ETimes verdict The Vijay Sethupathi and Nithya Menen starrer opened up positive reviews from the audiences. ETimes rated the film with a solid 4 stars out of 5 and a an excerpt from our review reads, "Amidst all the noise and gags, though, Thalaivan Thalaivi finds moments of quiet, moving emotions. In one scene, Aagasam, tired of all the fights, breaks down in front of his father. In another, a mother posts a WhatsApp status of her child, hoping her estranged husband sees it. When someone sees the family fight for a whole day, they say, 'Inum ivanga mudikalaya,' and you feel that too. However, Thalaivan Thalaivi becomes one of the very few Tamil films that dig into the life after marriage, something after the beginning of the seemingly 'Happily ever after,' and Pandiraj has crafted a fun, frustrating family padam." The film is expected to mint more numbers in the coming days.
