Kalaga Thalaivan (2022) User Reviews

Don't miss this gem!

[PavanKV · 8/10 · 17 December 2022]

Kalaga Thaliavan- Brillant script, edgy and racy screenplay with a realistic take calls for a worthy watch.

The real hero is the director who has shown the whistle blower concept and the backdrop story with so much power, and connects the jigsaw puzzle amazingly well.

Udhayanidhi Stalin's role is unique and shows complete class. The real villainous hero Arav carries tremendous weight as he plays pivotal role with ruthless attitude. Much needed area around whistle blowers.

Bruce Lee's mention is icing on the cake for sure.

Don't miss this gem as the director has taken this in a more believable way.

KUDOS...! To producer for giving complete freedom to director...

[PANDIAN120621 · 7/10 · 17 December 2022]

Though Stalin does a mediocre performance ,he needs to be appreciated for his passion for delivering a perfect commercial film... Magizh thirumeni hits the bull's eye with a unique narration and intelligent racy screenplay sprinkled all over the film...with a given times space he does a smart act of delivering a detailing study of corporates dark secrets,a whistle blowers life with intresting rom com elements keeping it close to realistic to the core Aarav needs a special token of appreciation for carrying a tremendous attitude as a ruthless villain which he does at ease... Overall a neat package of all commercial elements takes a must see verdict.

Worth watching

[kalaivanicuteheart · 8/10 · 20 November 2022]

One of Uday's finest acting could be seen in this movie. Arav was super apt for the villain role. Nidhi agarwal has also done justice to her role. Kalaiyarasan's last scene was so intense. Magizh thirumeni has proved himself in this movie again. Special mention to the romantic sequences in the movie. There is some freshness in the bgm and the scenes. The story is kind of unique and the screenplay was thrilling. The way they track people in the movie one after the other was interesting to watch. I don't understand the negative reviews for such nice movie. It's totally worth watching. A good watch for the weekend.

Worth to watch

[drudramurthy-75803 · 10/10 · 16 December 2022]

Well explained movie of corporate criminals, Uday sir acting suited to this story line , this movie is mixture of love, twist, physics and also about handbags🤗.good movie from kt team.. In this movie they tells in climax line is about heroes fighting one hero can fight with Max 3 or 4 people's when the limit exceed we want to run mass fighting is suited in films only that was an nice dialogue.

Now many acters choosing comercials which is suited for them box office collection.

But now Uday sir choosing some of the awareness films which is essential to know the public related contents.

Which was nenjuku needhi also an public related films . Uday sir has lot of money to invest in movie but he is don't doing like of the wastage , they investing money for what people want to knowww.....

Kalagathalaivan

[alisn-28057 · 10/10 · 17 December 2022]

Kalagathalaivan is good movie and thriller and climax is awsm. Even romance were fantastic.good.

The movie will be packed with suspense, crime and it would be engaging thriller. Magizh knows what is Udayanidhi is capable of 🙌 no unnecessary or unwanted mass element for the Hero and many director should watch this film so they can understand script needs a hero. There is only one fight which is realistic at the end. There is a dialogue kept in the film whatever be the situation one can beat one or two people at a time. These are strength of director. He did so much research on the film and that's visible. Overall you can for sure watch once in theatre. My Rating is 3 out of 5.

Artificial acting and Shallow story

[pandianbaluthevar · 1/10 · 20 November 2022]

This is a fantasy movie, however the movie is still unwatchable because of unbelievable logic goofups and indisciplined acting by the hero Udhayanidhi.

A movie can be a political propaganda, but if it is ridden with so many logical loopholes, unnecessary songs and obnoxious plot/storyline, it makes the movie unwatchable.

The movie is about a Finance Expert in a financial MNC who finds out about finance frauds and more sinister breaches and he ultimately turns a whistleblower.

The songs are not peppy and famous, but the main problem is the songs appear in unwanted and unnecessary sections in the film and it ends up diluting the film.

Terrific narration!!!

[sriramthestranger · 9/10 · 17 December 2022]

Its very rare to witness a realistic fight scene in a hero vs villain genre movie. But, this one has and also had a gripping narration. This is the perfect movie I have seen where the protagonist has played a perfectly anonymous guy on a mission. He is equally scared about his reveal and how it will affect his kith and kins.

The cuts to the flashback are right on the money. The last part gets flat as one is not able to perceive Udhayanidhi Stalin in a Taekwondo action avatar. This movie could have worked better had the casting been different.

Magizh Thirumeni should be on the leagues of Lokesh Kanagaraj for his scripts and execution. Hope he finds his place soon!! Must watch!!

Good but slow, poorly edited

[saru2020 · 4/10 · 18 November 2022]

Went to watch this for the director as his style of presentation has been good so far in all his previous attempts but this one lagged in so many areas.

The film's cat & mouse based screenplay is good enough to keep you engaged but doesn't entertain as it moves in a dead slow pace.

The plot/story of the film also seems to be kinda unique with a different kinda corporate villan-ism but a wasted opportunity mainly due to poor music/bgm and worst editing, this is one of those films which got spoiled due to poor editing.

