Thalaivaa was not as bad as some people told me. It was good infact. Nice acting, good story.
PS: I didnt like it on a personal note though.
Quite true. In fact, I watched the movie for a 2nd time with a group of people yday who I would not classify as Vijay fans (they are neutrals, but they have liked a few Vijay movies in the past). And they all unanimously liked it. And I was easily able to sit through the 'so-called dragging 2nd half' as much as I did the first time.
Is your PS because it was not a hardcore romantic movie?
