The story is no big secret, and is predictable at most places, as to what it might lead to, in the next frame. Kali’s critic on Vadivu is blunt at times but is still understandable. The climax convinces but leaves multiple unanswered questions. But all said, ‘Kaaviya Thalaivan’ really is a meticulously laid out drama, polished in the story and perfected in each frame, for a classic entertainer for all, and especially for those who have a taste for retro.
