    Pure Commercial,less logic

    "Sarkar" from Vijay made the expectations high. But this film will not bore you but neither impress you. The Football scenes has less gameplay reality more cinematic shots. The real lover of the game will feel annoyed. This 3 hours film is old revenge story with a cover of Football.

    A DECENT ENTERTAINER !

    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 THAN EXPECTED

    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.

    Commercial fantasy with a serious message

    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.

    If you looking for a complete entertainer, Go and Watch

    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.

    • Quotes

      Michael Rayappan (Bigil): When you played only for yourself, you couldn't do it. But when you played for the team, you were able to do it. That is the team spirit you idiot! Don't play for the name on the back of your t-shirt! Play for the homeland etched in your heart. Every goal you score is not your individual glory but your team's effort. Goal of your audience who is supporting you and goal of your state!
