Coolie stand outs - Soubin Shahir (best among all with a very meaty role), Shruti Hassan (lot of scope to show her emotions which she has handled aplomb), Nagarjuna (shines as villain but being outshone by Soubin), satyaraj (and his reunion with Rajni after 36 years is refreshing) has done his part decently well and makes an impact while of course Super Star is awesome, looks good and does his part aptly and effortlessly as he has done in the recent past movies. Agree thereโs some semblance to *Baasha* but that is where the comparison ends as the flashbacks are not that impactful like in Baasha.
Pooja Hegde sizzles in theโMonica Belluciโ song which tops the chart while Aniโs BGM is good at places but too noisy otherwise.
Aamir khan has nothing much to show for and comes towards the end (like Surya did towards the end of Vikram) and looked more a clown.
First half very engaging and intriguing with encouraging signs at the break while second half is so mediocre - confusing with too many villains, too many fights, too many killings that just elongated the movie with an expected end.
However liked the way the movie ended pertaining to collie 5821 and his identity.
Rating - 3.75 for 1st half and a 2.0 for 2nd half (but definitely far better than โThug Lifeโ ๐)
