Bigil - a movie that you expect to see on a Deepavali weekend, which took the usual social message formula pretty seriously. Not only that, the execution got the right emotions from almost everyone. There are tons of things that could've been done better - draggy screenplay, father-son interactions, romantic portion etc. and yet, the film still works out. Reason - Thalapathy letting his girls to do the job!
The latter half was dominated by the girls, which actually made the film happening, apart from the comic relief by Yogi and Vivek. ARR delivered one of the finest BGM for a non-Maniratnam movie, after a long time
The way this man carries the movie, Thalapathy Vijay is surely in his pinnacle of his career.
Witnessing a man making mockery of how unbearable the movie was, and yet staying through till the end credits, summarises the result!
Bottomline - a fantasy commercial film backed up by high production value.
Go for it. Have fun. But, don't forget to switch off your critic sense, especially if you are a football fanatic.
