I felt that Beast was nice only because of the 2 songs, Arabic Kuthu and Jolly O Gymkhana..other than that, the story was a LETDOWN, although Vijay's acting was good and powerful!! I had so much of expectations for this movie since Doctor became a big hit and was superb, but as a Vijay fan, this was a letdown for the 2nd time for me, as I didn't even like Master due to it's slow going movie which wears me down!! No doubt that Vijay did his part well, but felt that as if he was the only solo actor in the movie, and the other supporting actors were not there or sleeping, that was the feeling I had. Terrorists hijacking a mall and to foil their plan is not easy!! It takes time!! Does the director know that?? Felt that Thuppaki was way more better than this story. For Pooja, she was cute, beautiful..love her very much, and she did dance beautifully in those 2 songs besides Vijay's superb dancing. She could have been given a more meatier role in this movie. Anirudh's music was superb as always. In summary, the only major let down was the story and screenplay (including the comedies in between), which sorry to say was haphazard, as most of the comedies did not even fit in well, except for the psychiatrist comedy with vijay and vtv Ganesh's comedy here and there. Bjorn could have been in one of the characters as he has the potential..and wasn't even shown properly in Jolly O Gymkhana..major let down. I hope the director and Vijay would draw lessons from this to improve themselves.
