Vijay makes 300crores box office movies every year with ease and this may also become one of those following the success of Master but overall for fans and as a movie it's a letdown.
Movie lacks Drama, Plot, Purpose and A Good Ending.
With the trailer it was very clear that 70-80% movie is going to be in Mall setting only. Nothing wrong Die Hard and Speed have done it in restricted setting but this movie had no drama and story spine to elevate audience interest to what's coming next.
Whole movie is a treat for Anirudh fans and slow mo lovers.
Cinematography is by far the best for 2022 Really happy to see the jet scene and CGI was spot on.
Very much like Ironman scene.
Went for morning first show Paid 4x times Took a leave from work Convinced myself that this is going to be good & returned home disappointed.
Also need to mention few things East Cost mall aerial shots were terrible (Probably shot on low end drones and hardly colour corrected/matched) Opening was great Wish the whole movie was about SPY living in POK and rescuing them as a normal Pakistani Localite against ISIS or ISS if they are afraid to take names.
Chemistry between Both leads was pointless.
Villain was hardly used to his potential just masked entire time like he's hardly given them any dates for shooting.
Even the mask was a joke nothing to remember.
Skating Fight was poorly choreographed and casting was poor too Altaf was bad, Umar was a joke, Comedians were used anywhere and anytime.
Highlights Jet CGI POK Scenes Songs BGM & Vijay Performance.

As anticipated, Nelson succumbs to the star tropes of Thalapathy Vijay, failing to come up with a script that'd even keep viewers mildly interested. In fact, the opening act is the only decent stretch in the entire film. Everything from PTSD therapy to terrorism to women's looks is shamed to the core. The mass elevations are zilch, and Veeraraghavan's awkward stiffness doesn't work here at all. It's like Nelson literally planted Vijay in a Doctor-like universe where everything including a hostage situation is treated too lightly, terrorists act like caricatures, there's a buffoon for a home minister, and the supposed humour doesn't function one bit. The writing lazily imagines Vijay shooting and stabbing his way through dozens of baddies for nearly three hours, with an uber-cute Pooja Hedge hot on his trail for no legitimate reason whatsoever. Anirudh delivers on the musical front, but in a film where nothing really sticks, it'll hardly be remembered. Nelson needs to rework his formula that worked pretty well in his first two films - the secret sauce (dark comedy + hilarious supporting acts) is terribly lacking in Beast. And oh, that dreadful climactic stretch.. nail in the coffin!
The story may lack novelty, but the treatment offers a slight freshness.
However, the screenplay fails to captivate, lacking the necessary intrigue.
While some comedy scenes hit the mark, others fall flat.
The action sequences prove to be highlights, delivering excitement and entertainment.
On the other hand, certain serious scenes come across as silly, failing to create the intended impact.
Vijay delivers a stellar performance, showcasing his talent and skill.
As for Pooja, well, you know..
The songs and background music are noteworthy, adding to the overall experience.
The cinematography and production design are decent, contributing to the visual appeal of the film.
A special mention goes to the editing, which is executed with great skill.
While this may not be considered an outstanding movie, it can serve as a casual weekend pastime.

Terrorists in this movie has no brain ... Jokes didn't work well but some lines might put a smile in your face ... Action scenes are a bit off seems like hero is an Indian Saitama... 180 mins of one action packed non boring movie...
