Kaavalan

Year : 2011
Runtime : 152 Min.
Genre : Action, Romance
Director : Siddique
Movie Stars : Vijay, Asin, Rajkiran, Mithra Kurian, Roja Selvamani, Vadivelu

Language : Tamil


Tamil: காவலன்
Translation: Bodyguard

The first half of the film focuses on Boominathan (Vijay) being a bodyguard for Meera (Asin). As the film progresses Meera begins calling Boomie and pretending to be his secret admirer. This admiration turns into love for Meera. At this point of the film it doesn't matter that Boomie is her bodyguard because the movie makes no reference to this fact. Boomie goes from wearing an uniform and following Meera everywhere to barely paying her any attention. If you had missed the first half of the movie you would not know that he was her bodyguard and thus would be patting your head because the title means Bodyguard. Why does this matter? Kaavalan does a complete 180 and turns into your average secret admirer romance stories when that was the not the purpose in the beginning. I sort of feel like the whole "Bodyguard" thing was just a smoke screen for something else and didn't stay true to beginning-middle-end.

The ending got me. ;D The ending was the best part because its kind of a shocker and it's that little twist that Kaavalan has been needing for a long time now. I feel like it tied everything up nicely but while leaving a little cliffhanger.

^This movie will also be remade into Telugu and Hindi^.

PLOT: Remake of Malayalam filmBodyguard, Kaavalan is about a man who becomes the bodyguard of Muthuramalingam (Rajkiran) after he receives threats from heart broken family members of a deceased girl who was involved with Muthuramaligam's son. Soon the family threatens the daughter of Muthuramlingam, Meera. Boomie becomes Meera's bodyguard and receives unknown calls from a secret admirer (Meera). Boomie falls in love with his secret admirer and the rest of the film is about Boomie growing love.

There is a rat on his lip

Money see, Monkey do


Look at all that white chest hair
That's gonna hurt
NO! It's all pain.
