लाल सलाम

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.

Lal Salaam: a great film with a very important social message. I don't know why people are giving such bad reviews about this film.

Pros: Very engaging screenplay, Rajinikanth's character was well written, great performance by Vishnu, Vikranth and Thambi Ramaiah. BGM and songs were good Cons: Cinematography could've been better, Fight scenes could've been better.

I'm so happy that Rajnikanth took this role because the impact was so special when Rajnikanth spoke about "humanity is above religion" It is important to remember that we are all ONE, we're aren't supposed to be separated by Religion/Caste.

Jai Hind

Overall: 7/10.

I don't know why this film received such low ratings. After a long time, I saw a film that delivers a positive message to society. Not only in India, but even in Sri Lanka, politicians spread racism and religious extremism to gain power until recently. We were divided. However, when our country faced hard times, we realized that we are all Sri Lankans. Our country had a 30-year war. Whether people in India believe it or not, it wasn't only Sinhalese people who destroyed terrorists; Tamil people were also destroyed. Even during such a war, we lived in harmony in the South. Now, there's even more unity among Hindu, Buddhist, Muslim, and Catholic people in our country. We will no longer be divided by politicians. I think the people of India should understand that too. I would love for people all over the world to look at each other as human beings and live in harmony. This is truly a good film. After a long time, even Rajinikanth has chosen a character suitable for his age.

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!
