Kavan

Should it not be spelt Kavann? Given that it is a 'ட'ண்ணகர 'ண'னா in Tamizh? Anyways, thanks to some of these film names we end up bettering our knowledge of Tamizh. Kavann or கவண் means 'Sling'. And we do see that the movie slings back and forth hurling stones at media some times and flowers at some other times.
We have seen movies expose the dark shades of our state of politics, business, society, schools, colleges and what not! This time around #KVAnand takes a dig at Media. Surprised and shocked, though we can take it with a pinch of salt and ignore some aspects of exaggeration. Movies come with this right endorsed on them - the right to exaggerate.
Gripping and entertaining first half; predictable second half. If only some cliches in the second half could have been avoided, and some unwanted stretches of the screenplay cut down, I would have called it as one of the best entertainers. Now I have to stop myself calling it a good entertainer.
Music by Hip Hop Tamizha. Hmmm! Loud. The concept of setting Bharathiyaar's songs to trendy music is good. But not all of them should have been so jarring in the name of rock and (loud) desi beats. But yes! Loved Bharathi's words from youngsters!
Now about the cast. I have no qualms in admitting that I'm totally a huge fan of #VijaySethupathi. Want to watch this movie again just for 3 important scenes where he has totally cracked it up. Of course, his dialogue delivery has to be worked upon. Very clearly one of the 'best actors' our film industry has produced in the recent times. Totally loved his 'smirk'iness. #Madonnafolds in very well. She must have been given more screen space. The rest of the journo group was good too. Jagan had scope to perform and he has always been a good bet. Nasser is wasted. Pandiarajan, again, lacked clarity in his dialogue delivery. He has only been using his 'rolling of eyes' as his only action ever since he has been an actor. Does that very well in this movie too! Power Star in a cameo. I feel sorry for this guy. Akashdeep Saighal as the villain. C'mon! Something certainly is wrong with this chappy. Horrible! Please keep him away from Tamizh movies for Tamizh's sake. That lady Bhavani has lived her role of a media business woman. Good act!
TR - what an intelligent man! If only some good mentor could have coached him!! I have always hated his rhyming dialogues. And that is one thing I hated in this movie too. He should have stopped with some undertone acting and brought in some maturity to the role. But he is loud and as always his own self. That's so disappointing! Don't people mature as they age?

Overall, semma entertainer. Watch for the sake of #VS😊😏
