Plot[edit]
Vishwa is a dancer who lives in Sydney, Australia and also manages a water
distribution business in the name of his deceased mother Ganga there with his
childhood friend Logu and his dance team members. He is the son of Ramadurai,
a Mumbai-based don who fights for rights of the Tamil-speaking migrants in the city.
Ramadurai, fearing for his son's safety since Ganga's murder at the hands of rivals,
had sent him away to Australia via Ratnam, his friend. Although they are in regular
contact, Ramadurai lies to Vishwa that he is a businessman.
Vishwa falls in love with Meera, the daughter of a restaurateur, who is one of his
customers. Meera reciprocates Vishwa's love and joins his dance team, helping
them win a dance competition. She soon proposes marriage to Vishwa, who agrees.
Meera's father too agrees to the marriage but wants to discuss the matter formally
with Ramadurai. They leave for Mumbai, where Vishwa finds out about his father's
true identity and that he is currently in hiding due to several false cases registered
against him by his archenemy, another don Bhima Bhai. This is because Ramadurai
murdered Bhima's father for killing Ganga, so Bhima swore revenge. Vishwa also
finds out that Meera and her "father" are officers of the crime branch who lured him
to Mumbai so that they could locate and arrest Ramadurai. Ramadurai is arrested,
but just after he enters the police van, a bomb planted by Bhima in the van explodes,
killing him. Vishwa is distraught over his father's death and decides to stay back in
Mumbai and take over his father's crime syndicate. He dons the title
of Thalaivaa and provides his own brand of justice for the helpless and downtrodden.
Meanwhile, Bhima instigates riots in Mumbai which kill many people and leave
several others injured. Vishwa arrives at the scene and saves several others,
including Gowri, a Bhojpuri woman who marriage was nullified due to the riots.
Although there is seemingly no evidence that Bhima is responsible, a tape recorded
by a cameraman Video Kumar, highlighting Bhima's involvement in the riots is stolen
by a Bhojpuri-speaking pickpocket. Vishwa and his gang manage to reclaim the tape
from the pickpocket and publicize it, leading to Bhima's arrest. Vishwa also kills the
corrupt Chief Minister of Maharashtra, who had given Bhima and his gang free rein,
and puts the blame on Bhima. However, Bhima soon escapes from prison and kills
most of Vishwa's henchmen on the night of Maha Shivaratri including Gowri, with the
help of Vishwa's uncle Ranga, who is Vishwa's second-in-command. When Vishwa
enters a fort after hearing Ranga is being "held hostage" there by Bhima, he is
stabbed by Ranga, who immediately informs the police that Vishwa is "dead" and
leaves the fort with his physically handicapped son, who is Vishwa's cousin and
driver. When Ranga's son hears about his father's treachery, he becomes enraged
and drives the car into a petroleum tanker, killing them both. Meanwhile, Vishwa,
though injured, is still alive. After a bitter fight, he kills Bhima by stabbing his throat.
Meera soon arrives at the fort and realizes that Vishwa killed Bhima, but she acts
quickly and shoots the corpses of Bhima and his henchmen to imply that she killed
them, thus saving Vishwa from a jail term.
Meera eventually quits her job as a police officer after realizing her love for Vishwa,
and marries him. With Bhima and his gang out of the way, Vishwa is now the
unchallenged don in Mumbai.

Release[edit]

for Thalaivaa[44] Tamil Nadu rights were bought by Vendhar Movies and Kerala rights
by Thameens via Vendhar Movies. The music rights were sold to Sony Music.[45] Prior
to Vijay's birthday on 21 June a theatrical film trailer was released by Sony Music
India on their YouTube channel.[46] Trailer got 1.2 million in 32 hours and 2 million
views within 2 days on YouTube after its release. The film garnered totally 3.4 million
hits on YouTube. The satellite rights of the film were secured by Sun TV for a record

and was given a "U" certiticate by the Indian Censor Board. The film has been

Reception[edit]
The movie received mixed response from critics.[48] Oneindia.in stated that the film is
a typical entertainer from Vijay, and will make his fans proud to be his fans.[49][50] IBN
Live gave it a 3/5 rating, stating that the film is a full-baked product. Sify stated
"Thalaivaa is good and the movie was racy and shorter". [51] Metromasti.com gave the
movie 3/5 stars, stating, "Thalaiva which runs for 185 minutes has very intelligent
scenes and is expected to be a complete class hit entertainer movie of the year". [52]
'Times of India' gave it a 3/5, stating Vijay is in top form when he's normal and
menacing. Sathyaraj as the don is effective. But the one who makes this arduous
journey enjoyable is Santhanam, whose poker-faced humour provides relief in a
largely grim story.[53] MovieCrow rated it a 3/5, stating that the movie is a typical
entertainer.[54] Bookmyshow rated the film 3/5, stating that "Overall, Thalaivaa is a
very good movie to watch, not just for movie fanatics down south but all across the
nation. If it's the one thing you learn from this flick is – If you're your father's son, you
will follow his footsteps!".[55]
Overseas[edit]
Thalaivaa opened well at international markets, especially in the US and UK. [56] In UK
From the paid previews on Thursday till Saturday, Thalaivaa's gross in the UK is ₹78
lakh (US$110,000) approximate from 34 locations and it is seen as a very impressive
opening. Vijay's films generally embark on a great start in the UK, and Thalaivaa is
no exception.[57] The film's UK collection is said to be ₹1.14 crore (US$160,000) in its
opening weekend.[56] Vijay starrer Thalaivaa has been declared a Hit in UK. In UK
"Thalaivaa" made an impressive start earning ₹1.14 crore (US$160,000) (£1,21,249)
from 36 screens in the opening weekend. The film has made higher collections than
Suriya's "Singam 2" in the UK. "Singam 2" earned around ₹99 lakh (US$140,000) in
the first week of its release. But Vijay's "Thalaivaa" crossed "Singam 2" collections in
its debut weekend. The film continued its dream run at the UK box office even in its
second weekend. Its total UK collections are now pegged at ₹2.09
crore (US$290,000).[58]
At the end of the first weekend, the US gross of Thalaivaa from 44 reported locations
is US$212,000 ₹1.29 crore (US$180,000). A record total of 70 locations are
screening Thalaivaa and the total gross for the first weekend is expected to be in the
US$250,000 range[57] Thalaivaa fared well in Malaysia too. Thalaivaa has maintained
exceptionally well in its second weekend in Malaysia. The film has become ninth
highest grosser of all time in Malaysia's box office in just 10 days collection. In its
second weekend the film has collected ₹1.14 crore (US$160,000) (MYR 579,153) on
60 screens and average working out per screens ₹1.90 lakh (US$2,700) (MYR
9,654).[59] Thalaivaa collected around ₹8.34 crore (US$1.2 million) in just 10 days at
the Malaysian box office.[60] Baradwaj Rangan of the Hindu wrote "The director gets a
lot of things right...this film has been made with some integrity, with respect for the
story being told (and, to some extent, the audience too). After Vishwa's
transformation, he's rarely shown smiling. Even when Santhanam makes a re-entry,
there is no joyous reunion. Even after the heroine is separated from the hero for a
while, there are no "dream songs". "[61]
