Mission: Chapter 1

Extremely good acting by Arun Vijay. He carries the movie throughout. Sure this movie would bring him so much fame. Incredible story and direction. Amy's Tamil sounds too good to listen to. Her action sequences could have been better. It was obvious she was pretending to beat. Baby has also acted so well and is damn cute. They hooked us into the story effortlessly. It's a great theatrical watch, an action packed thriller I wish I watched this sooner. Beautiful location choices at London. The jail sequences, hospital sequences and the bus fight scenes were good. No wonder Lyca has backed this project. This movie deserves an even better success!

I would say this is the best film I have seen in recent times. Everyone has acted very well. I will definitely watch this movie again, it's so great. It's very interesting. It's also a great movie. It's a movie that makes you expect what's next. Definitely this movie is a great movie that you can watch as a family. Everyone come and watch this movie. This movie is a nest level for Arun Vijay sir. This movie is definitely next chapter 2. It will be even more amazing. I am waiting for it. The best movie that came to Pongal in Tamilnadu is the movie Mission. This movie is very good. Many people don't know about this movie. I went and saw it late at the time of its release. I liked it very much. We are very happy to have given such a great film in our Tamil cinema.

'Guna must rescue his daughter from a terminal illness while also protecting his country from terrorists in London' would be a one-line summary of Mission (Chapter 1? Seriously Vijay?).

A mix-match of Thandavam, and many Hari films, we get an 'I have seen it before' kind of film, except the part, where it is mostly shot in London (or Ramoji Film City, who knows). 'Mission' must have solely relied on North Indian or Andhra markets as the scope of the patriotic-action-adventure genre of films has become limited in Tamil Nadu. That being said, it is not a complete waste of a film. Vijay's efforts in story-telling have not gone unnoticed, for there are no musical numbers to interrupt the story with vivid characterization, where supporting characters get to have their spotlight moments - which they spoil with their lack of intelligence but we will come to it later. The stunt is cool, especially with an action sequence with Nimisha at the end of the film that I really enjoyed.

Amy Jackson was a pain to watch on screens, especially her Tamil. Vijay should understand that it is okay to let the actors speak dialogues in their languages and later dub that in Tamil, instead of telling an artificial story where everyone speaks Tamil. Typical cliches of commercial cinema were excruciating to watch, even for my father. Guna fights ten people at a time, Guna falls in the canal but somehow doesn't drown, Guna must always take the spotlight and be the only character with common sense, Guna, a person with a sharp intelligence somehow misses his purse now and then, Guna doesn't see a snitch from miles away but can smell out all the other criminals, and so much more!

A stereotypical Punjabi 'friend' who also speaks Tamil, too many dialogues that are cringe, an unwanted flashback, a weak antagonist who is short of manpower at all times, a stupid child that doesn't live up to its hype, snitches being snitches for about 70% of the film without getting caught - you could list the drawbacks of Mission: Chapter 1 in a complete roll of toilet paper and still you might have some points. In my opinion, Vijay should have trimmed Mission around 90 minutes and the storyline should have been sharp.

To conclude, Mission might be embarrassing to watch for some, and exhausting for many, but it is still a decent attempt. 2.5/5.

An engaging pure crime action thriller,Director Vijay seems to be completely out of his comfort zone in delivering a Real Pongal winner...Even though the plot was predictable There was never a moment that took eyes off the screen...With his long time associate Gv prakash supportive bgm the movie keeps you glued until the end...

No unnecessary songs are added & characters are well placed indeed everyone gave best performance very connected to story with the help of flawless screenplay...

Arun Vijay fits exactly for this role and have been careful in choosing scripts that's getting him yield good results over the past years...No added goosebumps moments is a minor set back to the movie...

The two ladies in the lead Nimisha & Amy Jackson dis apretty decent job in elevating the movie... The film wants to completely ride on its action elements so no tracks had been added for comedy or romanticize & director was crispy enough not to even reveal the heroine face too...

Overall a decent one-time watch that's way better than other Pongal releases.

#MissionChapter1

Engaging Pure Crime Action Drama. Simple story but Good Screenplay. Director AL Vijay came out of his comfort zone and gave his best work. Arun Vijay Sir, well presented his acting. Amy Jackson, Nimisha and Others artists suited perfectly to those characters. They performed well. GV Prakash Bro's BGM kept us connected throughout the film. Stunts choreographed nicely. Everyone's work glows well in terms of technical aspects. Absence of songs and unwanted scenes found plus. Slightly predictable and less twists were some of the things that made to lose the grip of the film. Overall it was a good and decent entertainment to watch along with the family. It looks to be a good franchise. I hope this film does well at the box office in the upcoming days.
