watched the movie in morning 10:00 am Director #VenkatPrabhu deserves huge props for crafting "GOAT"—a globe-trotting story packed with family feels, action, humor, drama, and plenty of surprises and nods to #Vijay's stellar career. He's given #ThalapathyVijay a role that's a refreshing change from his recent films. @actorvijay plays two totally different characters, which makes the movie all the more intriguing. The first half of GOAT is really gripping, with @vp_offl setting up a terrific interval block that will blow your mind. The second half is fast-paced, packed with whistle-worthy moments. The film really picks up after the interval with an intense face-off, keeping things fast, loaded with twists and turns. Thalapathy Vijay, in full form, got his usual charm, emotional depth, action moves, dance skills, and humor on full display, which is sure to strike the chord with fans and family audience. The action sequences are stylishly choreographed. #Yuvan's background score is on point, especially with a remix of an old #Ilaiyaraja song that makes you want to dance. Plus, the Bhavatharini track "Chinna Chinna Kangal," made with AI, is really touching and soulful. The film also gives a perfect a touching tribute to Captain #Vijayakanth. The climax gives another high, leaves you wanting more. In the end, it doesn't feel like a 3 hour film as it's packed so racy and deserves a repeat watch with your family. Special mention to producer @archanakalpathi for making this film a big screen spectacle, and technically it's on par with some of the best hollywood action films.
