Bigil

It is third time lucky for us, the viewers, in case of this Vijay-Atlee combo.

Director Atlee presents a decent entertainer which mines the charisma of the star to a large extent.

Bigil also benefits from the fact that the entire movie and the semblance of a story is not entirely buried under the build-up for the star.

In Bigil, Atlee places his star Vijay shining bright at the center of the universe with the plot itself and the subplots merrily orbiting him as minor satellites.

Rahman delivers a rousing anthem and a good score. There is nothing - including the music or performances - that could be counted as superlative in any sense. Still, the entire movie works and doesn't feel like a tedium despite having a runtime of almost three hours.

The fact that this movie remains largely coherent on a whole does not make you cringe despite its runtime is no minor blessing.

Worst Movie in Recent Times in Tamil Cinema. Too Much Lags and Dull Scenes are the drawbacks of the movie. Atlee's worst ever attempt and lengthy duration testing audience patience. Emotional Scenes are well connected.

Really hard to say the how much intensively emotions hard to me. The concept that purely succeeded the direction "entertainment". Considering that it's surely a guaranteed flick to start to the intermission, after the turns are gone to some serious incidents but the factor "entertainment" keeps well and to fixed the film tuned a mega visual amaze with the extraordinary star Thalapathy Vijay. Surely you can watch it for Thalapathy Vijay and grand direction of atlee. It's usual but something are really workout because the fair presentation.

Bigil - a movie that you expect to see on a Deepavali weekend, which took the usual social message formula pretty seriously. Not only that, the execution got the right emotions from almost everyone. There are tons of things that could've been done better - draggy screenplay, father-son interactions, romantic portion etc. and yet, the film still works out. Reason - Thalapathy letting his girls to do the job!

The latter half was dominated by the girls, which actually made the film happening, apart from the comic relief by Yogi and Vivek. ARR delivered one of the finest BGM for a non-Maniratnam movie, after a long time

The way this man carries the movie, Thalapathy Vijay is surely in his pinnacle of his career.

Witnessing a man making mockery of how unbearable the movie was, and yet staying through till the end credits, summarises the result!

Bottomline - a fantasy commercial film backed up by high production value.

Go for it. Have fun. But, don't forget to switch off your critic sense, especially if you are a football fanatic.

First watch: Watching it FDFS and the first hour of the movie got so boring that I concentrated only on eating the snacks, especially the romance part was an utter waste, then after Rayappan's entry, Vijay's performance made us not to even blink our eye, it was an awesome performance. There were about tens of messages unrelated to the content as it was a sports-based movie and the gameplay was very much poor that it looked nearly like a video game and not like a stadium match. The introduction was fantastic, Vijay's performance was top-notch but overall on a macroscopic level, it was not a satisfying movie.

Second watch: As I knew that the romance portions were not worth watching, I simply ignored it and only by this time, I did realize that only until Rayappan's entry the movie was bad and after that it went really well and the fact that I didn't get bored during the 2nd watch itself is a good one for any movie.
