Featured reviews
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.
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.

- 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!