The protagonist's casual act did work very well, its probably his best, other actors did just fine but nothing note worthy except the main antagonists' role which drove us through the entire thing till the very end.

The final touch of Bruce Lee in the climax was still good even after the same concept being touched upon by many films in the past.

Overall, its a decently made flick that deserve a one-time watch for film fanatics.

Comrades against the Corporates

[vickyvignesh-57475 · 9/10 · 19 December 2022]

Maghizh Thirumeni once again proved that his scripts are very unique and he is one of the most underrated flim director's of Tamil Industry.

He has given opportunities for many young actors, cinematographer is also new.

Kudos to the stunt choreographers, They have shown the real possible fight sequences not like the kind of impossible sequences which usually d done masala movie makers.

Violent villian who is doing the pathological killings. You can feel the brutality of killings but with very less blood showers.

All those comrade kind of characters are well written with the good screen presence.

All in all a good thriller with the brilliant whistle blowing concept.

Well done team Kudos... A Must Watch.

Worth a watch

[pugazholi · 8/10 · 29 December 2022]

A slow start but director had done an excellent job. Worth a watch, trying to talk about making public sectors private. Editing and stunts were worth a mention. All characters acted pretty good. Climax was not a typical fight or chasing... very well executed with some worth the advice. Even if you know martial arts, single person can not win when more than 2-3 fight 😊

Not sure who the heroin is, should I say good or not good. Not sure.

Oh, the girl with the villain. Nice play. Typically, they don't keep a girl as an assistant. Is it samooga neethi paarvai ... don't see any good reason to have that character except to show to audience there may not be some cruel rape scene!

1 extra point for Uthay, for may be his last movie. 😂

Poor acting and very slow screenplay...

[shibuchervathursamuel · 1/10 · 23 November 2022]

The movie storyline and script are at least 50 years old. The movie would have been one time watch if there was a good hero like Dhanush, SK, Vijay Sethupathi, Kalaiarasan, Suriya, Karthi, etc.. but because of Udhayanidhi's poor artificial acting, the entire movie is spoiled.. Movie was very slow, but due to believable screenplay, the movie has not become a disaster..

Basically the movie is about a successful automobile company that hides its poor pollution standards and the hero acts as a whistleblower and ultimately exposes them. The songs are not peppy or enjoyable and the songs actually reduce the speed and intensity of the movie. For such movies with good storyline, they should avoid casting sub-standard actors like Udhayanidhi, just because he is politically influential.

Brilliant attempt

[johntamil · 10/10 · 13 January 2023]

Movie was too good. I don't know why people are giving bad reviews. Udayanithi was simple and acted well in this movie. As a villian character Aarav did his role well and good. Heroine had a equal space with hero. Technically should have been improved otherwise movie was top notch.

Director engaged audience from the beginning to end of the movie. I should talk about the climax. Not like the usual movies, hero accepted that he can't fight with 8 people and win. I don't want spoil that climax fight and I wish everyone must watch the movie.

I wish other directors also should write the script to engage the audience for the whole movie.

Disappointing & Bland attempt

[mswsatofficial · 3/10 · 23 November 2022]

It was hyped a lot but the end product was mediocre one.

Acting of Aarav and other supporting actors were too artificial especially the way Aarav speaks throughout the movie. There is no twists or turns, all were pretty much predictable and most importantly boring.

The fight scene in the climax was draggy and I can see other audiences got fed up and start scrolling their mobile phones during the second half 😬

I think Tamil cinema should avoid making these type of typical "Corporate Mafia" concept movies, it's better to take a documentary for that than using this industry.

In Summary: The Tamil directors should avoid taking farmer's issue and Corporate issues as their stories if they can't give something different and gripping for the audience.

Awesome script

[nkchnitheesh · 8/10 · 7 January 2023]

Awesome movie. The story, Direction, Twists and the scientific facts related to some chemical reactions are made the movie even better. The action sequences between villain and hero shown in a kind of realistic. Some where I felt we could have shown in better way. You can watch the movie it won't disappoint you. Hats off to the direction and actors who have a perfect touch to the characters. The movie brings out the true strategy of corporate companies. That was happening now in the realistic words. There are movies which shows the corporate crimes but this one is a different kind of story telling.

Very slow screenplay

[ahmedwahebnusrool · 2/10 · 23 November 2022]

The movie storyline and direction are OK, but the movie is moving at snail's pace.. The fight scenes are unrealistic and boring.. many of the audiences walked out for tea/snacks during fight sequences because they were defying Physics and laws of gravity..

The movie is about a corporate employee exposing the dark and unlawful pollution secrets of an automobile MNC, and it contains lot of logical loopholes.. for example, there is a scene where hero will copy secret contents from a computer to a pen drive to expose the automobile company.. then the hero takes the pen drive and travels hundreds of kilometres to hand it over to concerned authorities.. in today's world, contents can be shared through WhatsApp, email, Google Drive, etc etc..

Udhayanidhi acting is very artificial and is a black mark for the film.. if the movie team made the movie a bit fast paced and replaced the hero, then the movie would have been a very good movie...
