of her captivating looks, only to be shooed away by her. He then gets caught in a situation and uses it to somehow impress his lady love and becomes a boxer out of nowhere which is catalyzed by an emotional flashback.
Will Jai succeed in winning over Andrea? Will he survive against his opponents forms the rest of the story. Sounds cliched? Well that's Valiyavan for you. Performances: Jai and Andrea are the only saving grace not only in this department but throughout the movie. It is also refreshing to see Andrea
in a prominent role with more screen space which is a rarity in Kollywood. Technicalities: From the narration and screenplay point of view, Valiyavan is an absolute disaster from a director who was hailed for
his intriguing screenplay in his very first movie, Engaeyum Eppothum. M Saravanan has baffled everyone with his poor execution and weak writing. For a movie which is just over 2 hours, most of the sequences will make you yawn thanks to the not so impressive editing by Subarak. Imman's songs
are nowhere close to his usual best but he scores with an imposing background music which elevates the overall experience in a good way. Cinematographer Dinesh Krishnan plays the second redeemer after
Imman for Valiyavan, which otherwise is not a technically good film. Overall View: With cliched comedy tracks, unwanted romantic duets and a over dramatized flashback, Valiyavan is saved by its climax without which it would've turned into a 70 mm sleeping pill.
Jai The film commenced shoot from May 2014 after SK Studios announced that they would produce a film with Jai in the lead, directed by M Saravanan.
Andrea Andrea has done a wonderful job in the film. Her captivating looks and subtle expressions have added strength to Valiyavan.
