomathi. Meanwhile, Kali falls in love with zamindar's daughter and Vadivu, who joins the theatre catches the eye of Gomathi. When Gomathi comes to know about Kali's affair, he informs it to the guru who in anger asks Kali to take pledge of never seeing the Zamindar's daughter again. Fearing their lives from Zamindar's wrath, the theatre group flees to an another town. But Gomathi becomes Guru's new favourite and Kali is sidelined. Soon the Guru passes away and differences crop between Kali and Gomathi, due to which Kali leaves the group.

Fictional Story of the popular Tamil drama artists and their troop who lived before and during the Indian Independent movement. The story is as close to the novel or real with the minor cinematic touches.

ACTING:

Not a big fan of Prithiviraj. But, he has done one of the best acting performance in this year in Tamil. If awards ceremonies have supporting actor category, he would bag all the awards including the National award (possible). Siddharth have done equal justice with his performance as the lead. Nasser, Vedhika and the troop has really done well.

TECHNICAL ASPECTS:

Cinematography gives the mood and settles down all the small glitches in the film. Color, tone, angles and execution is something close to astonishing ( par best to the Indian level).

Art direction is outstanding (awards are knocking the door). Editing is good.

Choreography is good. Dialogues are the best at any standard.

Music is soulful and admirable. This album and BGM would be considered for National awards or even it will win South Indian Filmfare.

Direction is good would have been better.

NEGATIVES: Screenplay is mediocre even the good editing doesn't help it. The film have some problems at the finishing line is dragged before the climax. The climax sequences are like stereotypical Tamil film. Still, I would say this as a better film than my words

1st HALF - Masterpiece. Pure cinematic experience. 2nd HALF - Could have been better but good.

Music, cinematography, Art direction and Dialogues will bag the awards.

Send this picture to Overseas film festivals would get honored from the real movie critics

This would be a Tamil Amadeus or Tamil Prestige

8.4*/10 for an International movie 9*/10 as a Indian/Tamil movie

"Kaaviya Thalaivan" as the title says, its is truly a head of acting excellence from Prithivraj & siddharth & nassar sir.. it's is the story about two drama actors set in the pre-independence Era of India. It's portrays some real cultural art & drama's of late Indians.

The movie start very good from the beginning to the end by some brilliant acting from siddharth & Prithivraj but their some predictable climax makes less impact to the audience.

As of the Music, A.R.Rahman's sir did his wonderful sounds in the background as well as songs are very good.

The Cinematography was great as we some excellent sets which portray's real drama's like in early 1940's. The dances shown in the film are really super, some acting scene's are extraordinary. never scene such acting before. Great movie with great artists. Thanks to vashandabalan sir for making such wonderful movies which portrays tamil culture.
