The Movie was actually decent & a one time watchable in theatres, not sure if it will do justice in OTT.

The Concept behind the story was good but the presentation output of the story was the problem mainly editing (more on that later).

The Art direction, costumes, etc. Was exceptionally good. Crew should be applauded.

Cinematography was Brilliant.

Many Actors performed really good especially Surya. The Humor part / actors were not up to the par though.

VFX was good in some places but I think the budget could have been slightly more balanced towards vfx especially during the wide shots, It was rather poor.

Now coming to the worse part due to which I think the audience is actually not happy.

Sound: This is definitely what breaks the immersion of the movie. What was that ???!!!, I literally took cotton plugs for my ears & even with that, I could barely be able to muffle some of the shouts or music. That was awful on the sound designer part / Siva director.

Screen play: Some scenes were good, some felt laggy & unnecessary and could have been cut out.

Action: As always, Over the top action where physics don't apply. The idiot filmmakers should hire a set of people especially for this to make it presentable on screen.

Spoilers Below: Coming back to editing, the initial 30 minutes of the present story could have been shortened(slightly boring and non-humorous) and this could have been to elaborate the 5 island stories. I think this was the base of the Film which they missed to present on screen and score points.

Those 11th century stories were cut short by an animated film which was really hard to remember in detail. Instead of 3 min animation, they could have extended it to 15 min showcasing their intention and skills for each of the groups.

Short Review: Good - Music, Stunts, Cinematography, Acting

Bad - Weak story, Weak villain

The whole movie was a character Intro forcefully extended into a film. Absolutely unnecessary.

Long Review: The Intro and biting into the movie was good. Fight stunts were really good (Vijay did his part well). But chase scene in the mid of movie was awful to watch with over the top physics and Many of the fight scenes were really exaggerated like 1 vs 1000 people, really stupid.

VFX on some scenes were really exceptional but in some other scenes (mid chase) were really awful to watch, looks like they rushed the post production here.

Cinematography in overall movie was done really great(Loki Trademark) even though the VFX failed in certain portions.

Story & Character building were absent in this movie which was the biggest disappointment that basically bored and killed the enthusiasm of the audience.

There was only one thing to which the Movie was hanging on to until the end i.e. If Leo is in LCU( Lokesh Cinematic Universe) or not. That's pretty much it.

This is Loki's worst movie in his career so far. One time watchable for the fans and nothing more.

The concept of the series is really good. Started really well. But the story lags a lot due to poor writing and no character deailing after certain episodes. They show the same old thing again and again and put bits of pieces of story here and there.

A good scrpit combined with Extremely bad screenplay and story writing. Not sure about the acting as well.

Overall not worth wasting your time because you will feel bored after a certain episode and feel dissappointed to have started watching this series. I had to really push myself to watch and finish this series which shouldn;t be the case.

Only 6/10 at maximum for the concept.
