Sathyam is always the best one to watch high profile movies. Their projection is the best I've seen in Chennai and Sound system suits mass films like Thalaiva & Thuppakki.

Agree on yaar indha salai..Tamil pasanga is horrible..not sure why many are raving abt the choreography..Vijay's intro song choreography has been poor since vettaikaran..the last good one was ATM..namba director should get the services of Ballywood fellas

Yes. I also disppaointed with Tamil pasanga. Neraya edathula steps la clarity miss aaguthu. Seems otudoor shoot naala sikirama eduthu mudichitaanga pola.

தலைவாவுக்கு வந்த பிரச்சினைகள், தலைவாவுக்குள் உள்ள அரசியல், இந்தப் பிரச்சினைகளுக்குப் பிந்தைய அந்தப் படம் பற்றின இமேஜ்... அத்தனையையும் மூளையிலிருந்து துடைத்தெறிந்துவிட்டுப் படத்தைப் பார்க்க முயன்றேன். அப்படிப் பார்த்ததிலிருந்து.... மும்பை தமிழர்களுக்கு காட்பாதராகத் திகழும் அண்ணா சத்யராஜை, சூழ்ச்சியால் கைது செய்கிறது போலீஸ். காதலுக்கு பர்மிஷன் கேட்க ஆஸ்திரேலியாவிருந்து வந்த மகன் விஜய் கண்ணெதிரிலேயே அவரை குண்டுவைத்துக் கொல்கிறார்கள்.

திரும்ப ஆஸ்திரேலியாவுக்கே போக அரை மனசோடு விமான நிலையம் கிளம்பும் விஜய்யை, மும்பை தமிழர்களுக்கு தலைவனாக அழைக்கிறார்கள். அவரும் அடுத்த சீனிலேயே டைட்டான சட்டை, எம்ஜிஆர் கண்ணாடி போட்டுக் கொண்டு முகத்துக்கு நேரே விரல்களை கோர்த்துக் கொண்டு... தலைவனாகி விடுகிறார். மும்பையில் எவ்வளவு பெரிய கலவரம் நடந்தாலும் ஒரு எஸ்யூவியில் அவரும் நான்கு அடியாட்களும் மட்டுமே போய் அடக்கி விடுகிறார்கள். வில்லன் சும்மா இருப்பானா... அண்ணாவைக் கொல்ல 17 ஆண்டுகள் ஜெயிலில் அண்ணா அண்ணா என நிஷ்டையில் இருந்தவன், அடுத்து விஜய்யைக் கொல்ல 'ம்ம்... விஷ்வா...' என அடித்தொண்டையில் உறுமியபடி யோகாவில் உட்கார்கிறான். பாங்கு அடித்து பங்காகி விழுந்து கிடக்கும் விஜய்யின் ஆட்களை முதலில் கொல்கிறான். அடுத்த காட்சியில் வில்லனைத் தேடி விஜய் போக, அங்கே விஜய்யைப் பின்னால் குத்துகிறது ஒரு கை... அது விஜய்யின் சித்தப்பா பொன்வண்ணன்!

குத்தியவுடன் செத்துப் போனால் அப்புறம் எப்படி ஹீரோ? ரத்தம் வழிய வழிய, ஒற்றைக் கையை மடக்கியபடி புரட்டி எடுக்கிறார் வில்லன் கோஷ்டியை. கடைசியாக சைரன் ஒலிக்க அமலா போலீஸ் வருகிறார். செத்துப் போய் பிணமாகக் கிடக்கும் வில்லன் கோஷ்டி மீது ஒரு ரவுண்ட் புல்லட்டை இறக்கிவிட்டு... 'தப்பி ஓடப் பாத்தாங்க.. சுட்டுட்டேன். தூக்கிட்டு வாங்க' என்று சொல்லி, மறைந்து நிற்கும் காதலனைக் காப்பாற்றிவிட்டுப் போகிறார். அடுத்த சீனில் அப்பாவின் சிவப்பு சால்வையைப் போர்த்தியபடி விஜய் வர.. தலைவா! இந்த மூன்று மணிநேரக் கதையையும் பார்த்து முடிக்கும்போது உங்களுக்கு நாயகன், பாட்ஷா, தளபதி, புதிய பறவை, அமீரின் ஆதிபகவன், தேவர் மகன், சர்க்கார்... என மாறி மாறி பல படங்கள் மண்டைக்குள் வந்து போனால்... அதற்கு இயக்குநர் விஜய் பொறுப்பல்ல... அந்தப் படங்களைப் பார்க்கும் உரிமைதான் உங்களுக்கு இருக்கிறது. இயக்குநர் என்ற முறையில் அந்தப் படக் காட்சிகளால் 'இன்ஸ்பையர்' (காப்பின்னு சொன்னா கத்தியத் தூக்குறாங்ணா!) ஆகும் உரிமை அவருக்கு இருக்கிறதல்லவா!! சரி, எதோ.. ஒரு கலவைக் கதைன்னு வச்சிக்குவோம். இதில் ஒரு முக்கியமான கேள்வி... பொன்வண்ணன் வில்லனின் கையாளாச்சே... அப்புறம் எதுக்கு விஜய்யை இரண்டு மணி நேரத்துக்கு வில்லன் துரத்த வேண்டும். அடுத்த காட்சியிலேயே போட்டுத் தள்ளியிருக்க முடியுமே... போங்க டைரக்டர் சார்! இவ்வளவு படங்களிலிருந்தும் சுடப்பட்ட காட்சிகளில், அதெல்லாம் தெரிந்த மாதிரியே காட்டிக் கொள்ளாமல் நடிப்பது எத்தனை பெரிய கஷ்டம்! ஹீரோ விஜய் அந்த வேலையை சிறப்பாக செய்திருக்கிறார்.

நடனம்தான் விஜய்யின் ஸ்பெஷல். இத்தனைக்கும் இந்தப் படத்தில் அவர் டான்ஸ் ஸ்கூல் வேறு நடத்துகிறார். இருந்தும் அவரது சிறந்த நடனத்தைப் பார்க்க முடியவில்லை. அவரும் அமலா பாலும் ஒரு தீம் இசைக்கு ஆடுகிறார்கள். அப்போது பார்த்து நமக்கும் கமலும் ரேவதியும் புன்னகை மன்னனும் இளையராஜாவும் நினைவுக்கு வந்து தொலைக்கிறார்கள்! படத்தில் காமெடியன் சந்தானம். ஒவ்வொரு வசனத்துக்கும் அவர் புரோ புரோ என்று விஜய்யை அழைக்க, பதிலுக்கு விஜய்யும் அதைத் திருப்பிச் சொல்ல... அக்கம்பக்கத்து சீட்டெல்லாம் கடுப்பில் 'பர்ர்ர்'! ஆனால் சந்தானம் விட்ட குறையை காக்கி ட்ரஸ்ஸில் வந்து கிச்சு கிச்சு மூட்டுகிறார் அமலா பால். ஆ... மறந்தே போயிட்டோம்ல சத்யராஜை. அந்த மனுசன கிட்டத்தச்ச சுவத்துல தொங்க வச்ச படம் மாதிரி பயன்படுத்தியிருக்காங்க. ஆரம்பக் காட்சியிலிருந்து செத்துப் போகும் வரை, ஒரே மாதிரி முகத்தை வைத்துக் கொள்ளச் சொல்லிவிட்டார் போலிருக்கிறது இயக்குநர். நீங்க பாட்டுக்கு நடிங்கன்னு சொல்லியிருந்தா கூட, ஆயிரம் எக்ஸ்பிரசன்ஸ் காட்டி அசரடிக்கிற நடிகரை வீணாக்கியிருக்காங்க! மனோபாலா, சுப்பு, காலில்லாத இளைஞன், விஜய்யை கணக்குப் பண்ண முயற்சித்து பின்னர் காப்பாற்றி உயிர்விடும் இன்னொரு ஹீரோயின் (அமலா பாலை விட இவர் அம்சமாகத்தான் இருக்கிறார்!)... எல்லோருமே கொடுத்த வேலையை குறைவின்றி செய்திருக்கிறார்கள்.

