Relevant Conflict with Minimal Emotions and More Entertainment!
A film with equal hits and misses, the starting point of the conflicts are worthy but the development is insufficient. The comedies work big time and keep us entertained while the emotions land flat due to the rushed storytelling.(more)

Family Trauma Finds Laughs & Frustrations In This Loud Drama
The film�s world is densely populated � every passerby, every side character has a role to play. And the one to receive the most love would be the �parottas� � yes, this film is a foodie heaven. If early love dates of Aagasam and Perarasi started with different varieties of parottas, every fight scene has a parallel sequence of them together, making fiery �kothu parotta�, exchanging sharp glances, and when in distress, Aagasam often turns to parotta therapy (we feel you, Aagasam!). Amidst all the noise and gags, though, Thalaivan Thalaivi finds moments of quiet, moving emotions. In one scene, Aagasam, tired of all the fights, breaks down in front of his father. In another, a mother posts a WhatsApp status of her child, hoping her estranged husband sees it.(more)

A Quirky Family Drama That Works in Bits
Thalaivan Thalaivii is a rugged family drama that works in moments, mainly due to the strong performances of Vijay Sethupathi and Nithya Menen. However, the film is brought down by a weak, repetitive script and loud, tiring narrative choices. It offers glimpses of honesty and humour, but not enough to make it a consistently engaging watch. You may give it a shot if you enjoy family dramas, but keep expectations low.(more)
