One of the best films i have seen
Holstra
Boring, long, and too preachy.
Hadrina
The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.
Vijay Kumar
I guess Vijay has changed a lot from this movie. He dropped all his stupid hypes and done a wonderful job after long time. I use to hate Vijay to the core. But this movie has changed my views. All credits goes to the amazing story line. In fact after so many years I had tears in my eyes for a movie. Vijay and Asin has done their role neat. Another important thing to be noticed here is that after long time, female lead has played a important role in a Vijay movie. Mithra Kurian has got a good start in tamil movies. She looks stunning in this movie. She has done a good job too. Rajkiran has been given a honorary role, but too short. Screenplay needs applaud too. Thanks Siddique for making it an interesting one.Now, whats missing here. In the initial part of the movie, a villain role was introduced, but its totally forgotten. But may be if that role has come back to the story, it would have looked like just another movie.

Kaavalan is feel good entertainer....Truly speaking Vijay's performance was good in this movie especially in romance and Asin could have projected well(Like Nayan in Malayalam).Even though there are few changes made in Tamil to suit Vijay's image director did manage to maintains the hero's characterization consistently till the end.There are also some flaws in the story but can be forgiven since no movie is 100% perfect in Tamil cinema.... :) Raj Kiran , Roja, MS Bhaskar and Mithra lives up to their roles. Even though comedy is not like friends Vadivelu brings smiles whenever he comes in screen(Vijay and Vadivelu combo hits back after Sura). Vijay should have did this movie before Vettaikaran and Sura which was an ideal time but its not too late as it is evident that this movie proved in BO.Screenplay is quite slow and dragging in some places and Asin could have performed better. All the songs are perfectly placed except "Vinnai kappan oruvan" and the songs perfectly fit to the story.At last all the credits move to one man who made a tremendous comeback with this film and he is no other than "ILAYATHALAPATHY VIJAY", he carries the film on his shoulders from the start to the climax with his fantastic performance which is quite hard for anti Vijay fans to digest but we have to accept the truth that Vijay lived this role.

Kavalan , remake of the Malayalam film Bodyguard, brings together the successful duo of Vijay and Siddique once again, not to mention the hit Vijay-Asin combination. Coming from Siddique, the man who gave us Friends, the expectations is of a Vijay starrer that would be rather different from the ones we have been offered lately. Kavalan is an emotionally narrated love story about a righteous and innocent man who is assigned the task of being a young woman's bodyguard. He puts full faith and confidence in anything that he does; his love story too blossoms because of these qualities. But, unwittingly, the faith that he shows is taken advantage of in a way that no one would imagine. It is not with malice or any villainy that this is done; but out of love and admiration towards such an innocent person. It is love and destiny that play hero and villain in this story of relationships. The movie also subtly tells us that it is never good to leave things untold for too long in love.Overall, Kavalan is a movie that defies all the preset notions of a Vijay starrer that have been built over the last couple of years. It is his return to the romantic hero mould and also a call to all directors of the industry to stop pre-meditating 'over the top' scripts for him. A relatable love story shot in a cute and simple manner, rich with emotions.

Note: For People.. All are saying vijay comeback hit from past 5 film. Only Sura is miserably flopped at box office. Other films are hit only. ATM - Hit, Kuruvi - Super Hit (150 days), Villu - Average, Vettaikkaran - Super Hit (100 days). So, it is comeback vijay from 1 movie.He gave good and clean family entertainer of d year (no double meaning dialogue, no sexy songs etc.). Vijay was show stealer. Vijay + Vadivelu comedy is very much appreciable. Asin and Mithra Kurian done good job. Raj Kiran and Roja were OK. It is a relatable love story shot in a cute and simple manner, rich with emotions.Siddique's Screenplay was excellent. Vidyasagar done commendable job (especially in song Step Step, Yaradhu). The song placement are good. Last 20 minutes is heart touchable.On whole, the Kaavalan is good family entertainer. A must watch movie....
