Vijay Sethupathi- Nithya Menen Shine In ‘Thalaivan Thalaivii’: Audiences Call It a Rugged, Relatable Ride

Thalaivan Thalaivii, the much-anticipated romantic action comedy directed by Pandiraj, has finally hit the big screens, and social media is already lighting up with first reactions. Starring Vijay Sethupathi in his milestone 51st lead role alongside the ever-versatile Nithya Menen, the film released on 25 July 2025.

Now, let’s take a look at what social media is saying.

One X user commented that the storyline was already clear from the trailer. “I don’t want to start with the plot—if you’ve watched the trailer, you’ll get it. I can’t even call it just a husband-wife quarrel, because the whole film is about them fighting over unnecessary reasons,” they wrote.

The viewer admitted going in with expectations of light-hearted entertainment. “I laughed a few times, sure, but I wasn’t fully entertained,” they added. While they praised the film’s background score and occasional comic one-liners, the repetitive narrative and constant arguments between the lead pair seemed to weigh the film down. “As an audience, I wanted to understand the reason behind all the conflict. I sat clueless in front of the screen, wondering why they were even fighting. It really tested my patience at times.”

On the performance front, the user said they were surprised by the lead actors. “I thought Nithya Menen would outshine Vijay Sethupathi—but no, he’s the standout here. In the emotional scenes, especially when he surrenders to his wife, he holds his ground and commands the screen.”


Another moviegoer wrote: “Visited Rohini for the first time to watch Thalaivan Thalaivi. Enjoyed the film. VJS and Nithya Menen’s chemistry at its peak. VJS stole the show. Yogi Babu, Chemban Vinod, and the star cast gave fun performances. They delivered exactly what they promised in the trailer.”

An X user has described Thalaivan Thalaivii as a rugged love story that leans into emotional volatility rather than romantic sweetness, pointing out how the film’s strength lies in its performances, especially Vijay Sethupathi, who is being hailed as the emotional anchor, and Nithya Menen, who adds weight with her nuanced expressions.


Another film enthusiast wrote: “The VJS we all wanted is back! The movie begins with a conflict between VJS & Nithya Menen, then turns into a complete comedy entertainer. Though there are a few lags in the second half, the climax works well. A Complete Family Entertainer.”
