Movie Review.
Superstar Rajni and Director Pa Ranjith once again joins hands after together for their second film after Kabali. It's not an another milestone but still its better than Rajni's previous movies.😞
The director has brilliantly covered a lot of stuff in 150 mins - communalism , politics, exploitation of poor by the rich, caste-divisions within the society and the whole Ram vs Raavan thing, providing with a social message and made it into a commercial way 👏
Neat and Simple Intro from Superstar Rajnikanth ❤ His smile, looks and hard hitting dialogues never shades no matter how many years passed ! His evergreen screen presence is exemplary and unmatchable no matter how old he gets. His romance portion with Eswari is refreshing and suits Rajini’s current image. 🙏😍
Happy to see Baba Nana Pathekar in top form. Probably the best performance from him in recent times. Felt like the director gave more importance to him than Thalaiva! 👏👏 A well etched out character which gets enhanced with an irreproachable performance. 😍
Great Debut from Hema Qureshi in Kollywood! Huma Qureshi’s love track with Rajnikanth looked a little stretched.
All the supporting actors, from Samuthirakani, Dileepan, Manikandan and others have done their part well.😁
The movie begins with an animated story telling similar to Rajamouli's Bahubaali followed by family drama which seems more engaging. The pre-interval block has a typical masala stunt sequence that is staged on a Mumbai flyover reminds you of the Rajinikanth of yesteryear . 😁
However, the second half deals with protests and is majorly dialogue-oriented, and it may seem less engaging at some points. It's all about Nana Pathekar vs Rajnikanth. Climax part could have been better . Same Dead Old story and Uninteresting screenplay. 😔
There are plenty of slow-motion shots, crowd-pleasing mass scenes and most importantly the style of Superstar has been put to good use with the support of some terrific background score by Santhosh Narayanan.❤
Felt movie is far better than Kabali. Looks like Rajnikanth made long political speech through this movie. Movie is an average political propaganda film which is watchable only for Rajinikanth and a few high moments.
Watch with ZERO expectation. !! 😐
