Thalaivan Thalaivii: Why you should stream Vijay Sethupathi and Nithya Menen film if you are fan of family dramas

Thalaivan Thalaivii, the second collaboration between actors Vijay Sethupathi and Nithya Menen, is all set to make its way to your homes by premiering on Prime Video on August 22. OTTplay Premium existing users can also watch Thalaivan Thalaivii, available in multiple audio options, by topping up their subscription with Prime Video. Thalaivan Thalaivii is a family drama directed by filmmaker Pandiraaj, and if you are a fan of the genre, then your weekend watch is sorted. So, here we are giving you a heads up on why you should watch the film and how you may actually end up liking it.

Why stream Thalaivan Thalaivii if you are fan of family dramas

Thalaivan Thalaivii starts right from Vijay Sethupathi’s Agasaveeran gatecrashing into his daughter’s first tonsure ceremony held by his wife Perarasi (Nithya Menen) and her family. At first, you don’t understand the equation between the husband and wife, while it slowly begins to unravel their love story from how they first met, got married, and eventually separated. Thalaivan Thalaivii takes a loud, comedic, and non-linear route to tell the story of Agasaveeran, an eatery owner, and Perarasi, an MA graduate, who eventually tie the knot and seemingly lead a happy life.

If you are person who likes cinema that explores the family dynamics, then Thalaivan Thalaivii is your choice to watch this weekend. It explores the idea of a couple living along with the family members, and how it might possibly create an impact. While it does not certainly paint a rosy picture of marital life, the film also takes time to get into the groove of understanding the protagonists who come with their own flaws. Thalaivan Thalaivii has elements of comedy, sentiments, action, and romance, and how life is all things spice, sugar, and sometimes tad bit loud.

Pandiraaj, who is known for making films with family sentiments, carries on with his philosophy in this film too, as he makes Agasaveeran and Perarasi never give up on their marriage (even when it gets dysfunctional). While it is up to each one of us to decide, what is the right stance to take in such a marriage, Thalaivan Thalaivii sets out to be merely a family entertainer, and nearly checks all the boxes. The supporting characters who play the family members, get their due share of screen space and reasons, while aiding to the overall arc of the story.

Thalaivan Thalaivii may not be the best of films to talk about progressiveness, and at moments it takes a little regressive stance on topics such as divorce and separation, but that’s a story for another day. But if you are someone looking to watch a film that is a no-brainer, and simply offers entertainment, then the Vijay Sethupathi and Nithya Menen film will offer you exactly that. It is also a contrasting departure from the actors’ previous collaboration, the 2022 Malayalam social drama 191a, which showcased their subtle acting.
