Thailavii BO Collection Day 1: Kangana Ranaut’s latest offering Thalaivii has opened to a disappointing box office collection of Rs 1.25 crore.
Review: I'm going with 2.5 out of 5 stars.
Kangana Ranaut and Arvind Swami bring power and poise to an uneven, formulaic Jayalalithaa biopic
Thalaivii documents the life and times of ex-Tamil Nadu CM and screen diva Jayalalithaa (Kangana Ranaut); from her early days as a teenage actress and Kollywood legend MGR (Arvind Swami)'s heroine and later, his soulmate, to her entry into politics, clashes with M. Karunanidhi (Nassar) and eventually becoming the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu and people's messiah.
What's it about
Thalaivii documents the life and times of ex-Tamil Nadu CM and screen diva Jayalalithaa (Kangana Ranaut) – from her early days as a teenage actress and Kollywood legend MGR (Arvind Swami)'s heroine and later, his soulmate, to her entry into politics, clashes with M. Karunanidhi (Nassar) and eventually becoming the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu and people's messiah.
What's hot
If it weren't for the performances, Thalaivii would have barely even passed muster. Kangana Ranaut brings all her inner power, underlying vulnerability and strong feminist values to breathe life into Jayalalithaa and constantly remind us how many extra miles a woman has to traverse to break doors and make it in a so-called man's world. Arvind Swami evokes every bit of the old-world charm of a yesteryear legend like MGR and the romantic moments between him and Kangana are the highlight as also the saving grace of the biopic.
Nassar is sufficiently malignant as the scheming Karunanidhi while Raj Arjun is downright nasty at times as MGR's aide and confidant who'll go to any lengths for what he feels is the right thing as far as his master's image goes. Madhoo and Bhagyashree are both revelations in their return to the screen, whereas Thambi Ramaiah and Poorna make the most of their limited, semi-cooked characters. AL Vijay's direction, K.V. Vaijayendra Prasad's script and Rajat Arora's dialogues, while not on the money for large parts, do show fleeting glimpses of the stirring emotions you'd expect from the film of this kind. The songs, while nothing remarkable, manage to be pleasing to the ears.
What's not
When I said that A.L. Vijay's direction, KV Vaijayendra Prasad's script and Rajat Arora's dialogues shine for only fleeting glimpses, it's because for the most part, their combined creative effort is largely uninspiring, unimaginative, pedestrian and one-dimensional, turning Jayalalithaa's life into a formulaic template of slow-mo shots, sudden outbursts of larger-than-life bravado and every other cliche witnessed tons of times in past Bollywood biopics. It doesn't help either that the screenplay is uneven, the time frames of both Jayalalithaa's acting and political journey are confounding and vast parts of her life, including her entire political career after becoming CM for the first time, are absent.
For a movie that runs for almost two and a half hours, we get to see precious little of what actually made Jayalalithaa into the messiah of the masses and don't even get me started on the illogical plot contrivances that try turning her into a demi-god or the complete whitewashing of MGR. Instead, the narrative is crammed with several moments of her life that look repetitive and could've easily been done away with, raising as many questions over Anthony and Ballu Saluja's editing as over the lackluster direction and script. Even Vishal Vittal's cinematography and G.V. Prakash Kumar's background score come across as strictly by-the-numbers fare.
Thalaivii (transl. Female Leader) is an upcoming Indian biographical film about the life of J. Jayalalithaa, politician and actress who served six times as the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu, with Kangana Ranaut playing the role of Jayalalithaa.
Shot simultaneously in Tamil, Hindi and Telugu languages, it is directed by Vijay and written by K. V. Vijayendra Prasad, Madhan Karky (Tamil), and Rajat Arora (Hindi). Thalaivii is produced by Vishnu Vardhan Induri and Shailesh R Singh of Vibri Motion Pictures and Karma Media And Entertainment respectively.
The film was launched officially on Jayalalithaa's birth anniversary, 24 February 2019. Initially the film was titled Thalaivi in Tamil and Jaya in Hindi and Telugu languages, but the makers later planned to release it under the title Thalaivi in all three languages.
Principal shooting began on 10 November 2019 and completed in December 2020.
The film was scheduled for a theatrical release on 23 April 2021.
As of April 2021, the release date of film has been postponed indefinitely due to rise in COVID-19 cases and lockdown in Maharashtra.
It was later rescheduled to release on 10 September 2021, with the new title Thalaivii.
Thalaivi is an Indian Hindi language Biographical-Drama-Period-Political film. Directed by A. L. Vijay and produced by Vishnu Vardhan Induri & Shailesh R Singh under the banner of Vibri & Karma Media Entertainment. The film features Kangana Ranaut in lead role. Thalaivi is selected to hit screen on 23 April, 2021 [India].

The film performed better in the South Indian market as compared to the Hindi market. The low box office collection is also because the Maharashtra government has not opened the theatres yet, keeping in mind the Covid-19 situation.
The film collected Rs 20 lakh in the Hindi centres, with the highest contribution from states such as Delhi, Uttar Pradesh, and Gujarat. In Tamil Nadu, it gave a boasting box office collection of Rs 80 lakh. The film has also opened to positive reviews from critics and audiences alike.
