Wllcome back Vikram sir after 6years.the great double role player :)
Movie was really good.after a long time vikram sir get on his old character like 'anniyan'.
Vikram sir was really really perfect at mathi and kathir role. He gives his best to it.love all the music from it.
But the last 45minute was really booaring and the spilt of two brother plot was too booring.the vfx team doesn't gives their best.
There are also some confusing plot in many seens.i think the screenplays was can't fullfill the original storyline.
Afterall the movie was good.wanna time pass for 3hour?then you can watch it.

Fresh out of Ajay Gnanamuthu's Cobra, and it honestly feels like I watched 2 entirely different movies pre and post interval. We start off with a somewhat underworld assassin crime thriller of sorts, which while over the top at moments, had its fair share of enjoyable bites. And then with the interval, we have what feels like an entirely new movie; one that feels like every other wannabe-posh Tamil action movie, where some characters already established in the first half start acting nothing like it in the second, and some more being entirely sidelined making us wonder why they were even included in the first place.
I wouldn't say Cobra is a bad movie, nor that its not enjoyable, but it's not groundbreaking in any way. It just gets ridiculously over the top with every passing minute, building up to a mind numbingly lazy and disappointing climax. Technically too this movie has a lot of weaknesses. The music is very easily forgettable, which sad given how such a statement could even be said about an ARR composed soundtrack. The VFX was painfully apparent in some scene. The makeup got somewhat cheesy, never leaving the uncanny valley; where you know you're not looking at an actual human face, but a heavily pasted prosthetic. And even certain shot selections seemed questionable.
Being as critical as I am about this movie is only because I engaged with it enough to care about its own internal consistencies. It's certainly not a movie you'll ever regret watching in a theatre, but it's not one you'll miss out on if you don't either.

Movie starts very well and the first half was interesting for me and has hidden story line not revealed fully. Both hit songs utilised in the first half and it helped very much for the movie flow. After the interval, the hidden story lines are revealed one by one till the climax.
The biggest problem is the second half is so confusing and abrupt climax. There is not much scope for entertainment, just movie goes in its flow and ends... Vikram was outstanding in first half and looked tired in the second half.
Movie is not bad, definitely one time watchable. ARR marks his presence in songs and in action blocks....

The story and screenplay of the movie are pretty good. There are some entertaining scenes in the movie. There are also some boring scenes. Vikram's variety of looks in the movie and his swag were simply amazing. The biggest negative aspect of the film is the length of the movie. The length of the movie is so long that watching the movie will pass a lot of time as well as be boring. The work of the movie editor is very bad. A minimum of 10 to 20 minutes of scenes could have been cut from the movie. These scenes are unnecessary. Vikram and all the actors in the movie have performed well. Background score is good. Director's direction is bad. There are some illogical and unrealistic scenes in the movie. So the director has to work more with his direction. Must be more experienced. There is no adult scene in the movie. Family movie. But if the length of the movie could be reduced a little then the movie would have been better. After watching such a long movie, finally, this movie is nothing but a waste of time.
Firstly there is no Built in English subtitles so it's impossible to understand foreign fan like us. Secondly they forcefully inserted tamil language in the English dialogues. They've made a great mistake by not adding the sub , I admit the story is good but the makers should think about the non tamil region .Also forcefully inserted Tamil is so disgusting. Hence, it's my humble request that the English subtitled version should be Released as soon as possible so that we, the foreign viewers enjoy the masterpiece of Vikram sir . We'll be very thankful to the director and all the people who were attached with this film.
