Summing up this film with what Nassar’s character said at the start of the film Jigarthanda (same director) : “Kupppa Padam”. Karthik Subbaraj’s downfall from making good films like Jigarthanda, Soodhu Kavum, Mahan and much more to laughably bad tryhard activist movies that clearly don’t match his style (as displayed by this abomination) has to be studied carefully. Please don’t watch this nonsense if you value your time.

My man wrote the script of this film and realised that it’s very generic, and so dressed it up to be as controversial and edgy as possible to make it appeal to attention deprived college kids. And it has worked beautifully just like it did with his other joke Arjun Reddy. Just look at all the reviews raving about it. It is just okay at most parts or just boring.

Every year, there seems to be a need for the Tamil film industry to make a completely irrelevant movie on a sensitive and VERY OLD topic. I just have one question for our totally (not) nepotistic director, IS THERE ANY PLACE IN TN WHERE THERE’S A LARGE SCALE RELIGIOUS CONFLICT? No. Then why make such a film and stir sour feelings into people’s minds. (I’m stressing the words large scale). Why dig up our past conflicts that are the result of the imperial government rule and pollute young minds? Why put hay on the fire that has mostly settled (at least in TN where this film is based)? One small but controversial statement, release this film in places where there’s actual conflict like in some parts in the North if you actually wanted to make a “message film”.This reminds me of people complaining about stuff online and being useless in real life. This joke of a movie and a huge list of “critically acclaimed” film are doing the opposite of spreading awareness, they are planting the seeds of caste and religious hatred in the minds of kids watching them. Peak hypocrisy in action.

They tried to dump the whole book into the movie unlike the first part which was simple and enjoyable. What is left is a long and overdramatic movie which some people , especially the ones who've read the Original book will find it long and boring.

Magical game with a golden storyline