அந்த வில்லன்... ஒரு படத்தில் 'உன்னைப் பாத்தா வில்லன் பொன்னம்பலத்துக்கு காலரா வந்த மாதிரியே இருக்குடா' என்பார் விவேக், இந்த வில்லனைப் பார்க்கும்போதெல்லாம் அதுவே நினைவுக்கு வர, அவரை சிரித்துக் கொண்டே பார்க்க வேண்டியதாகிவிட்டது. நீரவ்ஷாவின் ஒளிப்பதிவு ஓகே. அமலா பாலின் மேக்கப்பை அம்பலமாக்கும் அளவுக்குப் போயிருப்பதாலோ என்னமோ நீரவ்ஷாவின் துல்லியம் உறுத்தலாகத்தான் இருக்கிறது! ஜீவி பிரகாஷ்... இன்னும் வளரணும் தம்பி என்று சொல்வதைத் தவிர வேறொன்றுமில்லை. பாவம் அவரும் என்னதான் செய்வார்... ஏற்கெனவே பார்த்த பழைய சீன்களை இயக்குநர் விவரிக்க, இவரும் ஏற்கெனவே கேட்ட பழைய இசைத் துணுக்குகளை பாலீஷ் போடப் பார்த்திருக்கிறார். இயக்குநர் விஜய் அவர்களே... ஒரு கேள்வி.. ஒரே ஒரு கேள்வி... சொந்தமாக ஒரு காட்சியையாவது எப்போது உருவாக்கப் போகிறீர்கள்?

Watched yesterday night show in vetri. Very happy with the film. Enjoyed second half more than the first half. Vijay's body language, expressions were awesome.Improved very much as an actor after sura debacle.
It will not have electric goosebumps scenes like thuppaki. But definitely worth watching.

Review: Thalaivaa is Vijay's show all the way
August 21, 2013 11:37 IST

S Saraswathi says Vijay giving an amazing performance in Thalaivaa which is full of action, drama and emotion.

After much drama and controversy, Ilayathalapathy Vijay’s Thalaivaa, one of the biggest and most anticipated films of the year, finally released in theatres in Tamil Nadu and Pondicherry. The film had run into some trouble due to several issues like bomb threats to theatre owners, the entertainment tax waiver issue, as well as the alleged political content of the movie.

Thalaivaa is directed by A L Vijay and has Amala Paul of Mynaa fame playing the female lead opposite actor Vijay. The film also features Sathyaraj, Santhanam, Ragini Nandwani, Rajiv Pillai, and Abhimanyu Singh.

The film was dubbed and released simultaneously in Telugu as Anna - Born to Lead.

Inspired by Nayagan and Sarkar (the director thanks Mani Ratnam and RGV in the opening credits), Thalaivaa is all about how circumstances force an individual to don the mantle of leadership.

The story opens in Mumbai in 1988 with the death of Vedhabhai, an underworld don, who looked after the interests of the Tamils in the Dharavi slum area. His death triggers violence in the area as his rivals attempt to take control.

It is at this time that Ramadurai (Sathyaraj) intervenes and offers his protection to the people. Unfortunately, his wife is killed in the struggle. Not wanting to taint his only son Vishwa (Vijay) with the path of violence that he has chosen, Ramadurai sends him to Australia with a friend.

As the years go by, Ramadurai grows more and more powerful and respected. The people lovingly refer to him as Anna, their leader and saviour.

Meanwhile, Vishwa grows up to be a passionate dancer in Sydney, Australia, where he and his friend Logu (Santhanam) own a mineral water bottling factory. Vishwa meets Meera (Amala Paul) while supplying water to her father’s restaurant and they fall in love.

Meera’s father too is happy with her choice, but wants to meet Ramadurai to discuss marriage plans. The first half of the movie ends with the three of them leaving for India, where Vishwa is in for a huge shock as he has absolutely no idea that his father is Mumbai’s most feared underworld don.

The film which until then seemed like a light-hearted romantic comedy suddenly takes a very serious turn with lots of violence, bloodshed, vengeance and death. We also have the usual crooked policemen and the corrupt politician along with several Hindi-speaking goons.

The transformation of the young and carefree Vishwa into the mature and intense Vishwabhai, both physically and emotionally, is brilliant. Actor Vijay has given a very subtle yet powerful performance.

In fact, except for Abhimanyu Singh, who plays the villain, almost everyone has given a good performance. Sathyaraj though could have been given a bigger role to play. Santhanam is hilarious with his typical one liners and Amala Paul does not just add to the glamour quotient, but has an important role to play in the story.

Thalaivaa has music by G V Prakash and the songs have definitely clicked with music lovers, especially the younger generation. The song, Vaanganna Vanakkanganna by actor Vijay is one of the highlights of the movie; it has the young G V Prakash dancing to the beats along with Vijay and Santhanam.

Another major plus for the movie is the cinematography. Cameraman Nirav Shah has cleverly captured both the relaxed and friendly atmosphere of Australia and the frenzied hostile environment in Mumbai, thereby creating two completely different moods in the film.

Though the plot is not new and there is not enough pace, the film does have enough twists and turns to keep the audience engrossed. The biggest letdown, however, is the length--the film just seems to go on forever.

Ilayathalapathy Vijay’s Thalaivaa has loads of action, drama and emotion but there is no denying that the film is a one-man show. It is Vijay all the way.

Despite making its way to theatres 11 days after the worldwide release, "Thalaivaa" has opened well in Tamil Nadu.

The Vijay starrer, which faced some issues, was finally released in Tamil Nadu and Puducherry on Tuesday (20 August). Fans were jubilant and celebrated the film's release with much fanfare. As part of a traditional affair, fans poured milk on the cut-outs of the actor and garlanded his posters and banners.

At Chennai's Udhayam theatre, "Thalaivaa" received a king's welcome. The reel box of the film was brought in a chariot by fans after they performed pooja at a temple for the film's success. They danced on the way from the temple to the theatre, giving a mass welcome to their star's film.

"Fans were waiting for the theatre gates to open since 6 a.m. in the morning. They wanted to set up everything before the release of the film. Most of Vijay's fans wore t-shirts with his image on it and were dancing to his songs," a representative of Udhayam theatre told Indo-Asian News Service.

"Thalaivaa" also received a grand reception from fans in other parts of the state. The film opened to a solid start despite getting released on a weekday. Confirming the news, senior film journalist Sreedhar Pillai tweeted, "#Thalaivaa has opened well in TN, on a working day, 11 days after its international release!"

"Thalaivaa" was released peacefully in approximately 405 theatres across the state. "We didn't have any problem since morning. It has been a very smooth release. In some of the big and old theatres, police were deployed to ensure fans maintain decorum. The response has been phenomenal as thousands turned out to on a weekday to see the film," Sunil Jain, son of "Thalaivaa" producer Chandraprakash Jain, told IANS.

"Thalaivaa" witnessed a good percentage of occupancy in theatres. At Chennai's Mayajaal multiplex, 85-90 percent occupancy was registered since morning. According to trade analyst Trinath, "Thalaivaa" is expected to have collected between ₹5 crore and ₹10 crore on its opening day in Tamil Nadu.

