Thalaivaa released in 9th August 2013 worldwide except Tamilnadu. Vijay and Amala Paul done lead roles in Thalaivaa. Vijay joins hands with Director A.L Vijay for the first time. Sathyaraj , Santhanam and Ponvannan also done important roles in Thalaivaa. Music composed by G.V Prakash kumar. Cinematography by Nirav Shah. The running time of Thalaivaa is 3 hours !
The basic theme of Thalaivaa is " A common man turns into Leader". The movie starts with the Introduction of a leader in Mumbai. None other than Sathyaraj plays the role of that leader. Then story moving to Australia .Vijay's entry starts with Blasting "Tamil Passanga" song with super dance performance of Vijay. Amala paul's and Santhanam's entry also happening there and first half of Thalaivaa is a fun ride. First half is full of Love ,Comedy and a Suspance in Interval block.
Thalaivaa totally changes in second half. The bad Screenplay drags the second half of Thalaivaa. Villain is not up to the expectation. He is good but not Best. Another heroine also makes her entry in second half of the movie. Most expected song "Vaangana Vannakanganna" add more color to second half.
All together Vijay done his best with acting and dance performance. Amala paul , the leading lady in Thalaivaa done fair performence. Sathyaraj plays a strong character of a leader done his best. Like his other recent films likes Singam 2 and Pattathu Yaanai , Santhanam rocked with comedy in Thalaivaa also.Only bad second half screenplay totally drags the film.
G.V Prakash's music already finds a place at chartbusters is more effective on screen. But he tottaly fails in background score. Theme music of Thalaivaa can be only finds at Climax.
