📌 Overall: A complete Superstar Rajinikanth movie - engaging, entertaining, and never boring. Best enjoyed with zero expectations.

Parts of it felt like it was trying to be Vikram, then there were parts where it looked like it was trying to be Jailer; suffice to say, it didn't feel like it had any identity of its own. The way it began felt very similar to the flow of the first half of Vikram, with the investigation of a death and stuff surrounding it. The main difference is that it's the Superstar himself doing the investigation. It didn't work as much as Vikram, but it still made you feel like there's something more, which makes you wait for the rest of the movie. But then the rest was just a convoluted mess. It feels like Lokesh has already exhausted all his good ideas by the first half of Leo, and the rest is slowly unveiling as a mess.

Even though this is the weakest Lokesh film, it does have its moments. The buildup was nice, and there were also a lot of scenes that worked really well. Nagarjuna looked stylish as the Villain, but after a point, it felt like he was repeating the same things. Soubin was the one who was the more persistent villain, but it felt like the writing went over the top for that character. The flashback portions were nice, but maybe that was because it was short. Upendra really made the movie better than it was with his screen presence in the few scenes he was in. It really felt like he could've made the movie better. Amir Khan said that he agreed to the movie without reading the script because it was a Rajnikanth film, and that was exactly his character. Even though he had nothing to do, it was fun to see him with Rajnikanth and Upendra.

Even though the script was a convoluted mess, there were enough good moments in it that made it an average watch for me. With a good crowd, this could be fun in the theaters; however, this was a disappointing experience.

Good and full enjoyment.is a mass entertainer powered by Rajinikanth's vintage swagger, Anirudh's thumping score, and a star-studded cast including Nagarjuna, Shruti Haasan, and Aamir Khan. While fans praise its style, action, and music, critics note uneven pacing and a weak second half. A treat for Rajini fans, though narrative depth takes a back seat.

Honestly, the story feels pretty outdated - some bits work, some don't, but nothing really fresh. The pacing is flat, the narration drags on forever, and the writing just doesn't have that spark.

Rajinikanth is fine, but nowhere near his peak form. Nagarjuna? Totally wasted potential. The rest of the cast... well, let's just say they didn't leave much of an impression.

Music hits okay in a few scenes, but overall nothing that sticks in your head. Cinematography is meh - not bad, not wow. Sets are passable, but nothing grand. Lokesh's direction is probably the biggest letdown... feels like he just wasn't in the zone for this one.

End of the day? Save your time - not worth the watch unless you're a diehard fan who just has to see everything.

Coolie number 5821 - This is more of a Lokesh (Loki) movie which is driven by our super star Rajinikanth loaded with multiple star casts and Anirudh BGM is very enjoyable and elevated the movie to different level. When Vikram movie came, everyone went crazy because it was a excellent storyline, screenplay etc and it created a Loki universe (LCU) and was a trend setter.

To continue Loki legacy with actor like Rajnikanth, it is difficult to think something completely different story and it may not work as well. So, he sticked on to same (Vikram) kind of a cinematic experience to present to the audience (To attract rajini's wide fan base from various generations) which is really good to see. But there is no concrete storyline to support this movie and audience gets bit confused when this kind of a story moves so fast with not a big purpose (storyline). This movie is really a good one loaded with Rajnikanth swag and style on a big screen and it is a cinematic gift for 50 years completion and also to see Vintage Rajnikanth in falshback gives goosebumps. I like loki movies with the way he takes it in his style and so I like this movie as well and worth to watch in theatres. This movie has lots of attractive action sequence to enjoy. Actor Soubin Sahir acting was too good and eye catching and acted effortlessly, Ratchagan hero Nagarjuna is back in negative shade & did a decent job in acting with his style, look & charm, Sathyaraj comes only in flashback and he is too good as usual & Shrutihasan role was really good, cameos by Upendra & Amir khan is really good. Other actors Kanna Ravi, Rachita Ram, Charle did a good supporting role.

Overall, a cinematic gift to our beloved Superstar Rajnikanth at the age of 75 to cherish with overlaoded violence in Loki style and only he can manage these kind of stories with lot of stars studded with excellent screenplay but he needs to move on with different kind of storyline or subjects to continue his legacy forward.
