Kavalan , remake of the Malayalam film Bodyguard, brings together the successful duo of Vijay and Siddique once again.Kavalan is an emotionally narrated love story about a righteous and innocent man who is assigned the task of being a young woman’s bodyguard.What makes the film tick is that Vijay with the help of director Siddique has done something different within the constraints of the formula.Kavalan is a throwback to the Thulladha Manamum Thullum days of Vijay and we hope the days are here to stay. He has lived the character.One of the main drawback of the film is the famous Asin-Vijay chemistry that has failed to work on screen. Asin is not up to the mark of Gajini or Sivakasi. Better Nayanthara should have done the same character she did it in Malayalam.Vadivelu evokes smiles and the occasional laugh in the film.Vidhyasagar has scored the music and two songs are good. Yaarathu and Step step song is good to hear.
Final Verdict-A relatable love story shot in a cute and simple manner, rich with emotions, but on the slow side of narration.There is nothing special, but nothing to grumble about either.
