Iruvar-II [kaviyathalaivan]
on

At last we got a chance to know how tamil cinema came from drama stage to bioscope,very interesting.Need to appreciate Vasantha balan's braveness, for producing such a movie in this modern world.Iruvar movie directed by maniratnam, which highlighted the story of MGR and Karunanidhi's friendship and their growth from Drama and cinema Stage - Political Stage as chief ministers.This movie highlight's what was before that in Tamil Cinema and the contribution of Bagavathar, Chinappa,N.S.Krishnan and K.P.Sundarambal for its growth. So according to me we can name this movie by another name - " IRUVAR II "

"KAVIYA THALAIVAN" -I always admire director vasantha balan for his extra ordinary efforts.. after d release f ARAVAN, i felt we rely doesnt recognise him well.. but this movie as a perfect combo n all aspects,i hope it wil bring him al d credits what he missed till date dat he rely deserve for...
i had a mindset dat actor SIDDHARTH neve match for dis movie.. and itz a big blunder d director made... but!!! siddharth... no words.. jus his acting influenced d entire muvie... i cud say dis s one f d best acting n his career.. i neve imagined him out f urbanised role!! d impact f freaky dude f rang de basanti always sticked n mind.. but!! he prooved himself versatile thru dis flick.. NASAR asusual brilliant.. d research work for dis muvie s defly not dat easy... costumes and art works enhances this period flick in every aspects.. even though dey made dis a contemperory wrk,it doesnt affect d classic output..
The intelligence in the scirpt s soo subtle.. so this might b a boring for dose who expecting too much drama in the screenplay.. AR.RAHMAN s jus a magnetic promotion for d muvie till it get released.. now... its a perfect combo served lik a classic wine as a team.. these kinda efforts shud b encoraged... and dis kinda creations are treasure to the tamil cinema.. hats off!! to d crew...
