Just watched the movie on Netflix. What z horrible movie. So painful watching the film — I just couldn't wait for the movie to end. The film was mostly senseless action. No meaningful dialogue. Weak storyline. Poor acting. Vijay looked clueless, lazy and dull. Another unbearable aspect is the background music by Anirudh. It's ear-jarring. Anirudh is over-rated. He delivers mediocre music — it's usually maddening noise. The funny thing is that the movie is about terrorists hijacking a shopping mall. It's a scary thing but every actor looks so indifferent, emotionally blank, and staid as if they were taking a stroll in the park. Extremely disappointed.

The movie meandered aimlessly at the beginning. Vijay Sethupathi's role seemed more impactful than Vijay's as the latter appeared 'irrelevant'. To portray Vijay as a careless drunkard but being 'inspirational' to students is ambiguous and poorly conceived. The background music is horrible: it's pure "noise". It's hard to believe that Anirudh is so hyped up for his music has always been ordinary. He is light-years away from Ilaiyaraja, Deva, A R Rahman, or for that matter S A Rajkumar, Bhardwaj and Chandrabose. Anirudh is just noise, noise and just noise. Overall, you can watch this movie if you're a Vijay fan. The movie doesn't live up to its hype. It's an ordinary film. The acting, in general, is not persuasive either - this is probably because of the disjointed storyline.
