The second half of the movie then revolves around the story line as to how Vijay deals with the police and rivalry gangs amidst politicians creating racial violence for their own political expediency. Caught in the middle of a gang-war and politics Sathyaraj is killed and Vijay instead of returning to Australia stays back to revenge his father’s killers and to fill the leadership-for-the people role vacated by his Don father. Some turn of events brings Vijay to Mumbai and only then he realises the life-style of his father and the problems faced by him.
Not wanting his son Vijay to be embroiled in the on-going gang-war, Sathyaraj sends him with his friend Nasser to Australia where Vijay grows up as a businessman with a passion for dance. Sathyaraj’s adversaries make an attempt to kill him but his wife sacrifices her life in the process. Violence breaks out among rivalry gangs to conquer the underworld and in the process, Sathyaraj, introduced as Ramadurai, a labourer from Tamil Naadu town Thirunelveli, is accepted by people as their new leader. The movie opens in the year 1988 in Mumbai with the death of one so called Tamil underworld Don named Vetha. ‘Thalaiva’ deals with the same issues happening in the city of Mumbai which had been shown in several Tamil movies such as gangsterism, racial and religious tensions, political intervention in police matters etc. The movie is yet to be released in Tamil Naadu due to security reasons but was released today worldwide including Malaysia.
August 9 – “Thalaiva”, Vijay’s latest movie with the tagline ‘time to lead’ directed by AL.Vijay fails to impress the audience as much as his earlier movie ‘Thuppakki” because the story and scenes are broad daylight plagiarism from screenplays of acclaimed movies ‘Nayagan’ and ‘Thevar Magan’.
