I happened to watch a new Tamil film Kavya Thalaivan yesterday
A good film on stage artists of pre partition era based on lives of singers K B Sundarambal and S G KIttappa
Set in early 20th century , it deals with rivalry between two theatre artists played by siddarth and prithviraj as to who will play the "RajaPart' , the principal role
in plays
The way of working of old drama companies in which destitute or poor boys were trained and brought up by Guru heading the troupes is nicely depicted.
The director vasantabalan takes you back to another era and captivating music of A R Rehman who seems to have researched a lot before composing the tunes
besides good background score is the highlight of the film. It is good in parts though not a brilliant film.
Our TB senior citizens in late seventies and eighties would definitely like it . It is a clean and interesting film which keeps one absorbed for couple of hours.
