Beast

Really disappointed, everything seems to be okay but the problem is, Why did Vijay choose this movie.

Vijay gotta be more serious about selecting scripts, how can such a big star choose an unrealistic film.

Despite good comedy elements, this film has nothing to talk about.

I'm ashamed, this film was suppose to represent Tamil cinema!!!

A cliched, Vijay version of Die Hard with some inspiration from Money Heist set in a nonsensical comical world where the protagonist and everything he does, doesn't fit into. It seems that the director has his way of creating his world of characters who can be smart and dumb at the same time. But being a Vijay movie, the star only has a few ways that could be acceptable to his fans. On top of that action scenes which are just enough to take you out of the immersion and feel weird and the placement of songs like it was 15 years ago make it hard all around for this movie. There is a lot of stuff in the movie that could have just worked if they tweaked it a little bit. It's still a one time watch for fans of these types of action films.

The story may lack novelty, but the treatment offers a slight freshness.

However, the screenplay fails to captivate, lacking the necessary intrigue.

While some comedy scenes hit the mark, others fall flat.

The action sequences prove to be highlights, delivering excitement and entertainment.

On the other hand, certain serious scenes come across as silly, failing to create the intended impact.

Vijay delivers a stellar performance, showcasing his talent and skill.

As for Pooja, well, you know..

The songs and background music are noteworthy, adding to the overall experience.

The cinematography and production design are decent, contributing to the visual appeal of the film.

A special mention goes to the editing, which is executed with great skill.

While this may not be considered an outstanding movie, it can serve as a casual weekend pastime.

Positive : Vijay - screen presence Stunts Bgm Few Mass scenes Dark comedy few worked well

Negative : Weak story Illogical Most of the comedies not worked well.

As anticipated, Nelson succumbs to the star tropes of Thalapathy Vijay, failing to come up with a script that'd even keep viewers mildly interested. In fact, the opening act is the only decent stretch in the entire film. Everything from PTSD therapy to terrorism to women's looks is shamed to the core. The mass elevations are zilch, and Veeraraghavan's awkward stiffness doesn't work here at all. It's like Nelson literally planted Vijay in a Doctor-like universe where everything including a hostage situation is treated too lightly, terrorists act like caricatures, there's a buffoon for a home minister, and the supposed humour doesn't function one bit. The writing lazily imagines Vijay shooting and stabbing his way through dozens of baddies for nearly three hours, with an uber-cute Pooja Hedge hot on his trail for no legitimate reason whatsoever. Anirudh delivers on the musical front, but in a film where nothing really sticks, it'll hardly be remembered. Nelson needs to rework his formula that worked pretty well in his first two films - the secret sauce (dark comedy + hilarious supporting acts) is terribly lacking in Beast. And oh, that dreadful climactic stretch.. nail in the coffin!
