Why did you come back, Indian?
Never thought it would be torture to sit through a Shankar movie, but it has happened. Probably his weakest, sorry, cringeworthy movie.
Right from the start, the story wanders here and there, as if Shankar's trying too hard to be modern and Pan-Indian. Script wise, Senapathy's character is irrelevant and unwanted, but what's more bad is the direction, the manner in which hero kills the wrongdoers scream cringe and outdated, executed terribly on the screen.
Don't know how he has okayed, but the getups of Kamal Hassan looked goofy, feast for trollers, nothing to write acting as well. Siddharth tried hard as the second lead, but the writing offered him nothing, except for one emotional scene. Simha's character was laughable, Rakul hardly shows up on the screen, and it's a bad sendoff to legends like Vivek and Nedumudi Venu.
Cinematography by Ravi Varman is superb, but bad writing and editing by Sreekar Prasad runis that. Anirudh's work is disastrous, both album and score, not even 0.00001% of what ARR did in the first part, production values were good.
Shankar still hasn't come up in terms with modern day filmmaking, looks lost of ideas, even the grandeur in his direction looks outdated as well. High time he updates himself or else, Shankar the great director will be a thing of the past.
