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.

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

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.

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.
