“Bigil fails to make impression”
First half is pathetic, not at all engaging. Father character doesn’t seems to fit Vijay. Screenplay in first half completely messed up.
Second half actually bails out the movie. Football portion in second half works out well. It looks like second half is completely different movie than first half. Vijay engagement with two players and bringing them back to football is good and works out well.
“Scissors cut” is one of the toughest tough shot actually mastered by Football greats are used very frequently. They could have avoided.
All the sports movies are have highly motivational and those speeches are used widely in corporate training. But this movie fails to reach that level. Falls flat.
Overall lengthy, less engaging another Vijay movie which can be watched once, but definitely not a great movie.
