Technically, Kaaviya Thalaivan is flawless with superb camerawork by Nirav Sha who has beautifully picturized the 1940’s period aesthetically and Praveen KL’s editing makes sure that the film flows smoothly and coherently. Art direction by Santhanam is authentic and sets the perfect ambience for the period drama. AR Rahman’s composition is out of the world! Be it the songs or the background score, the composer has shown his class in the film.
Vasanthabalan deserves a pat on his back for coming out with a brave and unflinching film that oozes the kind of sincerity that you long for in most Tamil films these days.
