Raj Kumar According to Irresistible force paradox "What happens when an unstoppable force meets an immovable object?" .This is best suited to flicks in which a successful director meets a successful actor. In this venture either one of them is bound to go out of their way to satisfy the other. In case of "Thalaiva", the director sacrifices and becomes a savior bigger than the one pictured throughout the film.For how long will a savior be symbolized by a slow motioned- sun etched silhouette and a trademark dress that becomes the savior's uniform? This is one of the many questions that arose during the movie. There are many such obvious flaws which make the movie less interesting than it should have been.For a start, the first half runs on two factors, the protagonist's romantic track and his dance competition. But, it doesn't take a genius to figure out how both the tracks are likely to end and this creates a vacuum between the viewers and the viewed. Santhanam tries to fill this vacuum but after a while, the "bro" factor loses its charm and becomes another speed breaker in the already slow screen play.The second half is nothing but the old coffee brewed under a new outfit but the essence and odor remains the same. The unnecessary addition of characters (Australian gang that competes with Vijay) questions the credibility of the director, this is the first time that the director has used violence to this extent, the only reason being the hero himself.Sathyaraj plays a calm mannered Don similar to Velu Naickar (Nayagan) but his presence is felt mostly through his chant "Anna" and his snapshots. Amala paul plays two shades of Grey in the two halves and ends up as the better half.Actor Vijay should pay the same attention to the screenplay that he does to his character. After a rejuvenating success of "Thuppaki" that pulled in repeat audiences, this film is bound to disappoint. The flick lacks pace, never gives the audience a chance to guess, lacks a powerful villain and is scripted for the hero rather than being the other way around.When Vijay and Santhanam are offered a hot drink, they identify it as Black Coffee but the chef calls it "RASAM" (Curry). The same goes for the movie.Tamil Cinema desperately needs better scripts and powerful villains.Until we get another Thuppaki, "I AM WAITING", thuppaki style.

alexandrew9113 Nayagan+Basha+Sarkar+GodFather+Santhanam=Thalaivaa! Worst Movie Than Sura And AlexPandiyan.. Theatre Owners of TamilNadu Agreed To Buy It Less Than 40% Amount Which Was Said By The Producer As Minimum Guarrentee... Producer Faced Nearly 40Crores Loss(15Cr(Late Release)+25Cr(Theatre Owners Loss)) Which Breaked Kadal records Which Created Loss Upto 16Crores... I Don't Know Why They Directed This Movie Which Already Seen By All Of Them... Even Though The Movie Is Outdated Script.. I'm Sure That The Movie Will Not Ran Even if It Is Released In 1980's.. Any Way Our SAC(Father Of Vijay) Make This Movie To Ran 100Days In PostersWhatever It Is.. Vijay Fans Gonna Say That Thalaivaa is a Super Movie and It Collected 100crores In Box Office...(My Neutral Review)My Rating : 1Mark For Movie and 1Mark For Actors = 2/10

Vijay Da Storyline is nothing new as promised by the trailer. It is a typical don story portrayed in a gripping manner.First half offers very little except for the climax twist. Director AL Vijay should have concentrated more on it. By the time when you lose the hope on the movie, the second half saves the movie.The build up scenes for Vijay replacing his father as don who save his local people was convincing.Vijay as Vishwa bhai is one of Vijay's best performance till date. Sathyaraj as Vijay's father who played a don was apt for that role. But there wasn't much scope for acting and he shares a very little space on screen.Amala Paul who played Vijay's love interest looked pretty in first half. She has been utilized well. Santhanam's comedy was good though it wasn't a major plus.GVP's bgm was very effective during 2nd half and his tune for Vijay and Amala Paul dance was good.Nirav Shah's cinematography superbly captures Australia's richness and Mumbai's dark side. Stunts by Stunt Silva suited for the film well.Overall, Vijay fans can feel the mass in 2nd half. Neutral audience can give it a try for the second.Thalaivaa - Vijay's winning streak continues.

rbharathi0706 A L Vijay's & Vijay Thalaivaa is one and only treat for Vijay fans. As this movie is mixed up versions of Nayagan & Devarmagan, those who did n't watch these films they might like. The other side Vijay looks awesome and appearance style everything cool this will be added advantage for his fans. Santhanam also gives his best. AL VIjay the Director he used Amala Paul in correct method. Satyaraj performed well. But the screenplay in the film has came so many times in the earlier films, especially climax. If repetition is avoided people may like. The biggest mistake is Director Vijay has to avoid same screenplay from his next movies. Simply Thalaivaa struggle to reach the collection.