The action-drama flick is likley to perform better in the coming days. "Thalaivaa" does not have much competition this week as only one Tamil film is releasing on Friday (23 August). Earlier, four films were scheduled to make it to the theatres but "Thalaivaa" has apparently accomodated most screens. This situation has forced makers of three new films to push their release date further.

Vimal's "Desinguraja" is the only flick confirmed for a release on 23 August. It might not hamper "Thalaivaa" collections, as Vijay films are more popular among the audience.

If everything is average, why Vijay and his movies are in demand be it Satellite Rights / Theatres / Producers / Directors

C P Jain said that he waited for 4 Years to get the dates from Vijay
Jilla satellite right is already sold for 18 Crores , just finished 1 schedule

WHAT AJITH AND RAJINI TOLD VIJAY?

Vijay fans were angry as none of the stars had supported their idol during the Thalaivaa crisis. However, this is not true as several stars including and Rajini and Ajith had called up Vijay to express their solidarity.

While Ajith had asked Vijay to remain calm and not to get tensed as it would take a toll on his health, Rajini had said that such situations do crop up at times and it only tests our patience. Both Rajini and Ajith had offered their full cooperation to Vijay and their help as well.

BEHINDWOODS ARTICLES

THALAIVAA - THE HIT ELEMENTS THAT WORKEDBy Abhishek Krishnan

Ilayathalapathy Vijay appeared to be right on track after his back to back satisfactory successes in Nanban and Thuppakki. Director Shankar and director Murugadoss, the nimble storytellers who helmed Nanban and Thuppakki respectively, were quite evidently the ones who played a major role in bolting a stronger track for Vijay.

The next person on the list, who had been working laboriously, putting in a lot of effort to shape up his tools in order to bolt the track tighter, was director A.L. Vijay. After making neat films such as Kireedam and Madrasapattinam, director Vijay managed to narrate a story that produced a positive nod from the Ilayathalapathy. After acting as a college boy and a military officer in Nanban and Thuppakki, A.L Vijay looked at promoting Vijay to the next level, bestowing him the role of a leader.

But, did director Vijay weave his story well enough to justify the leader in it? The treatment of the screenplay may just not receive a standing ovation. However, with the movie finally releasing yesterday, the August 20th, in Tamilnadu, we look at few aspects in the film which contributed to churn out just enough glue that could be spread along the edges of the seats.

VIJAY

It is great to watch a Vijay movie in a theater packed with his ardent fans. His introduction scene sent whistles and cheers pulsating through the crammed hall. His dance, which has always been a delight to watch, did not cease to fascinate us. His introduction song, Thamizh Pasanga, was brilliantly choreographed, setting up a good intro for the actor with what he is best at.

Vijay has managed to maintain a consistent body shape all through his career which is slowly shaping up to form a perfect V shape.

The sequences after the first half, that transform the dancer into a leader, definitely induces goose bumps through any hard core fan of Vijay. His appearance in a white shirt and blue jean all through the second half dictates a new subtle style statement.

SATHYARAJ

The introduction of Sathyaraj in a period set in the late 1980’s was a tiny surprise element. The actor’s efforts to smash up a few anti social problem makers in a riot, sets the character up for him. He plays the character of a leader of the Tamil people residing in the Dharavi area in Mumbai. His appearance dressed in a white kurtha, with a maroon shawl wrapped around him looked delicate and pleasing.

A few action sequences during his young times and his encounter with a few policemen, when he attempts to escape from them in his old age, brace the audacity in his character.

AMALA PAUL

The first impression Amala Paul gives is that of a typical cute, pretty heroine who is deliberately penned in the story, just to appear in romance sequences with the lead. However, a sudden twist in the tale brushes away the initial impression set on the character. Her actual character in the film is not ventured hitherto by the actress and was hence something unsullied.

Her dance sequence with Vijay, especially in the dance tournament is worth a watch and does have the drive to make a few feet tap under the seats.

G.V PRAKASH

When has this young man failed to impress? The songs were impressive and so was the back ground music. Although the BGM in the climax action sequence, brushed through the back ground music of a sequence in Thuppakki, it did create the intended stimulation.

He also surprised the audience with his unexpected appearance on screen in the Vaanganna Vanakkangana song.

SANTHANAM

Santhanam has got into a phase where the audience is always assured of a few laugh outs whenever he is around. Well, he has not failed to keep up the trust people have on him. His whimsical expressions in the sequences in Australia and his hilarious attempt to save Vijay from a girl who he suspects to be a police officer are pointers that justify the humour elements in the film.

NIRAV SHAH

The movie had the colour and tone that set up the mood that A.L. Vijay intended to convey. Nirav Shah helmed the camera very well, with apt frames and angles. The contrast between the romance scenes in Australia and the riot sequences in Mumbai were very clear and neatly captured.

If we overlook the facts that the movie had a very slow screenplay and that there were not many surprise elements in the script unlike Ilayathapathy Vijay’s previous films, the movie is a good one time watch, especially for his fans.

Shotcuts : Role of a liifetime

She falls in love with Vijay in director A. L. Vijay's just released Thalaivaa, though it’s one-sided. But for Mumbai-based actor Ragini Nandwani, it is a role of a lifetime. “I play a north Indian who doesn't know Tamil. When Vijay comes to Mumbai, circumstances bring us together and I fall head over heels in love with him. But, as we all know, his love interest in Thalaivaa is Amala Paul. For me, after the lukewarm response to my debut film Dehraadun Diary, this is a major breakthrough and although the release is delayed, I am already having over 14,000 followers on my FB page,” says Ragini whose entry into the film industry was through the Zee TV serial Mrs. Kaushik Ki Paanch Bahuein. “I have been getting some good Hindi and Tamil offers of late and will have to scrutinise them properly before signing on the dotted line.”

5. #Nanban [#Vijay - Dir.#Shankar - #HarrisJayaraj]

[ajaybaskar]

Let me start with the negatives first. Thalaivaa may not be as entertaining as a Thuppakki or Ghilli but it is better than Velayudham or any recent action movies. ALV has borrowed ideas from many gangster movies but while entering the hall, should we not be expecting it, having known his past record? And Thalaivaa, I guess, should be his most racy movie till date.

On the other negatives, the comedy track featuring that old cook was needless and highly irritating. Mistaking rasam as black coffee, upma as curd rice.. ALV, Pls grow up. When Santhanam is able to tickle with his one liners, why do you even want a separate track? Heroine's introduction showing her catching a butterfly..Shabbaa.. And while Vijay is looking best with his underplay, why that sudden 'நாங்க கோயில்லதானே இருக்கோம்.எங்களை காப்பாத்துன சாமி அவரு' dialogue? Also, the Mathunga riot slowed the pace a bit.

On the pluses, as always Vijay. At 39, he looks unbelievably young (except in one frame, I saw a grey hair). The story starts in 1988 and Vishwa is shown as 3,4 year old kid. So he should be around 24,25 now. But no one would question Vijay playing a 25 year old. And his expression while he kills a man for the first time, CLASS!

I was not at all ready to watch Amala Paul sharing the screen with Vijay. But I should admit that she was passable. But the other girl was prettier.

Supporting cast was good too. It may not have extracted the best out of Sathyaraj, but still the role looked good on him. Ponvannan, Santhanam, Suresh and even the sidekicks were good. Villain and his meditation was hilarious though. :)

GVP's bgm was surprisingly good. Songs sounded bad before watching the film. Now the status has gone to worse. However the editor did a good job by retaining only 4 songs.

