Happened to watch a preview of #Thalaivii at AGS. Good movie with solid starcast.1st half was fast,engaging, dropped a bit in second half.Aravind Swamy was amazing as usual and #KanganaRanaut played effortlessly the role of Jaya. Better version than other TV series based on Jaya pic.twitter.com/zioMP2YcKu

I’m not saying this because Vijay is a brother to me, but, #Thalaivii is amongst the most sensitive, and sensible biopics I’ve seen.

The love between MGR and Jaya is pure, raw, honest, and yet, human.

Rarely do we see the human side of actors and politicians.

A must-watch.
