Thalaivan Thalaivii

Rating - 2.75/5

A slapstick fun to watch entertainer set on the backdrop of a temple turned out preachy and monotonous.

The director through the story highlights on the minor rifts between couples and how it turns out to be a trauma for the couples, children and the immediate family members when everyone gets dragged into the endless fight.

Pandiraj has conceived a good entertaining story but the way he portrayed it on screen turned out to be too preachy in the initial half. The monotonous activity being done by different characters turned out to be really monotonous for the audience though some subtle humour in between saved the audience from leaving the cinema hall. The second half of the movie was convincing and reflected more on the story plot. The filmmaker has explored on the emotional and mental trauma the couples go through when there is a rift through very beautiful melodious songs.

Splendid performances by Vijay Sethupathi,Nithya playing the power rugged couples and they just spiced up the entire movie through their natural gestures. Good performances from Yogi Babu, Chemban Vinod, Suresh, Thenappan,Kaali Venkat & Ganesan.

Hats off to the music director Santhosh Narayanan for the feel good songs in the movie.

A watchable entertainer that should definitely be attempted by the couples ruling out the flaws.

"Thalaivan Thalaivii" has a lot going for it, but it also feels like a missed opportunity. The first half is solid, setting up an intriguing premise and introducing some well-developed characters. The performances, particularly from the supporting cast, are commendable, and the visuals are stunning. However, the film loses its momentum in the second half. The plot becomes predictable, and some of the emotional scenes don't quite land as intended. The comedy, while funny in parts, feels a little forced in others. It's a decent one-time watch, especially if you're a fan of the lead actor, but it doesn't quite live up to the hype. The climax feels a bit rushed, leaving you wanting a more satisfying conclusion. It's not a bad film by any means, but it could have been so much more.

Excellent family movie , the fights , the story plot , specially acting of both @actorvijaysethupathi and @nithyamenen 👌🏻 apart from these persons acting Deepa akkas performance oriented acting 😯 what a lady 👌🏻

This movie has slow screenplay and some scenes have more length which doesn't suit the Film.

Music - @musicsanthosh on family mode 😌 pure and classical Best to to watch with families.

Plot: Husband and wife fight loudly --> More fighting --> Husband's family and wife's family fight --> More fighting --> Movie climax --> Still fighting

Was there a story in this movie at all? There's a whole mileu of characters that are introduced throughout the movie, with absolutely no coherent storyline tying all of them together.

It's just a bunch of characters shouting at each other.

I would personally suggest avoiding this movie, especially if you're someone who values a well-balanced screenplay and engaging storytelling. Unfortunately, this film falls flat in multiple areas. The most jarring aspect is the excessive shouting throughout the movie. It felt like the characters were constantly yelling at each other without any emotional depth or reason, which became exhausting very quickly.

The screenplay is poorly structured and lacks pace. The story moves at a snail's pace, and what was supposed to be a 2-hour movie ends up feeling like a 5-hour marathon. There are numerous scenes that serve no real purpose to the story and only contribute to stretching the runtime unnecessarily. As a result, the film struggles to hold your attention for long.

Another major letdown is the inclusion of random songs that are forced into the film. These songs break the flow of an already weak narrative and feel completely out of place. Rather than enhancing the emotional quotient or the storytelling, they only add to the lag.

The movie also relies heavily on action sequences, most of which feel repetitive and unnecessarily loud. There's a lack of meaningful dialogue, character development, or any strong emotional connect. It appears the filmmakers were more focused on creating noise and chaos rather than crafting a compelling story.

Overall, the film feels like an exhausting experience with very little reward. It neither entertains nor leaves a lasting impression. Unless you're a hardcore fan of over-the-top action and loud performances, you might want to skip this one.
