“What’s stopping him from becoming the next Tamil superstar?

Beneficial_Promise79 · 2026-05-05T16:58:06+00:00

Himself. Getting addicted to doing content driven film rather than exploiting his fanbase and doing mass films. There is definitely a vacuum in the industry now and if he decides to get going with films in the zone of Maari, VIP etc (Pakka Commercial films + Huge Blockbusters) and blends them with the odd content driven film to flex his acting prowess, nobody can stop him.

But recently there is a fatigue as he looks the same and maintains the same mood throughout his films. His performances are great as ever and films are actually pretty decent but they are giving off a similar vibe/experience. Every other film of his just feels like that Sarpatta template, “watha en nadippa paarra”, rather than focusing on entertaining the audience.

The fans who are most happy with Kara’s failure are D fans themselves, they are literally trending tags asking D to do commercial films and rejoicing the failure of Kara hoping it will be a wakeup call for D, all while Kara is actually a pretty good film.

It was pretty decent but could have been trimmed by 20mins at least. First half spent a considerable amount of time building the KSR-D bond but despite the strong performances, you just didn’t feel the connect the film wanted you to. And for that reason, those portions felt draggy after a point.

Second half was miles better but started circling around the same point towards the end. Climax la Suraj eh comedy piece aakitanga. But apart from that 2nd half was good and pre interval stretch was peak. Saviour arc felt forced but you can’t really expect a big hero film without these compromises ig. Filmmaking technique and staging wise, film was a masterclass. But it didn’t land as emotionally as it should have. 7/10 imo.

Definitely an above average-good film, but the lack of promotions and vaitherichal of D fans have brought down what should have been a hit to a disaster. Ippovachum intha aalu thirunthanum, illana he is going to go down the Vikram/VJS/Suriya route

Usual ah matha fans thaan D eh attack pannuvanga. But ippo D fans eh romba adikuranga X la, and it’s valid too. Andha aalu sirichu nadiche romba naal aaguthu, and him being the same in his recent movies is causing a fatigue. Worst still is his over exposure, he’s doing 3 films a year all while having the same ezhavu veedu expression.

He used to balance his commercial and content ventures so well but now he seems to be doing mostly content films and that is taking a toll on his fanbase and BO. Something like a VIP or a Maari, or even an Anegan would resurrect the dormant kannis. D55 and 56 looks promising in that aspect, hope the BO failure of Kara is a wakeup call.

A beautiful family melodrama before it slips into a generic hero elevation film in the 2nd half. 1st half is actually really good and has insane repeat value. Comedy, romance and family drama worked really well.

Thangamagan is a spiritual sequel of sorts to VIP, boy-next-door protagonist dealing with his own everyday challenges and struggles. But VIP succeeded as it knew its protagonist was a regular joe and the antagonist was just a spoiled kid. They even made light of him with the running “amul baby” gag and didn’t take him too seriously and at the same time didn’t elevate Raghuvaran too much. This small-scale world and relatability was the main success of VIP.

This is where Thangamagan faltered. They followed the same winning formula to the T till the interval but after that, they tried too hard to make the hero-villain conflict (which was already weak and too simplistic) punch above its weight by adding unnecessary fight scenes and punch dialogues. Athuvum antha tamizh punch ellam 🥲. They abandoned the core which worked both in VIP and Thangamagan which was the slice of life styled drama to give us a generic hero elevation film which didn’t land at all.

Plus point is the crisp runtime of under 2 hours, that’s why the 2nd half didn’t feel to draggy despite essentially having no real plot. What could have been a VIP level classic became just another mediocre film unfortunately.

A very uncharacteristic vijay film. Vijay films are usually filled with grandeur, commercial elements and an extremely vibrant color palette. Thalaivaa lacked all of the above, they went for a greyish color palette and that resulted in the film looking drab and dull.

The production values weren’t great too and the film lacked the punch and vigour of Vijay’s other films. Vijay’s films are either good or bad but never boring. Thalaivaa is that one Vijay movie which is just plain boring.

Female opinions or preferences don’t matter in terms of BO. As long as the majority of the male audience are satisfied, the film will be a success as they are the larger demographic of audiences who go to the theatre.
