Lokesh could have included a few impactful characters like Rajinikanth, Soubin, Nagarjuna, Shruti, and Rachita Ram to complete the film meaningfully, rather than bringing in Upendra and Aamir Khan, whose roles felt underutilized and added little value to the story. At the very least, a strong backstory for these characters could have made their presence more effective.
Even Rajinikanth wasnโt used to his full potentialโsome of his powerful dialogues lacked the usual impact and felt surprisingly weak. As a Rajini fan, I liked it personally.
