About half an hour in director Pandiraj’s ‘Thalivan Thalavi’, Nithya Menen’s pararasi receives a phone call from her husband Ajeveran (Vijay Sethupathi). His phone displays his name ‘Kiruku Laiya‘, Who delayedly translates into’ crazy or crazy man ‘. This name is perfect only for IMSEVERAN, but for every person in the world of director Pandiraj’s ‘Thalivan Thalivi’.
Set in Madurai, ‘Thalivan Thali’ begins with Pararasi, with her parents, performing a ritual of ritual in a temple for her daughter, but her husband without Azeweran. This couple has been living separately for three months, and we soon learn that pararandi is demanding divorce. As their families are involved, and after hundreds of ears-divided arguments, it becomes clear that Aamasevaran and Pararasi are two crazy, indecent people who are trapped with each other.
Ajeveran and Pararasi get into trouble because their mother and mother -in -law infiltrate their lives. His life hit a break due to a large -scale fight, which is snowball in a fully developed war. The village heads come together to find a solution to their problems. Whether they meet again or become a story in their different ways.
Director Pandiraj’s films have always propagated the importance of unity, family and ego-less relationships. In his family drama, family disputes are often discovered, and they are always high on melodrama. These films end with the reunion of a family, where people let their ego go and live a happy life. But ‘Thalivan Thalivi’ is a peak film. As Yogi Babu says in the final credit, they are not normal people.

Everyone, including Vijay Sethupati and Nithya Menon, get vigorously. The level of decibels is so high that you can lose your hearing as long as you tolerate this retrograde exam. The film is a treasure of archaic ideas. From the husband -wife getting involved in physical abuse to divorce and even in court, ‘Thaalivan Thali’ all glorifies all this. During the first half, you see the Agasweon and Pararasi shouting on each other without creating a point.
When you hear that they are moving towards a divorce, it screams in vain. It surfaced as a silver lining, but happiness is short -lived. Because ‘Thalivan Thalivi’ digs a pit so deep that you face a regressive idea one after the other. Aagasaveraran and Perrassi have a love-gesture relationship. They are couples who fight like crazy, but come back with each other as nothing happened. His daughter’s presence does not tie her tongue or her hands. Even a small problem warns them an extreme response, and their families are no different.
‘Thalaivan Thaliva’s’ doubles’ couple is trapped in a vicious cycle. They fight, break, patch up, they realize their mistakes and the same happens again. Repeat the cycle again. And you are trapped in this never ending loop which does everything wrong in their toxic relationship. You are feeling for the baby, which is no option but to see non-stop bting with half of his half-and-half head. Imagine how painful her life will be when she is older.
If you think it was bad, wait for it! The hero of the film says that people choose a divorce option to experience freedom and freedom. Another hero calls divorce just a piece of paper. Recently, Rithanya’s death on dowry harassment discussed the girl not to support her parents. Divorce is never a piece of paper. This is an entrance to those who are caught in unhappy marriage. For men and women. If anything, divorce should not be ridiculed; There should be a lack of choice.
While Nithya Meneen and Vijay Sethupathi look at this part, it is surprised to see two terrible artists after the glory of such ideas to maintain culture and family values. In this film, he is watching his performance with his over-the-top performance. ‘Thalivan Thalivi’ provokes some laughter-worthy moments, thanks to Yogi Babu.
Despite his good production values and beautiful music by Santosh Narayanan, ‘Thalaivan Thalivi is an ideal example of family entertainment that completely remembers the mark on social responsibility.
