THALAIVA TAMIL MOVIE REVIEW

Hahahaahhhaaahhhhaaaa... wait . please allow me to laugh at myself for opting to watch this movie first day first show . I deserve this lol . 

Thalaiva means The Leader . How I wish they had atleast opted to remake the telugu movie Leader instead . I am not a Vijay fan nor the director Vijay has a good reputation of making good movies other than Deiva Tirumagal  but after watching Vijay in Tupakki I decided to watch it .. Somebody said it right "Assumption is the mother of all fuckups in life " .

The Film's first half belongs to and banks on Santhanam alone . Its pity to see a Vijay's film banking on a comedian . Sheer Pity :( There is just a 5 minute scene before the interval which is the only interesting part of the movie . 

Vijay is Sathyaraj's son and he grows up in sidney . Sathyaraj is a do gooder don in mumbai dharavi area . Blame it on Maniratnam for Nayagan which is based on Dharavi that every film maker making a film on Tamilians settled in Mumbai takes this Dharavi as their main place for their stories . comeon guys it's not happening anymore . This movie could have very well been placed in chennai also . Dharavi doesn't add any weight to the story . So Vijay grows up in Australia without knowing anything about what his father is .. He never came to India it seems forget Mumbai . It's very weird that he never tries coming to India . 

The Intro song of Vijay is the worst intro song ever made on any hero in Indian films . Even Power Star Srinivasan would have a better intro song compared . We don't know what he is studying in Australia but just because his father says that you should not accept defeat and you should win at any cost .. he wins the college dance competition . There is then this Amala Paul who falls in love with Vijay and they together win the dance competition . Wait ... Did I forget to mention that Amala Paul meets with an accident because of the Rival group just few days before the dance competition ? Well that's to prove that our Hero will over come all hurdles and just because his father said so he wins the competition . Wait.. Did I tell you that Vijay's dance team gets disqualified from the competition in the intial stages itself just because Vijay's father makes a phone call at sharp 12 noon to talk to his son .. I wouldn't carry my phone at all if i were dancing as one of the troup members , forget being the dance lead . Wait .. if it's 12 noon in India , it's somewhere 5 pm in sydney right ? well the director didn't even care to take care of things like this . So Vijay after getting disqualified , gets qualified again by dancing in front of the college and his video goes viral on youtube such that they whole of sydney notices him and fuck the rules , the management decides to take him in just because his video on youtube get some 3 lakh hits . 

So the dance (read drama) goes on for half of the first half and somehow the lead pair fall in love and decide to meet satyaraj who is a big don in mumbai . Periya thala of komban villiage was better (read chennai express) . Thank god Santhanam was there or else I would have walked out even before the interval . Now Santhanam takes a backseat in the second half hence the second half is very boring . I think AL Vijay must be taking cocktails for his drinks hence this cocktail of Basha , Thalapathy , Nayagan & all the movies based on Mumbai Underworld . Now Satyaraj dies . So naturally Vijay becomes the Talavali .. sorry sorry Thalaiva for the masses . There is a song where he walks on the roads , roams around in cars .. shoots people blah blah blah .. this goes on till the climax and in the climax he kills the villain and becomes the undisputed Leader of Mumbai . I hope he stays on like that forever and no other director dares to take another movie on similar lines . 

I will tell you another funny thing or rather say foolish thing in this movie . there is an another second heroine (dont know who and didnt even care to find out ) who develops a feeling or so towards Vijay  addresses Vijay as Vishnu Bhai ..  do they know what BHAI means ? Benc@#&* ... 

I think this movie is not released in Tamil Nadu as someone has got a stay over the release . I hope they don't release this movie ever and the court bans this movie . It's a publicity gimmick which might get some moolah for the producers who has actually found out that this movie is very poor in content , poor in acting , poor in screenplay , pooor in music , poor in every department hence opted for this publicity gimmick .  

Well If I have writted very weird or seem to have blabbered , then I am sorry it's not my fault . after effects of watching Thalaiva . 

My Advice .. Spend those few hundreds on the best beer avaialable .. You will atleast enjoy those two hours ;)

Thalaiva ... Tevaya ? 

My reaction after watching Thalaiva ..
