Thalaivaa (2013)
Thalaivaa is streaming in Singapore on Sun Nxt.
The verdict
Thalaivaa is a middling Tamil film — fine for a one-time watch but unlikely to stay with you. It carries a 5.5/10 on TMDB across 56 ratings — under the line most people draw. At 182 minutes, it asks for a real chunk of your night. In Singapore you can stream it on Sun Nxt.
Should you spend 3h 2m on it?
3h 2m of Tamil action with a drama streak. At this length it's the whole evening's plan, not something to slot in after dinner.
Don't watch this if…
- you want a number you can lean on. This one is still settling
- you're short on time. At 3h 2m it wants the whole night
- Why
- At 5.5/10 from 56 ratings, audiences are split; the genre fit matters more than the score here.
- Skip if
- you want something you can finish before a reasonable bedtime
- Best for
- A night with nothing after it
Story
A mafia don sends his son out of the country because he doesn't want even a shadow of his life falling on him. Destiny wills otherwise. The son makes an innocuous trip to Mumbai to visit his dad. And ends up filling his father's large shoes.
