Kaavalan

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.

I wanna say this is not a regular Vijay movie. After seeing a sting of flops and xerox in the name of movies, I went to kaavalan with just few expectations. Well I have to say I was more than satisfied. Vijay Asin combo rocks.

Movie starts with a "not so usual" type of Vijay introduction and it gave an first impression that this might be a different movie. Few minutes into the movie we have an basic idea what the movie is gonna be about. Rajkiran, a former some type of don, names baby Vijay. Vijay as he grows up he just loafs in the village. So his parents pack him off to Rajkiran's place as a bodyguard.

There enters Vadivelu. With Vadivelu and few fights and sentiment, Vijay is assigned to look after Asin and her friend Mithra Kurian in their coll. He walks behind them all the time with a security uniform, Since he is good in studies, he is made to teach the female leads. These scenes are hilarious.

After being frustrated by all these, Asin, on the advice of her friend, calls up Vijay from an blocked number ad flirts with him on the phone. He first thinks its a prank call but then he gets addicted to the calls. But at the same time she realizes that Vijay respects her dad and her a lot.

As the film progresses the love between Vijay and Asin progresses but vijay has no idea that the girl is Asin. As the movie goes on, Asin completely falls in love with Vijay. what happens after this forms the rest of the story.

Basically the movie is good. Even though its yet another remake hit, its better than original craps like atm, sura. Best positives from this movie is Vijay's awakening to the fact that people hate his stereotype movies. And Asin's return to Tamil movies. In short the movie is good and can be watched.

A Heart touching love story after a long time in Tamil cinema. The first 80 minute are fast and very funny. Then the movie becomes a bit slow (in a good way). Park scene was very natural and emotional. I did not expect this much twist in a love story. The theater went crazy (screaming in a good way) every five minutes. Vijay was excellent. A movie to show his acting skills. He overshadowed all the other cast. Asin and Mithra looked older than he was. Asin changed a lot (for the worst). She has a plastic face. Mithras's acting was OK. Vadivelu was OK but his stay in the cine-field is definitely going to end very soon. Rajikiran was good. He should work with vijay in another movie with a meatier role.Roja did her part well. Step it up choreography could have been much better (considering vijay skills). Yaradhu was the best (of all the movies released in the recent time. Pattampoochi rocked. All the Songs were well placed in a Tamil movie. Overall, A very good movie after a long time.

When mindless commercial pot-boilers rule the roost in TN and it seemed a decent actor like Vijay, who was acting only in these kind of run-of-the-mill movies, might go nowhere in his career with his last few movies not doing that great. But Kaavalan comes as a whiff of fresh air. A out and out cute and a little different attempt from Siddique, Asin and Vijay makes Kavalan an enjoyable experience. Vadivelu's comical ventures keep you in splits. The climax is a stunner and an unexpected twist makes Kaavalan tick and climbs up several notches above other recent soft movies. A sure winner . Family audience will surely lap it up.

excellent come back for our hero after 2 years. it's a romance and comedy film. especially actor-comedian combination gave great response in theater as well as vijay-asin pair made as ha-trick hit movies especially climax is amazing.unexpected twist is there in last 30 min. after watching this movie everyone should feel something different. it was a big treat for all fans not only for vijay fans also the people who like story and entertainment. vijay played innocent character in this movie and he carried the movie in his shoulder till climax. when seeing this movie we felt like watching old vijay movies. this one will be the best movie in 2011 according to my opinion.finally it was family entertainment watch it and feel it.
