Casts were well utilised but there is a slight drag in screenplay. Twists were working out only at that moment but failed to take the moment to momentum.

Villain role is not suited for Mohan. Though he is not a main villain but the entire story revolves around his revenge and so could have had a better villain who make impact with eyes & dialogues. De-aging worked out very well and its treat to watch "Ilaya" thalapathy.

Story like this require nail biting screen play for the audience to sit at the corner of their seats with interesting twists which gives turns in the story. Seems like director worked towards it but lost to the stardom.

Thalapathy is fantastic treat to watch in the screen.

The same issue like previous Vijay movies since Mersal, promises so much, only to flatter to deceive

And it's usual Thalapathy show all the way, he tried as hard as he can to save the day, by donning the Ilayathalapathy character as well, but the script offered him only so much, after a point, it's exhausting.

Rest of the cast have got absolutely nothing character or story wise, but the most laughable character is Meenakshi's, even GK character was better than this.

Technically, it doesn't feel we are watching a big budget movie, shaky cinematography, movie needs serious trimming of 20-25 minutes, action was fine in bits and pieces, Yuvan's work is outright disaster, neither the songs worked nor BGM, horrible. De-ageing looked decent, but the VFX and production values are average.

Coming to Venkat Prabhu, on paper, this looks a good idea, 1st half was decently engaging, but second half was below par. Few meta references, cameos worked, but this needed MANKATHA Level direction.

Bottomline: Watch it if you wanna see the sinister side of Vijay.

Snapchat and insta filters was used in the first scene and most of the vfx work. VFX cringe was at peak. It was a ok movie not at all a greatest of all time. Nowadays high Background music and slow-mo walk became mass scene for the audience.