There were many interesting sequences throughout the second half which enabled it to be better than the first half. The transformation, the aruvaal thatting scene, chasing Nandhu, climax, etc.

I was very satisfied at the end but I had a doubt if it was because of favouritism. Hence I checked with my wife, who is not a fan of anyone in particular, but enjoys good movies.. She said, it was an above average movie but a bit lengthy.

I still don't understand why these people claimed it to be Sura Part 2. :scratchinghead:

Great Review Ajay :)

On the 'Sura Part 2' comment, i see 2 reasons:
1. He/she hasn't watched Sura and only rejoiced when the movie was bashed/mocked by all and sundry
2. He/she hasn't watched Thalaivaa either and as always hopes the movie to be as bad or even-worse than Sura

+1 ...I understand if someone doesn't like the movie for whatever reason, but I didn't understand the rationale behind comparing it with Sura :idontgetit:.

The positive way to look at it is or a message to these select few is - If Vijay in his current form can make a Sura part 2 collect so much money, imagine the collections if he manages to churn out a Thuppakki part 2 :smokesmirk:

By the way, good review Ajay. I think one thing everyone seems to agree is that Vijay is getting younger and better each day.

Thalaiva darshan after long wait

Aboutrelease of Thalaiva in Tiruchi on Tuesday.

Jubilant Vijay fans celebrated Thalaiva with booming drum beats and dazzling fireworks in the city.

Paalabhishegams and breaking of coconuts heralded the film’s release. Life-size cut outs and huge posters of actor Vijay were seen at the theatres where the film opened to packed houses on Tuesday.

Crowds thronged the theatres to catch the much-awaited film ‘first-day first-show’. In some theatres, screening started as early as 8.a.m. The film released in five theatres in the city – Sona, Meena, Ramba, Cauvery, and Vijay Cinemas.

Apart from the Gilli star, Amala Paul, Sathyaraj and Santhanam form the star cast of the movie written and directed by A.L.Vijay. G.V. Prakash has composed the music and cinematography is by Nirav Shah. The film was originally scheduled to hit screens worldwide on August 9, but was postponed in Tamil Nadu in the wake of bomb threats.

Die-hard fans, who could not wait to watch the film, headed to the neighbouring States of Karnataka and Kerala where the film released on August 9. “There is nothing like watching thalaivar’s film in the home turf with fanfare and fellow fans around ,” said Ramesh, who had travelled all the way to Bangalore to watch the film.

“Thalaiva is Vijay’s first release this year . Like his last movie Thupakki, this film too will be a huge box-office success,” said R.K.Raja, Tiruchi district president, Vijay Makkal Iyakkam. “Vijay’s performance is great. Scenes involving him and Santhanam are hilarious,” he added.

Pudukottai: A procession of fans proceeded from the old bus stand to Shanti theatre amidst drumbeats and fanfare to celebrate the release of Thalaiva in the district on Tuesday.

They performed paalabhishegam, manjal abhishegam, and paneer abhishegam to the banners and posters of the actor at the theatre and sacrificed a goat praying for the good run of the film. Kadiresan, district president of Vijay fans association, tonsured his head to celebrate the occasion.

Thalaivaa - Leading, Like Everytime!
=======================
Thalaivaa - The most awaited film of the year for Vijay fans. The film features Vijay and Amala Paul in the lead roles, Abhimanyu Singh as the main antagonist, and Sathyaraj, Santhanam, Ponvannan and Ragini Nandwani in supporting roles. The film, produced by Chandra Prakash Jain of Shri Mishri Productions, features background score and soundtrack composed by G. V. Prakash Kumar with cinematography by Nirav Shah. The film has released in Tamil Nadu on August 20th after a lot of political games and hurdles, after garnering positive reviews from all other locations where it was released. The film's release was a thriller matching the actual film itself, and has become "the story of a hit film which turns into a blockbuster". Let’s look at things that makes this film special and exciting.

Title to end credits enjoyable
The film takes off slowly, picks up and maintains a steady pace throughout that even though can’t be termed as racy, keeps you glued throughout. Not only the narration
is neat but also the right mix of all commercial elements in a good package is what makes the film entertaining. You cannot think of any scene or song that is unwanted, because everything moves the story forward in one way or the other. The love encounters between Vijay and Amala Paul in first half are a treat while the Quid pro quo sequences between Vijay and the Villain in second half are thrilling. The twists before the interval and climax make a big impact at the right time. A.L.Vijay has done his homework to near perfection this time, and even though it is a different genre from his usual films, he has maintained the essentials along with his own treatment in the right balance.

Heartening moments aplenty
There are lot of high points in the film, which gives you lot of happiness and warms up your heart. First being Vijay's dance in Thamizh Pasanga song. A western and ultra modern intro song of Vijay probably for the first time, it gives a royal feast for anyone who loves Vijay's dance. Not just this song, all songs in the film look fresh and offer a variety to the viewer. Yaar indha Saalai oram will be added to the list of best romantic duets of Vijay. Ecstasy of dance looks stunning onscreen with the visuals. Thalaivaa Thalaivaa song has been picturised with all grandeur required for a mass number. Vanganna Vanakanganna is the typical Vijay song we expect in a film. Guest appearances by G.V.Prakash, Radio Mirchi RJs and Dinesh master in the song are interesting to watch.

G.V.Prakash who gave a rocking album for the film, does a good job with background score too. Contrary to the opinion that his work was disappointing, I felt that he did full justice to the film and has set the tunes to go along with the mood of the scenes. His works in romantic and mass scenes is especially brilliant. There are many moments in the film where you would want to whistle and scream atleast in your heart. The short musical bit "Thaalaelo" played in moments between Vijay and Sathyaraj touches your heart.

There is not much of humour in the film than what is required, since anything over this would have diluted the seriousness of the narration. Santhanam tickles your funny bones in first half, but more than that, the slight thread of fun woven into Vijay-Amala Paul sequences in first half was more enjoyable. Comparatively, there are only a few fun sequences in second half, nevertheless, the story had a serious mood and lot of incidents to be told, so you won't feel like complaining as you are kept engaged without distractions.

Action sequences neatly done
More than the first half second half has lot of action sequences all of which are well done without much exaggerations and unwanted matrix style effects. The climax fight of course had to be over the top to some extent for giving the mass portion a fitting finale, so we cannot complain on that. That one, the fight when Vijay gets a hold of the sword for the first time and the riot sequences are very well choreographed. Same for the short fight outside convention centre with rival dance group in the first half. Stunt Silvaa, who also does a brief appearance, has kept up his name from Velayudham very well.

Lovely camera work throughout
If there is a second hero who comes all along the film more than Vijay, it is Nirav Shah. The ace lensman has put all his talents to best use in contrasting the cool and colourful Australia and the rusty and rugged Mumbai very well to suit the two different moods of the film and the characters. The various landmarks of Sydney like Opera house, Harbor bridge etc have been captured in excellent views in songs and scenes, especially the ones from Vijay's house in the film. Same way, the earthy flavour of Mumbai has also been brought out to suit the theme of the film. The view of Sea Link Bridge from the place where Vijay meets Sathyaraj and the angles used are worth a mention. The distinct camera tones used for the two cities, the night light scenes that come often in the second half, the tonal variation used for flashback scenes everything creates a visually long lasting effect on the viewer.

