      Dumbfound writing abd direction

      The movie just tried to aet a plot without any story There were time lapses as it skips at many places.

      No link in the storyline.

      Even the writing is very ill linked.

      No seriousness of acting or even story building, fake actions and illogical screenplay.

      I would have skipped this movie.

      It starts with a sorry state normal citizen so called angry young man unhappy with a local goon. And the place name for the Hindi dubbed is kept as Dehu road which suits stupidly into the story.

      The goon gets promoted himself to a politician with more ill deeds and this young man becomes a police officer.

      And everything after that is just jumbled and copied from other movies.

      DSP is (Disappointing Sethu Pati)

      Movie is commensing with a slow motion drama and ending with an illogical theme. Same story of rivalry between hero and villain, same pathetic stereotype scenes,same climax , what we all have been watching from a decade .

      There is no hope for something New and special .

      A huge request from north india audience please don't disclose this kind of such a stereotype disasterious drama whatever is running through your some action sequences in this movie.

      After 96 movie, Iam a fan of Vijay Sethupati and I used to watch every movies of Vijay without watching a review of social media, so please don't break that trust. We are in 2023 instead of 2003 . Don't do this kind of movies for money.

      Time waste

      Copy n pasted What a waste of time. As with most masala movies, you would expect the initial humour, love chasing etc and for a bit and then things get serious. In DSP, it's like sitting on a plane taxiing on the longest runway without ever taking off. Complete lack of intelligence, with an all too familiar plot, lacklustre action and comedy scenes and pitiful characterization. Why do they make so many people look. And behave like utter idiots? And entire police station filled with numbnuts? The movie has a timeline that hops and skips all over the place and even the songs were painful to experience. DSP tries to be your typical masala movie with comedy, romance, songs and action. Unfortunately it fails spectacularly on all fronts. I usually enjoy masala movies of a similar plot but DSP left me laughing at the stupidity of it all. Why Vijay Sethupathi agreed to act in such a film defeats me really.

      Botched up end to the movie

      The story is typical is that of a typical Tamil "masala" movie. Even though the story was nothing special - it had the potential to be entertaining in parts. The entire sequence about the lead actor's sister's wedding was totally unnecessary and they could have used some of that time to build the main character. The songs were also unnecessary. The worse thing was how they botched up the ending as though the director ran out of budget and time so tried to wrap it up hurriedly.

      Nothing special about the casting - they cast characters without any screen presence and who cannot speak a smattering of the language. The voice overs are also badly done.

      I would NOT recommend this movie.

      Hero needs to loose weight

      Below average, few funny scenes here and there. Not worth the watch. Don't wish to fat shame but Vijay badly needs to take care of his appearance.

      No role for side actors, script is quite weak. The smoking scene with background music was unnecessary. Pandiamma character was funny the actor was great as usual. Skipped past most songs, as they lack a punch or replay value. Vijays last few movie's haven't been great, he's a great actor but needs to choose his movie's more wisely. Heroism alone can't carry a movie, story and supporting actors matter a lot.

      Hope he learns from his mistakes and does better.

        DSP: Vijay Sethupathi dons the role of a cop for the second time and must say, he has done a fabulous job. It's Vijay's honest attempt at being his usual self, giving us some clap-worthy moments - Pinkvilla
