First When I saw the Movie Kaviya Thalaivan Trailer, I developed lot of expectation over the Movie. First of All it was a period film and that too about Dramas, second trust on Vasantha Balan- after Angadi Theru, AR Rehaman, Neerav Sha, and Prithivi.
After watching that movie, What I understood was,Vasantha Balan gave his Hard work and creativity in The Trailer Cut, but for the Movie , He was Lousy and Lazy on all the aspects.
If you expect as part of this blog I am going to tell the Story, Sorry that’s where the Problem is, This movie do not have a perfect Story Line, Okay A plot Line. It starts somewhere, Goes around on someone, suddenly the Director Realized he went to end the Movie and he finished it- Stress- “Finished the Movie”.
When The Movie Starts The Plot focusses on Drama Troop, Later when Prthivi jealous about his Drama Troop Co Artist Siddharth,The Plot shifts to Prthivi and Siddharth, when Suddenly Sidhrath Disappeared and they got a beautiful Plot of Tamil Dram Industry Growth, Hang, Now Vasantha balan not satisfied, He brings in Siddharth, Now Again Prthivi Vs Siddharth. Wait.. Wait….The Director want to talk about Drama’s Role in Freedom Fight, Again The Raise of Siddharth again Prithivi Comes in.. We got confused and Bored even the Director too, and He finishes the Movie as same as the Serials Finishes when it lost its TRP Rating. Suddenly Siddarth Dies, Prthivi realizes his mistake. All happen in 5 minutes as the Climax.
Vasantha Balan Don’t had Grip on his Script. No Plot, No Line Up. It seems He Confused on what he wants to Tell. To say This Film had lot of chances and missed extraordinary Movie Script(s) from the Concepts.As I saw I will list out the Opportunities,
1. Concept about Drama Troops:
A Movie about Tamil Dram Troops is a colorful Idea, Because Most of the Artists who were Trade mark of Tamil Film Industry were from Drama Troops. The Earlier Tamil Cinema’s too from Dramas Only. The Drama Troop Life itself tells thousand stories. Veteran Actors like MGR, NSK, MR Radha, Shivaji Ganesan, Karunanithi, Anna were all had a Drama Carrier. If the Movie Planned around the Dram Troop, it had various Tales.Vasanata Balana Missed it,or omitted it. The Scenes which Vasantha Balan has for a Drama Troop are effortless, horrible, and Unnatural.
2. Artist Conflict
When the Movie Shifts from the Troop to the Conflict of Prthivi and Siddhrath the Artists in the Troop, Where Prthivi is eagerly waiting for Rajpart Roll and Sidhrath gets it with his Innovativeness. New Script born there. But Vasanath Balan missed it or again In Confusion, He did not Took it up. The Psychological feelings over Prthivi’s Defeat itself a good Script. Okay Leave It.
3. The Raise of Tamil Drama n Overseas.
The Film now moves to another Area or historical Space. Prithivi take his Dram Troop to Overseas. A Tamil Drama Troop Raise in Overseas, with those different Audiences in worldwide without the Communication development of Cellphone and Web is an extraordinary Script to Present, Periodic, Overseas, Development and Fall of that Drama Industry.VB again Missed it
4. The Triangular Love Story
This Film talks about three peoples Love story, eventually all the Love stories has a painful and Failure end. Which is a good Concept thank god it exist in the movie, But due to Vasanatha Balan’s Confusion in Handling the Scripts kills this beautiful Love Parts.
5. Swadesi Movement and Drama
Later part of the Film talks about Swadesi Movement and the Drama’s roll. Okay Leave it, Vasanatha Balan missed that Line Too. Very Worst Dialogs. Worst Internal Drama Scrpits. Historically, Tamil Drama played a vital Role in Swadesi Movement. The Idea of Making it has a Film is good concept but Vasanatha Balan Research on that Field was lagging behind. Jeyamohan as a Dialog Writer stabbed Vasantha Balan. Both Failed to Create an Epic Movie though they had Epic Concept.
I think That AR Rahman was enthusiastic About the Idea, He gave extraordinary Songs. But When He saw the Movie He got upset It seems, He too Gave a Worthless Re-recording, Which Do not have any sense of Period and idea about Drama. No any sounds of Drama Music Instruments Sounds Heard through out the Movie.
Neerav Sha and Prithivi did their work better, Though Siddharth Puts his effort, He is not fitting for the Role, His Face, Body gives a look of 2000’s Chocolate boy look. Not a 30’s Drama Actor look. Sorry Siddarth it’s not your mistake.
Vasantha Balan Totally Wasted the Actors Nassar, Thambi Ramayya, Ponvannan, to say even Prthivi.
Drama had a vital role and Impact of Tamil Peoples and its Arts and Culture; It’s not about only Swadesi Movement the Drama Continued the Role in Dravidar Movement. The Fought of MR Radha in Presenting the Progressive thoughts in his Dramas Attracted the Attention of Both Progressive Peoples and Anti social Elements and the Mess created by those anti socials, the Way Mr Radha Tackled it, everything is a good Script to present to the Audiences in the Sense.
Totally VASANTHA BALAN Missed it. To say He Raped it too..