Amala Paul - great job in a good role
I am not a big fan of Amala Paul but in this movie, she actually gave one of her best performances in a well written role. The changeovers in her character with respect to tender and tough aspects have been brought well by the actress who also does a good job with dubbing in her own voice too. In a mass commercial film, a heroine does not get a better role than this that goes along with the story till the end. Her different makeovers in first and second halves of the film suit her well and she does look cute in songs and most scenes in the first half. And after a long time, she is one heroine who matches well with Vijay in dancing too. The ecstasy of dance shows her hard work in keeping up pace with Vijay in dancing. On the whole, a complete heroine after a long time for a Vijay film.

Individually great supporting cast and crew
One of the strong points of AL Vijay's films is that he extracts the best out of every character and even a special appearance will have an impacting presence in the film. Sathyaraj fits the role of Anna like a tee and portrays the role of a tough leader and emotional father brilliantly. The supporting cast of Ponvannan, Manobala, Suresh and others does their roles to perfection. Ragini Nandwani is a good find and has a short yet solid role in which she leaves a lasting impression. The two henchmen who stay with Vijay in most of the scenes (one among them is Rajeev Pillai) and the guy who plays Vijay's cousin are among others who play their part very well. Nasser and Rekha have very short yet important roles. Abhimanyu Singh plays the main villan against Sathyaraj and then his son Vijay, and has done his role to satisfaction.

AL Vijay definitely has made best use of his team in making this film a product that would earn respect in its every aspect. Art director R.K. Naguraj has done a neat job throughout the film, including the outstanding Dharawi like sets made for shooting. The one thing that could have been done better is the editing work by Antony, especially since the transitions between scenes in few places are not crisp and smooth, but rather saggy or abrupt like in a mega serial. The dialogues are well written and sharp, even the best things are told in short and sweet words, meaningfully.

Vijay's one of lifetime best performance
Vijay had done better roles and performances than this, but this is an assorted collection of all his best works. So it is special in that way as you see his best in everything from dance, romance, comedy timing, sentiments, looks, mass feeling, action - everything in the film to keep it short. I can vouch that as a fan, one can watch this film any number of times for Vijay because of the following reasons:

- Terrific dance movements in the opening song, infact you can't imagine he dances with the same ease as guys almost half his age in the group.
- Handsome looks both as a joyful youngster and determined leader, especially first half reminds so much of Sachein Vijay, his cutest avatar ever for me.
- Awesome expressions in romantic sequences of first half, sentiment and commanding scenes in the second half. The scene when Sathyaraj gets arrested in front of his eyes, he shows shock, anger, pain of betrayal, confusion - all at once. Similarly, the scene when Amala Paul expresses her love to him and the best of the lot "Acchaa, Kidhar?"
- Lovely comedy timing with Santhanam, Sam Anderson and the cook in Amala Paul's house.
- Amazing changeover of body language between Vishwa of first half and Vishwa Bhai of second half.
- Inspiring as in every film to his fans, the problems behind the release of the film will make you love him in this film even more.
- Vijay, the director has made best use of Vijay for his script rather than few directors of the past who depended on Vijay to save their script.
- Amount of struggles and pains faced by Vijay in releasing the film, even worse than Kavalan would make any fan support this film by watching it again and again, it is worth the time spent.

A film for every cinema lover
If you love good cinema, Thalaivaa is definitely a film for you. You forget Vijay's past mass masala films, you come out of Thuppakki hangover - you consider this as the real story that can any day happen in Mumbai even today, you will love the film. The film is not slow or lengthy as many people feel. We have been so much accustomed to the running and zooming cameras of Hari movies and the likes, we have forgotten the means of fast narration. The transformation of an ordinary modern guy who has no damn idea of what his father was doing and how serious were the problems he was fighting against, to a leader who takes up all those on his shoulders and more, cannot be told just like that with a song or few sharp scenes. It is a metamorphosis and has to be shown in its completeness to look authentic. And AL Vijay does in his best possible ways. He is not AR Murugadoss or Shankar to give a film that will better Thuppakki. But, he deserves a pat on his back for giving the perfect follow-up film after Thuppakki.

A final word for haters and evil forces against the film
The film has politically inclined dialogues alright, but no other actor would have faced so much troubles and struggles if he had acted in the film instead of Vijay. You can remove the captions, cut the dialogues or even claim all nonsense reasons for denying tax exemption. At the end of the day, if only these make you triumphant against Vijay, then your insecurity is at heights. You can delay and postpone Vijay's success, but no amount of your influence or power can stop it. I pray that let this be the last time a film and people associated with it suffer in the hands of politicians.

The delay against the film made Vijay haters rejoice and celebrate that doomsday has arrived for Vijay. You, who make your day by writing crap about an actor, who watch films in downloaded prints and pirated dvds and write reviews, who watch a film only to spit your hatred against an actor, who feel happiness in others' troubles and tears, who cannot understand the lifelong brotherhood Vijay has with his fans - if you are still alive in this world and active, a person like Vijay who makes millions happy with his single smile will never have a doomsday. Your opinion and reviews about this film are as unimportant as you in this world - In Vishwa Bhai's style "GET OUT!"

Watched it last night.

Well I'm gonna write honest review and it is up to you how you take it.[coz as per my observation ppl here are very reactive]

Positives
- Vijay
- Cinematography
- Sathyaraj

Negatives
- Rest all

I felt movie is painfully long[realized movie is running close to 3 hours] mainly because there is no tight screenplay...after 1st twist i though movie may pick-up pace but again it slowed.I felt first half could have trimmed.

Expected a good sequence during transformation but again disappointed but should say vijay is showing some serious acting skills there....

Songs except of "Vanganna" all of them is amateurish.
Overall still cannot say movie is bad/worse but defntly not Good.

Verdict: Vijay Fans will enjoy

Thalaiva darshan after long wait

“Thalaiva is Vijay’s first release this year . Like his last movie Thupakki, this film too will be a huge box-office success,” said R.K.Raja, Tiruchi district president, Vijay Makkal Iyakkam. “Vijay’s performance is great. Scenes involving him and Santhanam are hilarious,” he added.

Vanganna was one song I didnt like in the initial hearings especially because I thought it was overpromoted (by GVP in his twitter.......), tune was not great, somehow strangely I was getting reminded of Kaasethan kadavulada song even though i dont get any link...... but on subsequent hearings started liking the song very much certainly not because of the tune, but the way Vijay sings it..... the peppiness, the nakkals, naiyyandis etc., one can easily get into the mood of the song...... VJ has delivered whatever is required out of this song without any additional gimmicks........expectations now increased on this song, not sure how it had been picturized on screen... may be even will get disappointed given the way this song has caught my imagination :)

The Ad says moving to 25 days... though 10 more days left.. its common in kerala for movies including malayalam to put posters like this.. in TN you have movie ads daily in newspapers.. but in kerala a movie ad comes on paper on release day only and next when it crosses 25 or 50 days.. or may be never after that..so you can see these kind of posters in street..

The prayers has been heard. appr 153 minutes now I guess. Perfect amount of time to lead Thalaiva...

When are directors gonna learn, 3 hours is too much, more than 2 n half hours is too much. Try to keep the movie under 2 n half hours.
these days people get bored easily. General Audience may like a movie but if its too long their opinion on the movie changes.

[ilayapuyalvinodh_kumar]

Amala Paul : Vijay was very encouraging while dancing and I have to confess that it was extremely taxing for me. I even sprained my back but we were able to give the best results. Vijay’s dancing is infectious, as he can be so motivating.

Thalaivaa has received excellent response despite the fact it was delayed 11 days in Tamil Nadu. The movies duration was 2 hours 56 minutes and it was considered to be lengthier and draggy. Now the makers has decided to trim the film by 20 minutes and there will be a fight included in the film which was not included previously :smokesmirk: as it will be more lengthier. This trimmed version will be screened from August 23rd all over Tamil Nadu.

