Pros: Vijay gave it his best.
Ik some scenes are cringe (like mgr impersonation) but he did have aura in mass scenes like the police entry, the part where he talks about women safety, and the emotional scenes at the start with mamitha after GVM gets killed, the songs were imo great, they kept me from being bored.. and im glad mamitha was his daughter instead of heroine.
I didnt want him to repeat the mistake in goat with meenakshi so thank god.
Pooja was decent, she did help him.
Bobby and prakash raj were ok too, wont say so bad but not that great either.. anirudh's bgms were mass for me, also the robots werent as bad vfx as they said, to me they seemed ok..
Cons: The story drags a lot in 2nd half.
First half was ok but the transtioning could have been better imo, they keep switching from bobby to vijay and vice versa randomly.
Also many characters just there for sake of it, and vijay calling pooja aunty why the hell that scene was there...Overall: not his best film, he deserved better farewell.. but as a fan, yea vijay makes it watchable for me, any other actor wouldnt have."
