Kavan

The movie started off in a normal way but the way the power of media proved to be good as well as bad. Vijay Sethupathy's way of using pun in his dialogue took the heat of the media required for the movie to a different level. I felt that they cornered the media into too much of negative side which is slightly cinematic from reality. Especially, TR's role in the movie is mind blowing. All casts were well used and made a great impact in the movie. K.V. Anand and his love for media and politics again came into perfection after "KO"..

Often times, we get carried away by sensational news headlines and dramatic reporting. Kavan is a movie that shows how unethical some media houses can be. It is also about how the media panders to the whims of influential people such as politicians even to the point of victimising innocent people. It is mostly business without much regard for ethics or social responsibility. Bose Venkat has acted well as the crooked politician who seeks popularity through the media. Vijay Sethupathi as the the investigative journalist excels in his role. T. Rajendar plays an important role as the owner of a television station. Madonna Sebastian does not have a very significant role but complements Sethu as his girlfriend. Jegan provides some laughs. The song 'Oxygen' is worthy of mention,and cinematography is excellent.

The movie was good. The story was also good in the movie. Everyone acted very well in the movie. Songs and BGM in the movie was superb. Good movie.

Director K.V.Anand keeps us engaging for 160 minutes with Kavan. The movie may have been based on some Clichés, but the movie is taken from a fresh perspective of what happens behind the cameras of the media. K.V.Anand is known for thinking out of the box, if you look at his movies "Matraan","Ayan","Anegan",etc.

The movie had a fast screenplay,for instance ,the movie's first 10 minutes was equal to an average Tamil movie, Such fast-paced the movie was. the main plot may have gotten buried upon all the things happening in the movie,the Audience may never even get the time to notice it. "Kavan" prompts the Audience to use their brains to all the things they were oblivious in the past.

Further, reviewing the movie without spoiling was that all the songs were good, HipHop Tamizha has done a good job, the songs will be in your head for a while, although the background scores could have been made more engaging. Coming to the cast,it had "Makkal Selvan" Vijay Sethupathy as the lead and Madonna Sebastin, they both have done a perfect job and the other cast includes actors from 3 Generations like TR and Pandian has helped in making the movie more reachable to all types of audiences. The one scene that was worth mentioning was the Pre-Interval block scene,it was unpredictable and gripping like most of the scenes in the movie. K.V.Anand has used all the cast as perfect as possible, which is where many others fail. Overall the movie will give you the immense satisfaction of watching something never before. So, I suggest you to watch it in theaters.

Firstly kudos to the director kv Anand, Subha and Kabilan for putting their effort in telling the most happening story interestingly ! Tamil industries needs more collaborations in their story making or directing process for the betterment of the industries.

The first half interesting and gripping. The team were successful showing the dark side media in a funnier and simpler way. but the in the second half the story becomes more filmy/unrealistic ( compared to the first half )and becomes loosely packed by deviating a little bit/

The cast is perfect. VJS is in other league compared to other actors right now. Madonna, Jagan, Bose Venkat, pandiarajan have done justice to their role. I felt some of TR's one liners boring and unnecessary and the villain dubbing was awful. Music was apt, Oxygen and the bharathiyar songs were v good. editing could have been better.

Except the last 30 mins, movie maintains a high pace and draws the crowd well enough.

Final verdict : This movie just falls short of being a blockbuster. But it is worth to watch this in the theater a couple of times.

my rating :- 3.5/5