Thalaivaa first two days opening collection report in Tamil Nadu


With Thalaivaa into the 4th day of its run in the state, we decided to find out the response to the movie across TN, over the first 2 days. The producers of the movie, Sri Mishri Production, are happy with the response and though they admit that some of the smaller centres have experienced a dip in collections, the bigger theatres are still running close to full. On an average, they are expecting occupancies around the 90% mark till the end of the weekend in Chennai City.

Chennai : In Chennai City, we observed that the bigger theatres such as Sathyam are reporting good occupancies while occupancies at some of the other multiplexes have dipped after the first day, as it’s the middle of the week. Some of the multiplex proprietors in the City believe that despite the release of Desingu Raja on Friday, Thalaivaa is expected to report good figures this weekend. The gross collections in the first two days in Chennai are estimated to be around 1.68 crores.

Coimbatore : The distributor for the Coimbatore, Tirupur, Nilgiri and Erode districts, Mr. Velmurugan of Vel Films said “I released the movie in 75 screens in these 4 districts and the response over the first 2 days has been impressive and the 2 days gross has crossed 90 lakhs” When we contacted our correspondent in Coimbatore he said “The 10 days’ delay in the release and the burgeoning number of pirated copies have affected the collections. Also, the fact that the film was released bang in the middle of a working week has also not helped. But, exhibitors are optimistic about good weekend collections. Also since Kerala is closer to Coimbatore, hardcore Vijay fans have already seen the movie by crossing the border”

Trichy: In Trichy district, Thalaivaa has been released in 34 screens by G Films’ Shiva, and the first 2 days gross is close to 80 lakhs.

Salem: In Salem district, from 56 screens, Thalaivaa has grossed around 70 lakhs. Salem’s Vijay Rasigar Mandram Head, Thamizhan Parthiban has released the movie in this district. In both the above mentioned districts, the 1st day was full, followed by a lull on the 2nd day. Both the distributors are expecting a promising weekend.

Kanchipuram : In Kanchipuram, Thalaivaa has been released in 4 screens – Aruna, Babu, Karthikeyan and Balaji, and the collection after the first 2 days is close to 5 lakhs. Trade pundits feel that the response here has been average with occupancies around the 50% mark. The official numbers of Thalaivaa’s box-office gross are expected to be out in a couple of days and we will keep you posted.

Yaar Intha Saalai Oram - Beautiful melody and lovely picturization. Melody songs always look tailor-made for Vijay and happy that all his recent movies had good ones.

Also Santhanam's oneliners in the song were so funny:

vijay in thala thalaivaa thalaivi syndrmome

posted by sidharth gautham sunder on august 10, 2013

in tamil nadu, people have a habit of chasing a mirage. They are always charged with maya without knowing any philosophy.

A competition among screen actors and politicians is the most interesting time pass for tamils. Is that time pass or life pass? They waste their time ignoring fruitful efforts and fail in their lives later.

They themselves pit one personality or celebrity against another and encourage a discussion as if they are watching a horse race.

Mgr vs sivaji, karunanidhi vs mgr, kamal hassan vs rajinikanth, karunanidhi vs jayalalithaa, rajinikanth vs jayalalithaa, ajith vs vijay… now, it is the turn of jayalalithaa vs vijay.

Is it a drama or a publicity stunt? It is reported that many stunt scenes have been cut in thalaivaa to get a’u’ certificate.

Vijay and his father promoted themselves by involving in the last election campaign. The political ambitions of any actor would be watched by all the politicians in tamil nadu. The actors in tamil nadu influence the immature voters. Therefore, actor vijay cannot hide his real intention of promoting himself as a leader.

Earlier, the media promoted actor vijayakanth to form a political party with one intention of dividing tamil electorate with linguistic minority affiliation. Ultimately that created a dent in the vote bank of aiadmk which party boasts of film watchers largely. This was tackled tactically by aiadmk supremo by forging a calculated alliance. After such use, vijayakanth of dmdk was thrown like curry leaf.

Now, evolution of another actor vijay as a political leader shall be watched carefully. The established political parties shall ensure that vijay should not get any popular following among electorates.

It is said that many punch dialogues in thalaivaa are in favour of promoting vijay and critical on the policies of the government. This is enough for any ruling party to impose some indirect restrictions on the growth of a young leader.

Grooming young leaders is not a habit of political parties in tamil nadu. The tall leaders in tn fear that growth of intellectuals or talented leaders within the party shall be challenging to their power. The senior leaders wish they should be leaders lifelong. This results in ignorance of new ideas from young minds. This itself is a stumbling block in the growth of the country.

No wonder vijay is getting this kind of treatment. Previously, vijay was pitted against mk stalin of dmk in a row of petty pet names.

if vijay really wishes to be a leader, he should oppose the establishment on the ground, and not in the screen. If he means business in film industry, he should shun his political ambitions. Vijay is not like rajinikanth. The times are changing.

Let vijay launch his own political party and contest in the elections instead of calling himself thalaivaa in a film title. Let him declare his policies in media. Instead if he waits for retirement at that time there will be many more youth leaders to challenge him.

thala vaa thala vaa :-)

[Russellfws]

Good article, SOME of the so called other fans are two much eager on promoting a negative shade forVijay.. as these people very well know their star is not even worth to be called as Thala, thailava.. or thaliveer or whatever for obvious reasons.

Let me get a point clear, Why vijay can not come into politics? every single ravi, kumar, kanthan can come in but not vijay?
Political ambition is not a criminal thing.

But this was not posted here for political reason but obvious for degrade a star.

1) Did we ever call our self as Superstar or challenged so? Your star did and merely the movie which followed was a "mama trouser kalandudu" stuff
2) Being a person who doesnt have a real face... stagela vera maathiri pesuvam.. next day kaalila vilunthu mannippu kedpam.. Veeram ya veeram
3) Spontaneous bike ride seivaar.. yaaruukum theriyaamal.. but vitham vithama HD stills release akum.. off screen nadippu :rotfl: ithuvum oru vaikai arasiyal and you complain about vijay's publicity stunt.
4) Rendu varushathukku muthal thaniya odi jeiyudddu.. Oscar award vaankinappula intha padaththukku vimarasanam pannuraanga.. hence proved.. no vekkam maanam soodu soranai :lol2:
5) Vijay can come into politics or not. if you dnt like his movie you can simply avoid it... and keep on watching ur favourites stars acting or walking or whatever.

I advise rather than just crying over here write a letter to ur favourite to at least act a movie.. that family can watch :lol2: :wave:

[Russellfws]

And another "Imaginary" write up I came across.. :lol2:

Lets consider some imaginary scenarios. Am just curious on how those brains would write up further, had VJ involved in those.


1.

Challenging Superstar openly that he will uproot his throne and it is not the former's vested proprietary property
For VJ: What an arrogance..? A small lad confronting a legend. Clearly shows his frustration and immature nature. Should teach him a lesson
For the rest: Have to appreciate his guts. Clearly shows his self-confidence. Bravo...! Should support him


2.

After entertaining(?) the audience with 7 or 8 world-class, golden globe, grammy award'ish movies in row, a "feat" that nobody had ever achieved, and thence concluding his capability(?), approach the very man whom he challenged in (1), take the biggest U-turn in the world by announcing yourself as his fan all of a sudden and request his movie to be remade, seek his blessings blah, blah...

For VJ: Look..finally he had fallen and now begging for alms. He deserves this and shouldn't be entertained at any cost
For the rest: Looks like he is really in trouble. One who seek forgiveness is greater than God. Pity for him. Wish him the very best...


3.

