We just watched the trailer of Kaavalan and were stunned at the bold step the Tamil film industry has taken.
Folks, Kaavalan has two clowns, not one as is usually the norm in Tamil movies.
Voila, two comedians in a Tamil movie. So nice, yaa.
Of course, the movie features Vadivelu with a weird mustache and making an ass of himself as he is wont to lately.
But Vadivelu is only the second comedian in Kaavalan. Playing second fiddle.
First Comedian?
Guys, Kaavalan has a ‘first’ comedian too.
And this one also doubles as the hero of Kaavalan.
You guessed right, folks – our beloved Vijay is the comic hero of Kaavalan.
Sure, it’s a small step for Vijay but a giant leap for the Tamil film industry.
In Kaavalan, our Ilaya thalai-illatha-pathi does his best to prove the theory of Evolution.
If there are any still harboring doubts whether man evolved from the apes, Vijay sets all doubts aside with his simian antics in Kaavalan.
Whether when talking to Assin oops Asin while slinging a bag on his left side and mumbling moo, moo, moo as if addressing a puppy, or donning a silly-looking cap and making fake karate moves or yelling You Bloody Hell, Vijay provides enough comedic movements that at this rate Vadivelu and Vivek are bound to face lean times soon. Hell, who needs a separate comedian in a Tamil movie when we have Vijay as a comic hero.
Rocky Balboa Meets Vijay Malgoa
Much as we laughed out loud during the above scenes, it was the sight of Vijay in a casual dress in the middle of the boxing ring and delivering a knock out punch to the other guy that had us jumping on the chair and whistling out loud.
Hey, Rocky Balboa, you’d better watch out. Here comes Vijay Malgoa.
Ha ha ha.
As tears rolled down our cheeks, we laughed and laughed and laughed at Vijay in the boxing ring until we could laugh no more.
The fight scenes and Vijay’s weird positions only added to our comic delight.
In the Vinnai Kappan song scene in front of a temple, we remember seeing Vijay in a blue T-Shirt and even sporting a long, curled tail although we can’t be 100% sure of the tail given our advancing years and our late-night inebriation. 😉
You know, in Tamil Nadu during the annual Kavadi season we have devotees carrying the wooden Kavadi and singing and dancing like mad-men while bystanders often pour buckets of water on them to cool ’em down.
As we watched the Kaavalan trailer, we were tempted to hurl a huge pail of water at the screen to cool down Vijay. The fellow looked so tense as if all his recent flops were weighing down on him.
Paavum (poor fella).
Only with utmost difficulty could we restrain ourselves from flinging the water as we didn’t want to damage our Acer 20-inch LCD monitor!
If the short Kaavalan trailer is so sickeningly bad, just think of the torturous ordeal awaiting Tamil movie fans in the full-length film. 🙁
As they say in America, we feel your pain.

Can u REVIEW NADUNISI NAAYGAL
SearchIndia.com Responds:
No.
We went to the theater in New Jersey on Friday to see Nadunisi Naaygal. But the shows were canceled because this Chutia aka Gautam Menon did not send the f*king prints on time.
Ask the Menon Chutia to send prints to the U.S. on time (as per the announced showtime) if he wants people to see his movies.
We drove 400KM.
400KM, comprende? And they canceled the shows. 🙁
Chutia Menon has no respect for our time and we ain’t got no time for the Chutia now.
Do you know? Our tamil bozos have gone to an all time low by copying from GAMES. Vijay’s upcoming movie Velayutham’s posters are strikingly similar(although stupid) compared to Ubisoft’s Assassin’s Creed (2007).
Take a look

I’ve played the game, and i have a feeling that Velayutham’s plot will also be similar to the game.
SearchIndia.com Responds:
Wonderful. Tamil cinema is indeed making great strides.
When Ulaga Madayans like Kamal Haasan engage in copying, it’s not surprising to see others do it.
There wouldn’t have been so much problem if they at least give credit to the original makers, although it would disgrace the original makers if they see their beautiful work getting transformed into trash. Btw, some Indians are making an all out effort to notify Ubisoft of this theft, by posting about this in Ubisoft and other Assassin’s Creed forums. I wish Ubisoft would sue these thieving scumbags.
SearchIndia.com Responds:
By the time Indian courts decide to act on the lawsuits, 10-years would have passed. 🙁
Yeah, absolutely right. But that will atleast make these thieves think twice or thrice before stealing someone else’s work and passing it off as their own.
Btw, don’t bother watching Engeyum Kadhal. Once again an instance of theft. The original is “Love in the afternoon”. Plus, the word of mouth is that EK sucks big time!

Love in the Afternoon is a delightful movie. Here’s the review:
