Lal Salaam

Whenever a director has to use voiceover to move the plot forward, it's a sign of poor storytelling. In this movie the director uses voice over to tell us what is happening on screen. Unnecessary symbolism sprinkled in to make it seem like an art film, but it needs a more talented story teller to pull it off. The non-linear story telling doesn't have any suspense either as there are barely any stakes.

Vishnu Vishal and Vikrant are completely wasted. The supporting cast is forgettable. Even Rajinikanth seems to be phoning his performance in.

People who've seen this will have more appreciation for Darbar and Jailer. This movie isn't even worth watching on OTT.

Why well handled narrative?

First of all I appreciate the Director & Producer for their guts to make a project like this. Hope this will make other creators to choose such a challenging concept. Whatever the flaws , the movie is a must watch because : 1. It's a sensitive plot , which is handled very well throughout.

2. To encourage the creators to do more projects like this(which will change many things in this society ) 3. To feel the power of humanity.

4. To believe in unity.

Moreover the main message I got through the movie is " Humanity & peace is greater than all other nonsense religion/cast whatever". As a social animal it's our responsibility to be united & protect the nature.

Collecting crores together doesn't mean it's a good movie , but giving useful messages & information like this to the society make a movie good.

Jai Hind🇮🇳 -With regards GRK.

What a wonderful movie. It is not clear why social media is not talking about this? Wondering.

The story line is going smoothly and neat. Many dialogues are golden for any period.

Beautiful, contemporary movie. My sincere Thanks to Aishwarya Rajnikanth for her direction.

I salute thalaivar Rajnikanth for his sensible appearance. I applaud his acting in this movie. One of the best movies of Thalaivar. Great!!!

Vishnu & Vikranth acted very well.

Casting is superb. Few to mention, Senthil, Thambi ramaiah, Nirosha, Jeevitha, Vivek Prasanna.

It is a good movie to watch with family and friends.

I went into Lal Salaam with high hopes, but the film left me deeply disappointed. While the premise had potential, the execution lacked depth and coherence. The storyline felt disjointed, and the characters failed to make any meaningful impact.

The pacing was uneven, with many scenes dragging unnecessarily, making the film feel much longer than it needed to be. The dialogues, instead of being impactful, came across as bland and uninspired. Even the performances by the lead cast, who are usually dependable, seemed half-hearted and lacked conviction.

Technically, the film had some good visuals and decent music, but they couldn't save the experience from feeling hollow. It's a shame because the themes the movie aimed to explore deserved far better treatment.

Unfortunately, Lal Salaam ends up being an unmemorable and tedious watch. It's hard to recommend this one.

Despite the negative reviews I had to watch this movie, simply because you cant miss a Rajinikanth movie as a Tamil person & I didn't regret it. His role in this movie is a special appearance similar like in the movie Kuselan (2008). I really like this kind of settings for Rajini, where he isn't the main focus. It gives a very different vibe to the movie, which you normally won't get when he plays the main role.

The movie itself has its moments of weakness, especially in the first half. But in overall it is well written and thoughtful presented. Also the whole cast did a phenomenal job portraying the characters.

Definitly not as bad as all those negative reviews suggest. Watch it & make your own conclusion!
