After charming the audience with their performance in 19(1)(a), Vijay Sethupathi and Nithya Menen are back on screen together with the Tamil-language film, Thalaivan Thalaivii. This rom-com and family drama film, directed by Pandiraj, got released on July 25, 2025. With Vijay and Nithya shining with both their epic comic timing and heartfelt emotional scenes, their chemistry works really well on screen. However, some aspects of the film feel lacklustre and repetitive.
Synopsis of Thalaivan Thalaivii
In the film, Vijay Sethupathi portrays the character of ‘Agasaveeran’, a small-time businessman who runs a tiffin centre alongside his family. He gets married to ‘Perarasi a.k.a Arasi’, played by Nithya Menen. They start their marital life smoothly, but soon there’s some trouble in paradise. The newlyweds start sparring over trivial and strange matters. As a result, they separate from each other for three months and apply for a divorce. Their fights also expand to their families, and everyone gets involved.