Day 1: Speaking amidst the crowd that he is being threatened and forced by political parties, to participate in gatherings that bear some political shades. Day 2: Meeting the grand old veteran of the concerned party, get his blessings. Yet quote it as "it was a casual call" to the press. Day 3: Sign for a movie under the banner of the very own party

For VJ: Perfect chameleon...Looks like he has severely been awarded the "bounty" for his speech. What happened to him within the 4 walls should be self explanatory.
For the rest: Business and inter-personal relationship are different. Good that he is maintaining this.


4.

Give no care or attention to the co-stars when they are in their physical body but never fail to show up after they breathe their last. May be we can consider Late Mr. Manivannan as an example here

For VJ: This guy had not given a nuts or a damn care when he was alive. What is the use of his mourning or his final respect for the dead body which doesn't have any senses? He could've very well offered his prayers sitting at home. Why he wants to come out now and have this to be publicized? Seeking sympathy in a funeral is the cheapest thing one can do.
For the rest: I am completely bowing down to this man. He won't be spotted up in functions. parties. He respects human lives. Proud to be his fan and he is my role model

5.

Offer interviews once in a light year. Speak like "I was cornered. i was helpess. I've come up on my own. I don't have a father to back me. Many have backstabbed me. I've learnt many lessons". In short a Vivekananda/Buddha philosophy

For VJ: Looks like he is personally targeting actor *****. Well...not all people who had their father backing up, shines. Its a proven concept that his father had written nothing good for him except bad name, That actor was politically tortured, threatened and it went to the extent of blocking his movies. But never in his lifetime he had stated these in interviews and demanded sympathy. Nalla nadikkiraan...

For the rest: Gosh... i could feel his pain. How many of us have had this? He will surely be rewarded for the pains he had underwent. Good that he is openly stating these.


6.

Join a protest organized by TFI for some noble cause by wearing a caliper leg brace (for the cramps developed) in a highly noticeable manner, while during the shoot carefully hide it underneath a dense full trousers.

For VJ: He could've very well stated that he is unwell and voice support from his home. What is the need to advertise this setup? He is trying to show off. Cashing in publicity during the protest for a noble cause is the cheapest on earth. Why the hell he was hiding this during the shoot...? It is a black day in Tamil cinema.

For the rest: Extending support despite his injury. Maannnnn... you see..you see...! He is simply the best creation on earth, Mars, neptune etc

Watched again @ Fame Cinemas, Virugambakkam, 11:20 a.m. show with wifey. A die-hard Singam fan, she was quite happy with the movie.

It was a houseful show with lots of family audiences and most of them seemed to enjoy the proceedings.

So happy to see the movie run to houseful shows and when i walked out, i saw the 'sold-out' board for the rest of the shows for the day.

These two days are crucial for the movie and after watching today's response, i am sure Vijay's family audiences are loving the movie.

Despite a 11-day delay and the threat from piracy, Thalaivaa is holding up and fighting.

I saw the film again today and did not find any scenes to be trimmed .....the 20 mins trimming news was only a rumour?

Had the same feeling largely, but a couple of tiny scenes were cut i think, like for instance the scene where Raagini serves food to Vijay. I could only spot one. Overall, the movie ran for around 2:45 mins outside the ads and stuff.

[kubrick]

Just got back from Thalaivaa and it ran for 3 Hours and 5 minutes as the censor certificate states.

I dint find anything new in this film. A very old theme with scenes and situations which we have been used to for at least 3 decades now. I find it really frustrating to see directors waste talents and especially the Mass gained by actors such as Vijay and Ajith to make their films blockbusters.

I, personally, don't care about copying/plagiarizing when I enter films like Thalaivaa but mindless film making should not be tolerated.

That subtle Gangs of Wasseypur homage was an extreme facepalm moment.

[ilayapuyalvinodh_kumar]

Sudish Kamath - Thalaivaa: Influenced, inspired or derived, no denying that Nirav does for Vijay what he did for Ajith in Billa! Such a good looking film.

From what I've seen so far, fans of this actor unlike fans of other actors (surya/ajith/...) very rarely provide constructive critical reviews. They pretty much endorse and lap up anything the actor provides giving him very little incentive to improvise in either extending range of emotions or picking original story lines or even evolving his own style during remakes.

bill4u,

Vijay was ripped apart for giving movies like Sura or Villu. And the BO outcome of those movies are a clear indicator of the fact that even hardcore Vijay fans brushed aside those movies. If Vijay fans lap up a movie, then most likely the movie would break even. Eg:Vettaikkaran. Not many neutral audience liked the movie. But still the movie was more profitable than either one of Ayan/Singam which was disclosed by the man who distributed both the movies,Hansraj Saxena.

And for fans falling prey to favoritism, I would request you to check threads of last movies of the actors you mentioned, before coming to a conclusion.

From what I've seen so far, fans of this actor unlike fans of other actors (surya/ajith/...) very rarely provide constructive critical reviews. They pretty much endorse and lap up anything the actor provides giving him very little incentive to improvise in either extending range of emotions or picking original story lines or even evolving his own style during remakes.

I never found a constructive review from any of the ajith fan for Billa 2, which was most ridiculous screenplay ever, which had a good story-line!!!

Please don put makeup on you as though you guys are the most best person to accept the fact ur star has given crap movie. See Thalaiva is not the end, lots of movies are lined up for all the stars, Let me see how many genius like u are giving positive critic for any movie.. I will come to ur threads and will ask quoting you for a gentleman review. Bye until then now..

For those who asks us on #Thalaivaa collections.

Ilayathalapathy Vijay's Thalaivaa records one of the best opening collections in recent times. Even though movie opened on an ordinary weekday(Tuesday), this first 6 days gross in Chennai and across TN are impressive :2thumbsup:

bill4u,

Vijay was ripped apart for giving movies like Sura or Villu. And the BO outcome of those movies are a clear indicator of the fact that even hardcore Vijay fans brushed aside those movies. If Vijay fans lap up a movie, then most likely the movie would break even. Eg:Vettaikkaran. Not many neutral audience liked the movie. But still the movie was more profitable than either one of Ayan/Singam which was disclosed by the man who distributed both the movies,Hansraj Saxena.

And for fans falling prey to favoritism, I would request you to check threads of last movies of the actors you mentioned, before coming to a conclusion.

Ajaybaskar,

Your points .. just got a feeling that there weren't much critical reviews (in this thread) for this mediocre movie.

Vijay being one of the leading actors has enough say to influence the storyline in Thalaiva - Godfather concept has been beaten to death in last 3 decades. If he really wanted to make one, he should have atleast made sure it didn't resemble any of the existing ones and had something fresh. You probably know what I'm talking about. The fact that he didn't do it contributed to mixed reviews all over.

Neenga romba unarchivasa padaraenga ... No makeups! You're coming to a quick conclusion about my preferences. For your information, I'm not a fan of any of the 3 actors in question. Critical reviews from fans will only help actor reach his maximum potential.

After reading poor reviews of Billa2, I haven't even watched the movie. I may soon. But I will call a spade a spade and dud a dud regardless of who's there in the movie. Just in case, I did post a review of Singam 2 in that thread ....

They pretty much endorse and lap up anything the actor provides giving him very little incentive to improvise in either extending range of emotions or picking original story lines or even evolving his own style during remakes.

Surya is still evolving into a mass hero and comparing fan fanaticism of the other 2 with his is a little far-fetched, to begin with, IMHO.

The other 2 in question here, both have their share of fanatics who celebrate their star, no matter what he delivers on screen. Calling one group 'less-intense' than the other is all but down to individual perception, IMHO.

