Kadaisi Vivasayi is a film written, directed, and shot by M Manikandan. It has Nallandi and Vijay Sethupathi in the lead roles while Rebecca Rachel, Yogi Babu and other untrained actors from the village play crucial suppo rting roles. The film is produced under the banners 7C’s Entertainment, Vijay Sethupathi Productions, and Tribal Arts. The music is composed by Santhosh Narayanan and Richard Harvey.
Nallandi plays the role of Maayandi, who is the only farmer in his village. A tree gets burnt to ashes due to a ligh tning strike, which the villagers think is because they haven’t had a ‘Thiruvizha’ in their village for a long time. So the only farmer in the village has to grow grains as an offering to the deity. During the process he faces a lot of st ruggles, and how he finishes the task is the core plot of the film.

Movie Review-;
Manikandan’s Kaaka Muttai, Kuttrame Thandanai and Aandavan Kattalai are great examples of realistic portra yal of people belonging to different walks of life. What makes them relevant forever is the unpredictable nature of the characters and screenplay, apart from the placement of humour in seemingly serious sequences. Mayandi (Nallandi), the village’s solitary farmer, is asked by his residents to produce grains on his farmland as a sacrifice to their deity. Mayandi agrees and starts the procedure.
However, things do not go as planned. Mayandi is wrong ly accused of a crime, and the police file a case against him, making it difficult for him to continue farmin g. The plot revolves around what happened to the last rem aining farmer. The purposeful evading of exaggerated melo drama in situations where you expect regular tear jerking moments is another positive factor the director ens ures in his films. Kadaisi Vivasayi, which has been lying in the cans for some time, is no different. Manikandan, the filmmaker, puts forth a valiant effort in Kadaisi Vivasayi, and he ensures that the film remains as authentic as possible.
The title card depicts the formation of the village and its landscape, which is nicely accompanied with a devotion al Murugan song, and you know that Kadaisi Vivasayi is a film that has been done without sacrifice. The writing is clean, and the scenes are well-crafted. The premise dealing with farmer’s troubles has been pounded to death in tamil cinema, but in Kadaisi Vivasayi, we never see a single theatrical sequence to force-fit the emotions.Stayi ng true to the film’s title, Maayandi (Nallandi), its protagonist, is the only farmer who still pursues farming in his village in the traditional manner with utmost love and respect for it.
The 82-year-old, who lives alone in his small home without electricity, leads a care-free life and is least con cer ned about money. Mayandi never asks for help, even when he is in serious difficulty, because he feels he hasn’t done anything wrong and is following his consc ience. Raichal Rebecca is convincing as the judge, while some of Kaalai Pandiyan’s histrionics leaves us in splits. Kaali Muthu and Chaplin Sundar are other characters who keep us engaged with their raw and enjoyable perf ormances.
One might wonder what the director had in mind while writing the characters of Vijay Sethupathi and Yogi Babu that appear as cameos. Though the two of them are the only familiar faces in the film, they are presented as mer e two characters in the village with unique characteristics. Nallandi single-handedly carries the film on his shoul ders with his subtle reactions and innocence. Some of the sequences featuring his rational dialogues are thou gh t-provoking and leaves us in splits. His genuine reactions and doubts while replying to the district court judge after being accused of killing peacocks is a scream.
The climax scene where the cops and the judge misinterpret his long, tiring sleep is another example of the dire ctor’s knack in making a casual scene appear extraordin ary.T he realistic depiction of farmers’ plight without res orting to melodrama and over the top performances is the prime highlight of Kadaisi Vivasayi. Nallandi’s char ac terization and his reactions to the situations that happen around him is a treat to watch. Making the viewers eng aged for 150 minutes with flawless performances from newbies is not an easy task to pull off.
When the film could have ended on a melancholy note, Manikandan chooses to conclude it on a happy note, an d here are some of the scenes when you can see that his purpose is not to make you feel sorry for the farmers, bu t to greet them with love. The movie also deals with spirituality and devotion, and the moments depicting the se themes are powerful, particularly the scene in which vijay sethupathi visits a saint; keep an eye out for that. His son Ramayya (Vijay Sethupathi), a gypsy who visits him once in a while, is his only living relative. The villagers there have been planning to conduct a festival to appease their powerful deity so as to protect them from natur al calamities.
One day, Maayandi buries three peacocks which were found dead in his farm land. But little did he know that he would land in a legal soup because of it. The dejected villagers who are expecting Maayandi to gro w grains for the festival go to the court to get more details on the proceedings. Though Maayandi is innocent, he has no evid ences to prove his honesty. Will the court set him free? Kadaisi Vivasayi has the feel and treat ment of an art-ho use film, but Manikandan injects enough of humour to appeal to a wider audience.
One of the film’s flaws is its sluggish pacing. The film takes its sweet time getting into the tale, and the drama unf olds slowly as well. With a little time, you’ll be able to adapt to the film’s mood and enjoy a stunning work of fil mmaking.The octogenarian goes to police station along with a police constable after the latter asks him to follow the legal procedures with regard to killing peacocks. Maayandi, who suffers from hearing impairment, is brought before the district judge. The latter puts the former in remand for a few weeks.
