The movie has no story at all. It's about a couple who fight then makeup then fight and makeup, this keeps going on throughout the movie, tiring everyone out. And everyone is yelling all the time. I saw it on OTT and sound was unbearable. I sympathise with people who saw this in theatre, they must have gone deaf.

The 4 stars are for solid performances by all cast despite the lacklustre script. There are a few funny moments but there is only so much yelling one can take. So movie is a good way to get a headache(Thalavalli).

Had lot of expectations for the movie with the hype built around it but the movie doesn't satisfy in anyway. There is no proper screenplay and it looks like the director is building it up as he shot it. A threadbare story of Rajinikanth trying to investigate his friends death in a port company doing illegal things besides the mass killings. Excessive violence without sense is the norm of the time but the good part is the movie is rated "A".

Rajnikanth looks tired throughout the movie. Nagarjuna as the main villian is very disappointing, Soubin works well as the second villian but his background story was quite half-baked.

Shruthi Hassan gives her best performance till date, any illogical scenes, she had is the directors fault.

Upendra a top Hero, director from Kannada cinema is given a sidekick role with no dialogues but still makes a remarkable entry. He needed better treatment.

The actress playing Soubin's wife was disappointing. She was meant to be showcased like Agent Tina in "Vikram" but she has no screen presence nor the looks to attract the audience.

Music is disappointing except the Upendra intro song.

The last cameo of Aamir Khan looks forced and has no connection to the main film. And why on earth is Aamir Khan dressed like a teenager when he is supposed to be this mafia head. He got the worst possible meaningless role in the movie.

Only hardcore Rajni fans can watch this convoluted mess.

I have seen Natasha Lyonne in "Russian Doll" Season 1 and she suited that role well. This series makes you realise her acting range is very limited and she seems to be doing the same style of acting given any character. I tried to like this but except for couple of episodes in Season 1, the writing is pathetic and predictable in every episode.

Just fail to understand the ratings, it is so repetitive and there is no creativity at all in the episodes. Just bringing different guest actors and putting different setups with the same storyline doesn't make it a interesting watch.

Compare this with "High Potential" where you have a similar character with special skills but each episode surprises you.

US TV show writing has always very inferior to UK TV and the ratings for this show proves even the US audience expectation has gone very low.
