Watched Kaaviya Thalaivan on the first day night show.
Movie is set in the 1930s and 40s. The cast includes Nasser, Siddharth, Prithviraj and Vedika.
Nasser runs a theatre company in which Siddharth and Prithviraj are part of. Ponvannan who was playing the lead role (raja part) in all the dramas is sent out of the company and it is between Siddharth and Prithiviraj to take up the lead role.
Siddharth is selected over Prithviraj and there starts the Prithviraj's enmity towards Siddharth. Add Vedika into the mix with a two one sided loves and things get out of hand. To the extend that Prithviraj ensures Siddharth is kicked out of the company and also the climax.
The movie doesn't show the great acting talents or details of the theatre during that period. It is just a movie of how two people who grow up together fall apart. Not sure why this movie needed a 40s setting?
Siddharth impregnates two people in the movie - First a daughter of a Zamindar (Why did I get a feeling that this girl had a mustache? ) and second is Vedika and in between wavers becomes a drunkard and also becomes a patriotic person to stage only patriotic dramas.
Prithviraj on the other hand makes it big in the theatre world and makes a lot of money before he starts losing it all in the theatre itself.
Vedika has nothing much to do. Even though some people claim that she has a character with substance. Why did she fall for Siddharth that she wanted to bear his child is a question that you are left with - Just because the hero who she doesn't see for years becomes patriotic?
Music is good and Rahman has ensured it brings the 40s feel to the movie.
On the whole I didn't see much in the movie. It was a simple story which didn't require a 40s setting. It was only OK.