Movies such as Kavalan, Nanban or Thuppakki wouldn't have happened, (as Ajay had said) if Vijay was not taken to the cleaners during his 'Villu-Sura' days. Fans, who were worried about their star's future raised their arms/voice against his choice of movies and there you go, you see a marked improvement in his selection of script/directors' now.

Kavalan though a remake, had signature Vijay all over it. He did manage to evolve his own style there. Nanban, despite an Amir Khan special, the Tamil version saw Vijay holding his own. Thuppakki was an original script that reached far, deep and high. Though, these 3 cannot be termed the 'perfect' or the 'best', still multi-fold times better than what Vijay churned in during his 'Villu-Sura' days.


Vijay being one of the leading actors has enough say to influence the storyline in Thalaiva - Godfather concept has been beaten to death in last 3 decades.

The fact that he didn't do it contributed to mixed reviews all over.

As so has, a Gangster or a police concept too, but still people try to offer something fresh or something new every time, as you have written above. Sometimes it works, sometimes not. Thalaivaa's jury is not completely out as, yet (though mixed responses) and we will have to wait just a little longer to see the outcome.

Inspite of the delay Thalaivaa got a good opening its first week. Thanks to the humongous support from Vijay fans, though the first day collection was terrific the second and third day shows a drop as the film released in the middle of the week. The weekend reports are good and reports say the film grossed around 21 crores( approx) in Tamil Nadu box office till Sunday. Though it is lesser than a normal Vijay film's collection in recent times the trade is happy with the performance as the piracy is already flooded in the market. The second week Box Office report will say the clear picture on Thalaivaa's box office status that whether it will be a break even for producers or not.

Positives : Vijay,cinematography,Santhanam,Sathyaraj,Amala Paul & first half.

Negatives : Second half, BGM, lack of freshness in the script.

Trade Reports:

A Center : Very Good Opening

Dhayanidhi Alagiri (via twitter) : Just spoke to Ilayathalapathy Vijay ! Wished him for Thalaivaa.. Such a warm hearted person, shared a few thoughts with him... Thala Ajith and Ilayathalapathy Vijay have been tasting success for years now.. I've watched them closely.. So nice to know they are still sweet and humble, and most importantly not carried away because of their success, unlike a lot of other artists. I just wish both of em stay WINNERS thro out their careers !!!

I don't think 13,15 crores will be possible for a movie with delayed release. Vijay fans have ensured that the film has got a great opening inspite of all troubles. Real test starts this week. Higher numbers will be possible only with sustaining and it solely depends on family and repeat audience. Thuppakki got it because of unanimous positive WOM all over and with very low impact of piracy. I guess Thalaivaa will end up somewhere between 7-8 crores in the CBO.

Singam is a Super Hit and it had lot's going for it right from the beginning. Thalaivaa has done remarkably well overseas and in other states such as Kerala. Due to delayed release and rampant piracy, the movie was starring at a disaster in TN. Thanks to Vijay's massive fan following, the movie has had a credible start here. I think we should be realistic going into weeks 2 and 3 in TN.

எறும்பு மோதி யானை விழுந்திடுச்சாம் - நல்லா சொல்றாய்ங்க டீட்டெயிலு

தலைவா படத்தை தயாரித்து லம்பாக லாபம் பார்க்கலாம் என்று நினைத்தார் சந்திர பிரகாஷ் ஜெயின். விஜய் போன்ற நடிகரை வைத்து பிரமாண்டமாக படம் எடுத்து லாபத்தை தவிர வேறு என்ன எதிர்பார்ப்பார்கள்? ஆனால் நடந்ததோ வேறு. படத்தை ரிலீஸே செய்ய முடியாமல் அல்லாடி, யு சான்றிதழ் பெற்றும் வாpச்சலுகை கிடைக்காமல், கண்ணீர்விட்டு மீடியாமுன் கதறி, அதற்கும் பலனில்லாமல் மருத்துவமனையில் நெஞ்சுவலிக்கு சிகிச்சை எடுத்து.... ஆ, அதுவொரு மாபெரும் துன்பியல் நிகழ்வு.

பட்டு வேஷ்டிக்கு கனவு கண்டிருந்த பொழுது கட்டிய கோவணத்தையும் உருவியெடுத்த சோகத்தில் இருக்கையில், இயக்குனர் ரமேஷ் செல்வன் சந்திர பிரகாஷை தேடிப் போயிருக்கிறார்.

ரமேஷ் செல்வன் உளவுத்துறை, ஜனனம் போன்ற படங்களை இயக்கியவர். கலவரம் என்ற படத்தை தற்போது சத்யராஜை வைத்து இயக்கியிருக்கிறார். தயாரிப்பு அவரது நண்பர் ரவிச்சந்திரன். கலவரம் படத்தின் விளம்பரங்களைப் பார்த்து கலவரமான சந்திர பிரகாஷ் ஜெயின், அச்சச்சோ... உங்க கலவரம் வெளியானால் எங்க தலைவாவுக்கு தியேட்டர் கிடைக்காது, அதனால தலைவாவை ரிலீஸ் பண்ணுனப்புறம் கலவரத்தை ரிலீஸ் பண்ணிக்கோங்க. ஏன்.. நீங்க ரிலீஸ் பண்ணும் 2.25 கோடி தந்து நானே படத்தை வாங்கிக்கிறேன் என்றாராம்.

என்னது... கலவரம்னு ஒரு படமா?

அதனால் தலைவாவுக்கு தியேட்டர் கிடைக்காதா? வாசகர்கள் மிரள்வது தெரிகிறது. ஆனால் கமிஷனர் அலுவலகத்தில் ரமேஷ் செல்வன் கொடுத்த புகாரில் அப்படிதான் குறிப்பிடப்பட்டிருக்கிறது.

சரி, தலைவா வெளியாகிவிட்டது, 2.25 கோடியை வாங்கிக்கலாம் என்று ஆவலோடும், ஆவணங்களோடும் சந்திர பிரகாஷ் ஜெயினை பார்க்க ரமேஷ் செல்வனும், ரவிச்சந்திரனும் சென்றிருக்கிறார்கள். அவர்களை பார்க்க அவர் மறுத்ததோடு, தரம்தாழ்த்தி திட்டி, கொலை செய்து விடுவேன் என்று மிரட்டியிருக்கிறார் (ஏம்பா, சந்திக்க மறுத்தவர் எப்படிப்பா திட்டியிருக்க முடியும், அப்படியே திட்டியிருந்தாலும் இவர்களுக்கு எப்படி தெரியும்? ஒருவேளை மறைந்திருந்து வாய்ஸை மட்டும் வெளியே அனுப்பியிருப்பாரோ?)

தற்போதைய பிரச்சனை, படத்தை வெளியிட முடியாததால் இருவருக்கும் (ரமேஷ் செல்வன், ரவிச்சந்திரன்) பெரிய அளவில் நஷ்டம் ஏற்பட்டிருக்கிறது.

இரண்டு பேருக்கும் தற்கொலை செய்து கொள்வதைத் தவிர வேறு வழியில்லை. சம்பந்தப்பட்ட சந்திர பிரகாஷ் ஜெயின் மீது நடவடிக்கை எடுக்க வேண்டும். போலீசார் அவர்களுக்கு பாதுகாப்பு தர வேண்டும் (தற்கொலை பண்ணிக்காமலிருக்கவா?).

நிறைய லாஜிக் மிஸ்டேக்குடன் கொடுக்கப்பட்டிருக்கும் இந்த புகார் மனுமீது என்ன நடவடிக்கை எடுக்கப்படும் என்பது நாளை தெரியும்.
