Bigil

First of all, Atlee has stuck with his usual winning formula for this film also, a different film but the same format, but there is nothing wrong with that as long as it seems fresh. He wins again in that aspect. The movie touches upon some important social issues and stigmas and managed to capture the emotions regarding those. The first half is a feast for the fans. The backstory of Bigil and Rayappan had been played well by Vijay. Sometimes you doubt that it is being played by a single actor, it was that perfect. The sentiments around the father son relationship has been executed and captured perfectly. The first half is filled with mass and class scenes with superb dialogues that you expect from a Vijay movie. The second half is where the emotions kicks in. This half of the movie will definitely fill all women audience with a sense of pride. With the female anthem 'singapenney' adding to the already grand visual treat. The VFX in the football matches were pretty bad in the beginning but it really stepped up in the second half. The rich storyline had definitely taken a toll on the movie by increasing the duration. Some of the football matches scenes could have been trimmed. The direction and screenplay was upto the mark. The cast was perfect. Nayantara deserves a special mention along with the football team. They played an exceptional role in the emotional aspect of the movie. The story is good, the message it seems well and good. The music direction was awesome. Another movie that adds to the winning streak of the actor and director combo. Overall a good movie.

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.

First half with mass scenes & Rayappan character. Second half highly emotional which connect all the ladies and their dreams.. Worth to watch

To begin with I'm not Ajith fan. So, this review is not biased. The first half is completely mindless comedies including nayanthara's love parts. Second half, the background story of the girls are awesome and good. In particular, the acid victim part was really touching. The way how the girl forgives the perpetrator. Other than that, all the scenes are copied from 1000 other movies in Tamil cinema and also from other languages. Obviously, this is Atlee movie, you can't expect a fresh script. Like all his previous movies, this is also a complete copy. It's high time he should change this or else he will end up just like Perarasu (Director of Thirupachi/ Sivagasi).

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.
