Kavalan (2011)


What's it about:
A good natured, honest guy (Vijay) who is loyal to the man (Rajkiran) who named him is made the bodyguard of  Rajkiran's daughter (Asin) and her friend after Vijay saves the entire family on an occasion. Asin starts loving Vijay but on the phone. Vijay doesn't know that Asin is the girl on the line till the very end. This naiveness of Vijay leads to some unexpected circumstances
 
                                                                                                                                                  
Hits
  • VIJAY. He looks awesome. Dresses neatly. Performs well. Does everything that is expected of an entertainer.
  • Vadivelu does the same old things but makes people laugh.
  • Asin looks pretty & sexy.
  • 'Sada Sada', 'Yaaradhu' and 'Step Step' songs gel with the story and sound good too. 
Misses
  • Though it is different from Vijay's other recent flops, Kavalan isn't exactly a new film. It is a typical family tear jerker towards the end
  • 2 songs are unwanted to the core, the opening song and the last song
  • The twist that comes in the end is more convenient than shocking
VERDICT
Audiences are seeing this film for VIJAY and VIJAY alone ... He has single handedly made the film pretty watchable though it could have been crisper.
