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.

The movie in the first half feels very dragged but in second half they give you the story, that time it grabs your attention.
Coming to the first half, the main mistake I felt was right after the hero entry with an intense build, we get to see his girlfriend and then cut to song. I felt that breaks the attention that was getting built up for audience. The other mistake is having many fight scenes in the first half just to extend movie time.
In second half, we get to see story, but one mistake was when they go back to past, I feel they should have written "few months back" because it was a sudden jump, and it was confusing. But they do show "today" after the past scene is over.
Overall movie - was fine, not a great story. Acting wise everyone did a great job. Seeing Rajnikanth sir first time as a Muslim person was absolute joy. He did full justice to his role. The hero and supporting actors everyone did a great job. Cinematography was also really good with some scenes focused on the village (and more, I don't want to give spoilers) Definitely, one time watch for the actors' beautiful performance.

I went into Lal Salaam with high hopes, but the film left me deeply disappointed. While the premise had potential, the execution lacked depth and coherence. The storyline felt disjointed, and the characters failed to make any meaningful impact.
The pacing was uneven, with many scenes dragging unnecessarily, making the film feel much longer than it needed to be. The dialogues, instead of being impactful, came across as bland and uninspired. Even the performances by the lead cast, who are usually dependable, seemed half-hearted and lacked conviction.
Technically, the film had some good visuals and decent music, but they couldn't save the experience from feeling hollow. It's a shame because the themes the movie aimed to explore deserved far better treatment.
Unfortunately, Lal Salaam ends up being an unmemorable and tedious watch. It's hard to recommend this one.

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!
