    Thalaivi - A good movie
    Thalaivi - A good movie

    What I loved : Casting & Acting of Kangana, Casting of Aravind Swami, Nassar AL Vijay's unexpected good direction Dramatic scenes made enjoyable without lag Story

    What I hated : Aravind Swami's acting, Shivaji Ganeshan's casting with an unknown guy (eventhough he appears only for a minute, that was a totally nasty casting) Songs were below average

    Overall felt good, plus after watching a movie in theatre after a decade !
