First half - 2.5/2.5, second half - 0/2.5. Overall score - 2.5/5.
The director set up a nice and thrilling plotline by the interval only to ruin it in the second half.
Illogical, over the top actions are not good substitutes for an engaging story line. The second half proved the same. Ajith single handedly fights against 4 military helicopters and 20+ navy boats. In the process, takes 10+ bullets and then smiles. Our leading Tamil heroes are still doing the 80s and 90s nonsense, while the rest of the South Indian cinema is marching forward.
Valimai and Beast are much better than this movie, which had a lot of potential, only to be wasted in the second half. If Ajith and Vijay keeps doing movies like this, it would be difficult for our Tamil cinema to move forward.
